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

2.1 Define Resultant vector​
lord [1]

Explanation:

In vector geometry, the resultant vector is defined as: “A resultant vector is a combination or, in simpler words, can be defined as the sum of two or more vectors which has its own magnitude and direction.”

I hope it's helpful!

If the distance d (in meters) traveled by an object in time t (in seconds) is given by the formula d=a+bt2, the si units of a an
ss7ja [257]
Distance , d = a+bt^2

The unit of d is in meter and t is in seconds.

So the unit of a a must be meter.

Now we have unit of bt^2 is meter.

So unit of b*second^2 = meter

Unit of b = meter/second^2

So unit of a = m and unit of b = m/s^2.

A 1640 kg merry-go-round with a radius of 7.50 m accelerates from rest to a rate of 1.00 revolution per 8.00 s. Estimate the mer
son4ous [18]

Solution :

Given data :

Mass of the merry-go-round, m= 1640 kg

Radius of the merry-go-round, r = 7.50 m

Angular speed, $\omega = \frac{1}{8}$  rev/sec

                             $=\frac{2 \pi \times 7.5}{8}$  rad/sec

                              = 5.89 rad/sec

Therefore, force required,

$F=m.\omega^2.r$

   $$=1640 \times (5.89)^2 \times 7.5  

   = 427126.9 N

Thus, the net work done for the acceleration is given by :

W = F x r

   = 427126.9 x 7.5

   = 3,203,451.75 J
