Answer:

$\Delta GPE = mg\Delta h$

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its location in the gravitational field.

This energy is always measured as a difference with respect a "zero level" - generally taken as the ground level.

Therefore, it generally makes more sense to measure the change in gravitational potential energy of an object when its height is changed; this is given by:

$\Delta GPE = mg\Delta h$

where:

m is the mass of the object

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

$\Delta h$ is the change in height of the object

Answer:

14869817.395 m

Explanation:

$\theta$ =22 microarcsecond

λ = Wavelength = 1.3 mm

Converting to radians we get

$22\times 10^{-6}\frac{\pi}{180\times 3600}\ radians$

From Rayleigh Criterion

$\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{\lambda}{\theta}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{1.3\times 10^{-3}}{22\times 10^{-6}\frac{\pi}{180\times 3600}}\\\Rightarrow D=14869817.395\ m$

Diameter of the effective primary objective is 14869817.395 m

It is not possible to build one telescope with a diameter of 14869817.395 m. But, we need this type of telescope. So, astronomers use an array of radio telescopes to achieve a virtual diameter in order to observe objects that are the size of supermassive black hole's event horizon.
