Answer:
Collinear is when points are in the same straight line but coplanar is when points are all on the same plane.
Answer:
θ = 4.716 10⁻⁶ rad
Explanation:
In order for the releases to be considered separate, they must meet the Rayleigh criterion that establishes that the maximum diffraction of one star must coincide with the first minimum of the diffraction pattern of the second star.
We use the diffraction equation for a slit
a sin θ = m λ
The minimum occurs at m = 1
sin θ = λ / a
Since the angles in these systems are very small, we can approximate the sine to its angle in radians
θ = λ / a
The telescope has a circular aperture whereby polar cords should be used, which introduces a constant number
θ = 1.22 λ / a
Let's calculate
θ = 1.22 518 10⁻⁹ / 13.4 10⁻²
θ = 4.716 10⁻⁶ rad
Answer:
Statement A is greater than Statement B.
Explanation:
Statement A: 2.567 km, to two significant figures..
To 2 sig figures means only 2 whole numbers should be left after approximation. Thus, 2.567 to 2 significant figures is 2.6 km
Statement B: 2.567 km, to three significant figures. To 3 sig figures means only 3 whole numbers should be left after approximation. Thus, 2.567 to 3 significant figures is 2.57 km
Comparing both values, statement A is obviously greater than Statement B
I think that the downstairs would be faster because the water wouldn't have to go all the way up which make it slower
