<span>2.5 m/s going upward.
In the situation described, Erica and Danny undergo a non-elastic collision which will conserve their combined momentum. Since Erica is stationary, her momentum is 0. And since Danny is moving upward at 4.7 m/s his momentum is 43 kg * 4.7 m/s = 202.1 kg*m/s. Assuming that both Erica and Danny will be moving as a joined system, their combined mass is 38 kg + 43 kg = 81 kg. Since the momentum will be the same, their velocity will be 202.1 kg*m/s / 81 kg = 2.495061728 m/s. Since we only have 2 significant figures in the provided data, rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives a velocity of 2.5 m/s going upward.</span>
Answer:
Option d
The minimum angular separation between two objects that the Hubble Space Telescope can resolve is
.
Explanation:
The resulting image in a telescope that will be gotten from an object is a diffraction pattern instead of a perfect point (point spread function (PSF)).
That diffraction pattern is gotten because the light encounters different obstacles on its path inside the telescope (interacts with the walls and edges of the instrument).
The diffraction pattern is composed by a central disk, called Airy disk, and diffraction rings.
The angular resolution is defined as the minimal separation at which two sources can be resolved one for another, or in other words, when the distance between the two diffraction pattern maxima is greater than the radius of the Airy disk.
The angular resolution can be determined in analytical way by means of the Rayleigh criterion.
(1)
Where
is the wavelength and D is the diameter of the telescope.
Notice that it is necessary to express the wavelength in the same units than the diameter.
⇒
Finally, equation 1 can be used.
Hence, the minimum angular separation between two objects that the Hubble Space Telescope can resolve is
.
Answer:
His first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. In other words its inertia.
Explanation:
Answer:
Newton's First Law of Motion applies here.
Explanation:
Before crashing into the fence, Amy was moving at a certain speed on her bike. As, she crashed her bike into the fence, the collision stopped the bike suddenly. But, Amy had the same speed due to inertia of her body. Due tot his speed Amy did not stop and she was thrown over the fence onto the lawn. So, the force of inertia of Amy's body caused her to be overthrown in this case. We study about inertia in Newton's First Law of Motion, which is also known as Law of Inertia.
