The VLBA (Very Long Baseline Array) uses a number of individual radio telescopes to make one unit having an equivalent diameter

of about 8000 km. This radio telescope is focusing radio waves of wavelength 2.0 cm. What would have to be the diameter of the mirror of a visible-light telescope focusing light of wavelength 582 nm so that the visible-light telescope has the same resolution as the radio telescope? Give an answer in m. Pay attention to the number of significant figures.

Answer:

d₂=232.8 m

Explanation:

We know that formula for resolution given as

θres = 1.22 λ/d

Where

λ=wavelength

d=diameter

Given that resolution should be same.So we can say that

1.22 λ₁/d₁= 1.22 λ₂/d₂

λ₁/d₁= λ₂/d₂

d_2=\dfrac{\lambda _2}{\lambda _1}d_1

Given that

λ₂=582 nm

λ₁=2 cm

d₁=8000 km

d_2=\dfrac{582\times 10^{-9}\times 8000\times10^3}{0.02}\ m

d₂=232.8 m

Create a piece of evidence showing the relationship between potential and kinetic energy You MUST include the following words: p
Mrac [35]
You could hold any object (like an apple) for your class to see.  (Its potential energy is greatest at this point).  At the point when you are holding the object the potential energy will be equal to the object's mass multiplied by the object's acceleration due to gravity(9. 8 m/s²) multiplied by the height of the object(however high you choose to hold it). Release the object while it is falling, the object's motion will be evidence of the kinetic energy that the object is experiencing. As the object's kinetic energy increases, its potential energy will decrease.  This can be explained by the law of conservation of energy. This law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed it can only change forms.  Finally, explain to your class that mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy. 

I hope this helped. I recommend you  present with an informative powerpoint in the background of your presentation while you present this if you want to do well because it will better show your teacher how much you know rather than if you were to just speak to the class during your presentation.

2. Which part of a refracting telescope forms the image?
Bezzdna [24]

<em> In a refracting telescope </em><u><em>convex lens</em></u><em> forms the image. </em>

<u>Answer:</u> <em>c. Convex mirror</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Telescope is an instrument used for magnification of distant objects. The convex lenses objective and eyepiece are the two parts of a refracting telescope.  

Objective has a greater focal length when compared with the eyepiece. Image of a distant object is formed at the second focal point of the objective. This image is magnified by the eyepiece.  

The objective and eyepiece lenses can only produce an inverted image since they both are convex lenses. The function of producing a final erect image is performed by a pair of inverting lenses.

A technician wishes to determine the wavelength of the light in a laser beam. To do so, she directs the beam toward a partition
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

λ = 5.656 x 10⁻⁷ m = 565.6 nm

Explanation:

Using the formula of fringe spacing from the Young's Double Slit experiment, which is given as follows:

\Delta x = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\\lambda = \frac{\Delta x\ d}{L}

where,

λ = wavelength = ?

Δx = fringe spacing = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m

L = Distance between slits and screen = 4.95 m

d = slit separation = 0.175 mm = 0.000175 m

Therefore,

\lambda = \frac{(0.016\ m)(0.000175\ m)}{4.95\ m}\\\\

<u>λ = 5.656 x 10⁻⁷ m = 565.6 nm</u>

A third baseman makes a throw to first base 40.5 m away. The ball leaves his hand with a speed of 30.0 m/s at a height of 1.4 m
Ugo [173]

Answer:

When the ball goes to first base it will be 4.23 m high.

Explanation:

Horizontal velocity = 30 cos17.3 = 28.64 m/s

   Horizontal displacement = 40.5 m

   Time  

         t=\frac{40.5}{28.64}=1.41s          

   Time to reach the goal posts 40.5 m away = 1.41 seconds

Vertical velocity = 30 sin17.3 = 8.92 m/s

    Time to reach the goal posts 40.5 m away = 1.41 seconds

    Acceleration = -9.81m/s²

    Substituting in s = ut + 0.5at²

             s = 8.92 x 1.41 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 1.41²= 2.83 m

    Height of throw = 1.4 m

    Height traveled by ball = 2.83 m

    Total height = 2.83 + 1.4 = 4.23 m

    When the ball goes to first base it will be 4.23 m high.
