The equation used to calculate the weight of an object on a plant is F = ma. "F" is the force measures  in Newtons, "m" is the mass measures in grams and "a" is the acceleration that accur  due to gravity.

A ball is thrown upward. At a height of 10 meters above the ground, the ball has a potential energy of 50 joules (with the poten
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

 h = 20 m

Explanation:

given.

height, h = 10 m

Potential energy at 10 m = 50 J

Kinetic energy at 10 m = 50 J

maximum height the ball will reach, H = ?

Total energy of the system

T E = 50 J + 50 J

T E = 100 J

now,

A h = 10 m

P E = m g h

50 = m g x 10

mg = 5 ..............(1)

at the top most Point the only Potential energy will be acting on the body.

now, TE = Potential energy

 100 = m g h

5 h = 100

 h = 20 m

hence, the maximum height reached by the ball is equal to 20 m.

Using Rayleigh's criterion, calculate the diameter of an earth-based telescope that gives this resolution with 700 nm light.
pogonyaev

Complete Question

Due to blurring caused by atmospheric distortion, the best resolution that can be obtained by a normal, earth-based, visible-light telescope is about 0.3 arcsecond (there are 60 arcminutes in a degree and 60 arcseconds in an arcminute).Using Rayleigh's criterion, calculate the diameter of an earth-based telescope that gives this resolution with 700 nm light

Answer:

The diameter is  D = 0.59 \  m    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The best resolution is  \theta  =  0.3 \  arcsecond

       The  wavelength is  \lambda  =  700 \  nm =  700 *10^{-9 } \  m

       

Generally the

         1 arcminute  = >  60 arcseconds

=>      x arcminute =>   0.3 arcsecond

So

       x =  \frac{0.3}{60 }

=>    x = 0.005 \  arcminutes

Now

         60 arcminutes  =>  1 degree

          0.005 arcminutes = >  z degrees  

=>       z =  \frac{0.005}{60 }

=>      z =  8.333 *10^{-5}  \ degree

Converting to radian  

           \theta  = z =  8.333 *10^{-5}  * 0.01745 = 1.454 *10^{-6} \  radian

Generally the resolution is mathematically represented as

            \theta  =  \frac{1.22 *  \lambda  }{ D}

=>    D =  \frac{1.22 * \lambda }{\theta }

=>     D =  \frac{1.22 * 700 *10^{-9} }{ 1.454 *10^{-6} }    

=>     D = 0.59 \  m

A boy pulls a 28.0-kg box with a 230-N force at 35° above a horizontal surface. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between t
ddd [48]

Answer:

1977.696 J

Explanation:

Given;

Weight of the box = 28.0 kg

Force applied by the boy = 230 N

angle between the horizontal and the force = 35°

Therefore,

the horizontal component of the force = 230 × cosθ

= 230 × cos 35°

= 188.405 N

Coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.24

Force by friction, f = μN

here,

N = Normal force = Mass × acceleration due to gravity

or

N = 28 × 9.81 = 274.68 N

therefore,

f = 0.24 × 274.68

or

f = 65.9232 N

Now,

work done by the boy, W₁ = 188.405 N × Displacement  

= 188.405 N × 30

= 5652.15 J

and,

the

work done by the friction, W₂ = - 65.9232 N × Displacement  

= - 65.9232 N × 30 m

= - 1977.696 J

[ since the friction force acts opposite to the direction of motion, therefore the workdone will be negative]

Chromatic aberration occurs when:___.
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

b. a lens does not focus all colors of light to the same place.

Explanation:

Chromatic aberration is a defect of a lens. In this defect, the lens is unable to focus the different wavelengths of the light on a single focal point. It is also known as chromatic distortion and color fringing. It is caused by the dispersion of light while passing through a lens. As a result, the image might become blurred and different colors are observed around its edges. It can be corrected by the use of a combination of converging and diverging lenses.

Hence, the correct option will be:

<u>b. a lens does not focus all colors of light to the same place.</u>
