Answer:

The maximum wavelength is 492 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular separation \theta=3.0\times10^{-5}\ rad

Suppose a telescope with a small circular aperture of diameter 2.0 cm.

We need to calculate the maximum wavelength

Using formula of angular separation

\sin\theta=\dfrac{1.22\lambda}{d}

\lambda=\dfrac{d\sin\theta}{1.22}

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{2.0\times\sin(3\times10^{-5})}{1.22}

For small angle \sin\theta\approx\theta

\lambda=\dfrac{0.02\times3\times10^{-5}}{1.22}

\lambda=4.92\times10^{-7}\ m

\lambda=492\ nm

Hence, The maximum wavelength is 492 nm.

37. Which body exerts the strongest gravitational force on you?
PolarNik [594]

The gravitational force of sun is the strongest because sun has the largest mass and acceleration due to gravity of about 275 m/s².

According to Newton's second law of motion, the gravitational force exerted by each planet or object is directly proportional to acceleration due to gravity and the mass of the object or planet.

The magnitude of the gravitational force is calculated as;

F = mg

where;

  • <em>m is the mass of the object</em>
  • <em>g is the acceleration due to gravity</em>

Therefore, the gravitational force of sun is the strongest because sun has the largest mass and acceleration due to gravity of about 275 m/s².

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

Using the principle of conservation of energy, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, assuming any losses.

Kinetic energy is given by ½mv²

Potential energy is given by mgh

Where m is the mass, v is the velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.

Equating kinetic energy to be equal to potential energy then

½mv²=mgh

V

Making v the subject of the formula

v=√(2gh)

Substituting 9.81 m/s² for g and 10 m for h then

v=√(2*9.81*10)=14.0071410359145 m/s

Rounding off, v is approximately 14 m/s
