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

Suppose you increase your walking speed from 7 m/s to 15 m/s in a period of 2 m. What is your acceleration?
likoan [24]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (end speed) - (start speed) = (15 m/s - 7 m/s) = 8 m/s

time for the change = 2 minutes = 120 seconds

Acceleration = (8 m/s) / (120 seconds)

Acceleration = 0.067 m/s²

The correct answer is 195.6 N

Explanation:

Different from the mass (total of matter) the weight is affected by gravity. Due to this, the weight changes according to the location of a body in the universe as gravity is not the same in all planets or celestial bodies. Moreover, this factor is measured in Newtons and it can be calculated using this simple formula W (Weight) = m (mass) x g (force of gravity). Now, leps calculate the weigh of someone whose mass is 120 kg and it is located on the moon:

F = 120 kg x 1.63 m/s2

F= 195.6 N
