Suppose you want a telescope that would allow you to see distinguishing features as small as 3.5 km on the Moon some 384,000 km

away. Assume an average wavelength of 550 nm for the light received.Required:What is the minimum diameter mirror on a telescope?

Explanation:

\theta=1.22 \frac{\lambda}{D}

And, from equation ( 2 ), we get

\theta=\frac{x}{d}

Thus,

\frac{x}{d} &=1.22 \frac{\lambda}{D}

D &=1.22 \frac{\lambda d}{x}

=1.22 \frac{550 \times 10^{-9} 3.84 \times 10^{8}}{5 \times 10^{3}}

=0.0515 \mathrm{m}

Thus, the diameter of the telescope's mirror that would allow us to see details as small as is

If the angular frequency of the motion of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled, by what factor does the maximum acceleration
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

When we double the angular velocity the maximum acceleration (a_{max}) will changes by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

Given the angular frequency (\omega) of the simple harmonic oscillator is doubled.

We need to find the change in the maximum acceleration of the oscillator.

a_{max}=A\omega^2

Now, according to the problem, the angular frequency (\omega) got doubled.

Let us plug \omega=2\times \omega. Then the maximum acceleration will be a_{max'}

a_{max}=A\omega^2

a_{max'}=A(2\times \omega)^2\\a_{max'}=A\times 4\omega\\a_{max'}=4A\omega

a_{max'}=4a_{max}

We can see, when we double the angular velocity the maximum acceleration will changes by a factor of 4.

a 100g ice cube at 0 degrees celsius is placed in 650 grams of water at 25 degrees celsius. When the mixture reaches equillibriu
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The latent heat of fusion of water is 334.88 Joules per gram of water.

Explanation:

Let the latent heat of ice be 'x' J/g

1) Thus heat absorbed by 100 gram of ice to get converted into water equals

Q_1=100\times x

2) heat energy required to raise the temperature of water from 0 to 25 degree Celsius equals

Q_2=100\times 4.186\times 11=4604.6Joules

Thus total energy needed equals Q_1+Q_2=100x+4604.6

3) Heat energy released by the decrease in the temperature of water from 25 to 11 degree Celsius is

Q_3=650\times 4.186\times (25-11)\\\\Q_{3}=38092.6Joules

Now by conservation of energy we have

Q_1+Q_2=Q_3\\\\100x+4604.6=38092.6\\\\\therefore x=\frac{38092.6-4604.6}{100}=334.88J/g
