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

Minimum diameter of the camera lens is 22.4 cm

Relation between resolvable feature, focal length and angular resolution

d=f\Delta \theta\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{d}{\Delta \theta}\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{9\times 10^{-6}}{3\times 10^{-6}}=3\ m=300\ cm

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

The innermost satellite of jupiter orbits the planet with a radius of 422 × 103 km and a period of 1.77 days. what is the mass o
FinnZ [79.3K]

The mass of Jupitar is obtained from the calculations as 5.8 * 10^-14 Kg.

<h3>What is the mass of Jupitar?</h3>

There are nine planets in the solar system and the sun lies at the enter of our solar system. This is the heliocentric model of the solar system.

Given that;

T^2 = GMr^3/4π

T = period

G = gravitational constant

r = radius

M = mass of Jupitar

Now;

1 day = 86400 seconds

1.77 days = 1.77 days *  86400 seconds/1 day

= 152928 seconds

Making M the subject of the formula;

M =4πT^2/Gr^3

M = 4 * 3.142 * (152928)^2/6.67 × 10^-11 * (422 × 10^9)^3

M = 2.9 * 10^11/5.0 * 10^24

M = 5.8 * 10^-14 Kg

Chose the word that correctly completes the following sentence: Kirchoff's junction law expresses the conservation of ____. a) m
Radda [10]

Answer:A- mass charge.

This can also be called current.

Explanation:

This is Kirchhoff’s 2nd law.

Kirchhoff’s junction law states that the sum of current(mass charge) flowing in and out of the junction must be equal to zero. This law emphasizes conservation of charge and energy. Charge is also a form of energy and it can neither be created nor destroyed.
