Early cameras were little more than a box with a pinhole on the side opposite the film. (a) What angular resolution would you ex

pect from a pinhole with a 0.50-mm diameter? (b) What is the greatest distance from the camera at which two point objects 15 cm apart can be resolved? (Assume light with a wavelength of 520 nm.

Answer:

angular resolution = 0.07270° = 1.269 × $10^{-3}$ rad

greatest distance from the camera = 118.20 m = 0.118 km

Explanation:

given data

diameter = 0.50 mm = 0.5 × $10^{-3}$ m

distance apart = 15 cm = 15× $10^{-2}$ m

wavelength λ = 520 nm = 520 × $10^{-9}$ m

to find out

angular resolution and greatest distance from the camera

solution

first we expression here angular resolution that is

sin θ = $\frac{1.22* \lambda }{D}$ .......................1

put here value λ is wavelength and d is diameter

we get

sin θ = $\frac{1.22*520*10^{-9}}{0.5*10^{-3}}$

θ = 0.07270° = 1.269 × $10^{-3}$ rad

and

distance from camera is calculate here as

θ = $\frac{I}{r}$ .................2

I = $\frac{15*10^{-2}}{1.269*10^{-3}}$

I = 118.20 m = 0.118 km

A sportscar has a mass of 1500 kg and accelerates at 5 meters per second squared. What is the magnitude of the force acting on t

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

7500 Newtons

Explanation:

Mass of the sportscar= 1500 kg

Acceleration of the sportscar= 5m/s^2

Hence, let the Force acting on it be F

$We\ know\ that,\\Force=Mass*Acceleration\\F=ma\\\\Here,\\F=1500*5\\=7500 kg m/s^2\ or\ 7500\ Newtons$

An object has the acceleration graph shown in (Figure 1). Its velocity at t=0s is vx=2.0m/s. Draw the object's velocity graph fo

timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

We may notice that change in velocity can be obtained by calculating areas between acceleration lines and horizontal axis ("Time"). Mathematically, we know that:

$v_{b}-v_{a} = \int\limits^{t_{b}}_{t_{a}} {a(t)} \, dt$

$v_{b} = v_{a}+ \int\limits^{t_{b}}_{t_{a}} {a(t)} \, dt$

Where:

$v_{a}$ , $v_{b}$ - Initial and final velocities, measured in meters per second.

$t_{a}$ , $t_{b}$ - Initial and final times, measured in seconds.

$a(t)$ - Acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

Acceleration is the slope of velocity, as we know that each line is an horizontal one, then, velocity curves are lines with slopes different of zero. There are three region where velocities should be found:

Region I (t = 0 s to t = 4 s)

$v_{4} = 2\,\frac{m}{s} +\int\limits^{4\,s}_{0\,s} {\left(-2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)} \, dt$

$v_{4} = 2\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(-2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (4\,s-0\,s)$

$v_{4} = -6\,\frac{m}{s}$

Region II (t = 4 s to t = 6 s)

$v_{6} = -6\,\frac{m}{s} +\int\limits^{6\,s}_{4\,s} {\left(1\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)} \, dt$

$v_{6} = -6\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(1\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (6\,s-4\,s)$

$v_{6} = -4\,\frac{m}{s}$

Region III (t = 6 s to t = 10 s)

$v_{10} = -4\,\frac{m}{s} +\int\limits^{10\,s}_{6\,s} {\left(2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)} \, dt$

$v_{10} = -4\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (10\,s-6\,s)$

$v_{10} = 4\,\frac{m}{s}$

Finally, we draw the object's velocity graph as follows. Graphic is attached below.

Which law of motion accounts for the following statement?

strojnjashka [21]

I know that its not the second law. I'm almost positive its the first one. Please let me know if I'm wrong. This sentence makes no sense when you put it with the third law. So, the first law is my guess...

If a planet has the same mass as the earth, but has twice the radius, how does the surface gravity, g, compare to g on the surfa

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The surface gravity g of the planet is 1/4 of the surface gravity on earth.

Explanation:

Surface gravity is given by the following formula:

$g=G\frac{m}{r^{2}}$

So the gravity of both the earth and the planet is written in terms of their own radius, so we get:

$g_{E}=G\frac{m}{r_{E}^{2}}$

$g_{P}=G\frac{m}{r_{P}^{2}}$

The problem tells us the radius of the planet is twice that of the radius on earth, so:

$r_{P}=2r_{E}$

If we substituted that into the gravity of the planet equation we would end up with the following formula:

$g_{P}=G\frac{m}{(2r_{E})^{2}}$

Which yields:

$g_{P}=G\frac{m}{4r_{E}^{2}}$

So we can now compare the two gravities:

$\frac{g_{P}}{g_{E}}=\frac{G\frac{m}{4r_{E}^{2}}}{G\frac{m}{r_{E}^{2}}}$

When simplifying the ratio we end up with:

$\frac{g_{P}}{g_{E}}=\frac{1}{4}$

So the gravity acceleration on the surface of the planet is 1/4 of that on the surface of Earth.
