The moon is 3.85 x 10 to the 8 m from earth and has a diameter of 3.48 x 10 to the 6 m. You have a pea (diameter = 0.50 cm) and

a dime (diameter = 1.8 cm). Close one eye and hold each object at arm's length (71 cm) between your open eye and the moon. Which objects, if any, completely cover your view of the moon? Assume that the moon and both objects are sufficiently far from your eye that the given diameters are equal to arc lengths when calculating angles.
a. dime
b. neither
c. pea
d. both

Answer:

(a) dime

Explanation:

Convert all to metric unit:

0.5 cm = 0.005 m

1.8 cm = 0.018 m

71 cm = 0.71 m

In order to find out we would need to calculate the ratio R between the object diameter d and their distance s to our eyes:

R_m = \frac{d_m}{s_m} = \frac{3.48*10^6}{3.85*10^8} \approx 0.009

R_p = \frac{d_p}{s_p} = \frac{0.005}{0.71} \approx 0.007

R_d = \frac{d_d}{s_d} = \frac{0.018}{0.71} \approx 0.0253

Since the ratio of the dime is larger than the ratio of the moon, and the ratio of the pea is smaller than the ratio of the moon, only the (a) dime can cover your view of the moon.

Define limitations in the operation conditions of a pn junction<br>​
suter [353]

Answer:

Such limitations are given below.

Explanation:

  • Each pn junction provides limited measurements of maximum forwarding current, highest possible inversion voltage as well as the maximum output level.
  • If controlled within certain adsorption conditions, the pn junction could very well offer satisfying performance.
  • In connector operation, the maximum inversion voltage seems to be of significant importance.

Una ola oceánica viaja a aproximadamente 1,97 m / s. Esto es 4 millas por hora. La frecuencia de las ondas es de aproximadamente
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

λ = 28,14 m

Explanation:

To find the wavelength of the wave you use the following formula:

v=\lambda f  (1)

v: speed of the wave = 1,97 m/s

λ: wavelength

f: frequency of the wave = 0,07 Hz

You replace the values of v and f in the equation (1) and solve for λ:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{1,97m/s}{0,07Hz}=28,14m

hence, the wavelength of the wave is 28,14 m
