The SI unit of force is the Newton.

1 newton is the force that accelerates a 1 kilogram mass
at the rate of 1 meter per second².

1 pound of force is equivalent to roughly 4.448 newtons.

(1 newton is equivalent to roughly 0.225 pounds of force.)

A block of wood is floating in water; it is depressed slightly and then released to oscillate up and down. Assume that the top a

Marysya12 [62]

Explanation:

Equilibrium position in y direction:

W = Fb (Weight of the block is equal to buoyant force)

m*g = V*p*g

V under water = A*h

hence,

m = A*h*p

Using Newton 2nd Law

$-m*\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} = Fb - W\\\\-m*\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} = p*g*(h+y)*A - A*h*p*g\\\\-A*h*p*\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} = y *p*A*g\\\\\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} + \frac{g}{h} * y =0$

Hence, T time period

T = 2*pi*sqrt ( h / g )

What would happen to the wavelength if the frequency was doubled?

ira [324]

Answer:

λ = hv

If frequency is doubled :

λ = h × 2v

λ = 2hv

Thus wavelength is doubled

A low orbit satellite at 100 km altitude had a camera that resolved a car location to within 0.3 meter. Find the minimum diamete

NeX [460]

Answer:

Minimum diameter of the camera lens is 22.4 cm

The focal length of the camera's lens is 300cm

Explanation:

y = Resolve distance = 0.3 m

h = Height of satellite = 100 km

λ = Wavelength = 550 nm

Angular resolution

$tan\theta\approx \theta =\frac{y}{h}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{0.3}{100\times 10^3}=3\times 10^{-6}$

From Rayleigh criteria

$sin\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{\lambda}{sin\theta}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{550\times 10^{-9}}{sin3\times 10^{-6}}=0.2236\ m=22.4\ cm$
