Our eyes can see light with an angular resolution of about 1’—equivalent to about a third of a millimeter at arm’s length. Suppo

se our eyes detected only infrared radiation, with 1° angular resolution. Would we be able to make our way around on Earth’s surface? To read? To sculpt? To create technology?

Answer:

We would not be able to make our way around the earth's surface, to read, to sculpt or to create technology because we cannot see!

Explanation:

The minimum angular separation that can be distinguished by an eye gives the angular resolution of the eye.

Given that the Angular resolution with infrared radiation is = 1.0^0 equal to 60'

This resolution is very much greater than that of the eye (1')

The angular resolution that our eyes can see is about  \frac{1}{3}mm  at arms length

Angular resolution of infrared = \frac{1}{3} * 60 = 20mm  at arms length

We therefore cannot read, sculpt or create technology because we cannot see.

If at 10m above the ground an object has 50J of Kinetic Energy, with 50J of Potential Energy. How high can the object travel?
steposvetlana [31]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{\text{B) 20 meters}}

We know that:

E_T = U + K

U = Potential Energy (J)

K = Kinetic Energy (J)

E = Total Energy (J)

At 10m, the total amount of energy is equivalent to:

U + K = 50 + 50 = 100 J

To find the highest point the object can travel, K = 0 J and U is at a maximum of 100 J, so:

100J = mgh

We know at 10m U = 50J, so we can solve for mass. Let g = 10 m/s².

50J = 10(10)m

m = 1/2 kg

Now, solve for height given that E = 100 J:

100J = 1/2(10)h

100J = 5h

<u>h = 20 meters</u>
