Answer:

U = √Rg/sin2θ

Explanation:

Using the formula for "range" in projectile motion to derive the average speed before the ball hits the ground.

Range is the distance covered by the body in the horizontal direction from the point of launch to the point of landing.

According to the range formula,

R = U²sin2θ/g

Cross multiplying we have;

Rg = U²sin2θ

Dividing both sides by sin2θ, we have;

U² = Rg/sin2θ

Taking the square root of both sides we have;

√U² = √Rg/sin2θ

U = √Rg/sin2θ

Therefore, his average speed if he is to meet the ball just before it hits the ground is √Rg/sin2θ

choli [55]

Answer:

They can be seen from a distance of 4.372 kilometers.

Explanation:

Using the Reyligh creterion for diffraction through a circular aperture we have

\frac{x}{D}=\frac{1.22\lambda }{d}

where symbol's have their usual meaning

thus applying values we get

D=\frac{dx}{1.22\lambda }

\therefore D=\frac{0.633\times 4.61\times 10^{-3}}{1.22\times 547\times 10^{-9}}\\\\D=4372.77m\\=4.372km

olga_2 [115]

Answer: f = - 0.50 m, negative (diverging) lens

Explanation: D-value (diopter ) means 1/f, unit is 1/m. Thus -2.0D

Means f = ( 1/ -2.0 ) m = -0.50 m
