This question is incomplete.Here is complete one

Consider a telescope with a small circular aperture of diameter 2.0 centimeters. If two point sources of light are being imaged by this telescope, what is the maximum wavelength (lambda) at which the two can be resolved if their angular separation is 3.0x10^-5 radians? Express your answer in nanometers

Answer:

λ =492nm

Explanation:

Given Data

diameter=2.0 cm

angular separation=3.0x10^-5 radians

λ=?

Solution

sin(theta) = 1.22 x λ /D

λ=(0.02×sin(3.0×10⁻⁵))/1.22

λ=492nm

a person does 100 joules of work in pulling back the string of a bow. what will be the initial speed of a 0.5 kg arrow when it i
eduard

If all the energy she put into bending the bow is completely
transmitted to the arrow, then the arrow has the 100 joules
of kinetic energy when it leaves the bow.

                 Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

                         100 J        = (1/2) (0.5 kg) (speed²)

Divide each side by 0.25 kg:    100 J / 0.25 kg = speed²

 [ joule ] = [ newton-meter ] = kg-m²/sec²

                                                100 kg-m²/sec² / 0.25 kg = speed²

                                                 400 m²/sec² = speed²

Take the square root of each side:     speed = √400 m/s

                                                                                20 m/s

                                                                    (about 44.7 mph)

Which levels of government establish and implement educational requirements for minors
romanna [79]

Answer:

Federal Role in Education is primarily a State and local responsibility in the United States. It is States and communities, as well as public and private organizations of all kinds, that establish schools and colleges, develop curricula, and determine requirements for enrollment and graduation.

Explanation:

The Role of Public Education in Supporting American Democracy. Since the founding of public education in the United States, public schools have been charged not only with giving future workers skills for the private marketplace, but also with preparing students to be citizens in a democracy.
