Hey there! My name is Christy and I'm gladly to help you out!

The three main forces that stop moving objects are friction, gravity and wind resistance. Equal forces acting inopposite directions are called balanced forces. Balanced forcesacting on an object will not change the object's motion. When you add equal forces in opposite direction, the netforce is zero.

Hope this helped!

The pupil of a cat's eye narrows to a slit width of 0.5 mm in daylight. What is the angular resolution of the cat's eye in dayli

Elenna [48]

Answer:

C. 10⁻³ rads

Explanation:

Here, we shall use Rayleigh's Criterion to find out the angular resolution of Cat's eye during day light. Rayleigh's Criterion is written as follows:

θ = λ/a

where,

θ = angular resolution of Cat's eye = ?

λ = wavelength = 500 nm = 5 x 10⁻⁷ m

a = slit width of eye = 0.5 mm = 5 x 10⁻⁴ m

Therefore,

θ = (5 x 10⁻⁷ m/5 x 10⁻⁴ m)

Therefore,

θ = 0.001

θ = Sin⁻¹(0.001)

θ = 0.001 rad = 1 x 10⁻³ rad

Hence, the correct answer is:

Which point on the roller coaster's path represents the maximum potential energy?

mariarad [96]

Answer:

Point A (Maximum height)

Explanation:

Potential energy is given as the product of mass, height and acceleration due to gravity hence expressed as mgh where m is the mass of roller coaster, h is the height and g is acceleration due to gravity. Since the mass and g are constant for a roller coaster, the main factor that will influence the magnitude of energy is the height. The higher the height, the higher the potential energy and vice versa. Using the attached image, the highest point is point A
