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

A vinyl record is played by rotating the record so that an approximately circular groove in the vinyl slides under a stylus. Bum
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Hits per second=199 hit/s

Explanation:

#Given the angular velocity, \omega=33\frac{1}{3} rev/min , radius of the record r=0.1m and the distance between any two successive bumps on the groove as d=1.75mm.

The linear speed of the record in meters per second is:

v=\omega r=33\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{2\pi}{60}\times 10\times 10^{_2}\\\\=0.3843m/s\\

#From v above, if the bumps are uniformly separated by 1m, then the rate at which they hit the stylus is:

Hits/second=v/d    \ \ \ \ d=1.75mm\\\\=0.3483/0.000175\\\\=199.0385714\approx 199

Hence the bumps hit the stylus at around 199hit/s

A box is initially sliding across a frictionless floor toward a spring which is attached to a wall. the box hits the end of the
Serjik [45]
The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by
U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2
where k is the spring's constant and x is the displacement with respect to the relaxed position of the spring.

The work done by the spring is the negative of the potential energy difference between the final and initial condition of the spring:
W=-\Delta U =  \frac{1}{2}kx_i^2 -  \frac{1}{2}kx_f^2

In our problem, initially the spring is uncompressed, so x_i=0. Therefore, the work done by the spring when it is compressed until x_f is
W=- \frac{1}{2}kx_f^2
And this value is actually negative, because the box is responsible for the spring's compression, so the work is done by the box.
