You are using a small telescope to view two closely spaced light bulbs located a mile away. Each light bulb is emitting blue lig

ht. At this distance, the light bulbs are still too close together for you to distinguish them as separate bulbs. If they were emitting red light instead, would you have a better or worse chance of distinguishing them as separate bulbs?

Answer:

Explanation:

The problem is based on resolving power of instruments . Resolving power of instruments is related to wavelength of light as follows

resolving power of telescope ∝  1 / λ

Higher the resolving power closer the object that can be looked separately.

Wave length of blue light is shorter than that of red light so resolving power in case of blue light will be higher. So we have better chance of distinguishing separate bulbs when color light is blue.

a 40 kilogramstudent runs up a staircase to a floor that is 5.0 meters higher than her starting point in 7.0 seconds. the studen
Wittaler [7]

When she reaches the top, she has more potential energy than she had at the bottom.

         Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

                                     = (40 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m)

                                     =    1,960 more joules .

         Power = (energy) / (time)

                     = (1,960 joules) / (7 seconds)

                     =         280 watts

                    (about 0.375 horsepower)

Two gliders collide on a frictionless air track that is aligned along the x axis. Glider A has an initial velocity of +4.0 m/s a
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

As collision is elastic,thus we can use conservation of momentum equation

mA=0.2 kg

(vB)1=0 m/s.......................as it is on rest before collision

(vA)1=4 m/s

(vA)2=-1 m/s

(vB)2=2 m/s

using equation

(mA*vA+mB*vB)1= (mA*vA+mB*vB)2

Where 1 and 2 represents before and after collision

(0.2*4)+(mB*0)=(0.2*-1)+(mB*2)

0.8=-0.2+(2mB)

mass of object B=mB=0.3 Kg
