If the sun is a medium sized star, why does it look bigger than others?

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The sun looks bigger than other stars because it is closer to the Earth, distance makes it look larger

Two light bulbs are 2.0 m apart. From what distance can these light bulbs be marginally resolved by a small telescope with a 4.5

andrezito [222]

Answer:

R = 1.2295 10⁵ m

Explanation:

After reading your problem they give us the diameter of the lens d = 4.50 cm = 0.0450 m, therefore if we use the Rayleigh criterion for the resolution in the diffraction phenomenon, we have that the minimum separation occurs in the first minimum of diffraction of one of the bodies m = 1 coincides with the central maximum of the other body

θ = 1.22 λ / D

where the constant 1.22 leaves the resolution in polar coordinates and D is the lens aperture

how angles are measured in radians

θ = y / R

where y is the separation of the two bodies (bulbs) y = 2 m and R the distance from the bulbs to the lens

$\frac{y}{R} = 1.22 \frac{ \lambda}{D}$

R = $\frac{ y \ D}{1.22 \lambda}$

let's calculate

R = $\frac{ 2 \ 0.045}{ 1.22 \ 600 \ 10^{-9}}$

R = 1.2295 10⁵ m

A ball falls off of a 3m tall shelf. How long will it take for the

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

0.8s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of shelf = 3m

Unknown:

Time it will take to hit the ground = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below;

x = ut + $\frac{1}{2}$ gt²

x is the height

u is the initial velocity = 0m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

t is the time taken = ?

Now insert the parameters and solve for t;

3 = (0 x t) +( $\frac{1}{2}$ x 9.8 x t²)

3 = 4.9t²

t² = 0.6

t = 0.8s

What minimum speed must the rocket have just before impact in order to save the explorer's life?

34kurt

<span>Answer: Assuming that I understand the geometry correctly, the combine package-rocket will move off the cliff with only a horizontal velocity component. The package will then fall under gravity traversing the height of the cliff (h) in a time T given by h = 0.5*g*T^2 However, the speed of the package-rocket system must be sufficient to cross the river in that time v2 = L/T Conservation of momentum says that m1*v1 = (m1 + m2)*v2 where m1 is the mass of the rocket, v1 is the speed of the rocket, m2 is the mass of the package, and v2 is the speed of the package-rocket system. Expressing v2 in terms of v1 v2 = m1*v1/(m1 + m2) and then expressing the time in terms of v1 T = (m1 + m2)*L/(m1*v1) substituting T in the first expression h = 0.5*g*(m1 + m2)^2*L^2/(m1*v1)^2 solving for v1, the speed before impact is given by v1 = sqrt(0.5*g/h)*(m1 + m2)*L/m1</span>

What happens to the movement of particles in a liquid when it is heated?

Yanka [14]

Answer:

When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object expands and takes up more space.
