Answer:

minimum angular separation between two objects is; θ = 4.829 x 10^(-8) rad

Explanation:

The minimum angle for resolving two adjacent point objects is proportional to the wavelength of the light and is inversely proportional to the diameter of the aperture and it's given by the formula;

θ = 1.22λ/D

Where;

θ is the resolved angle

λ is the wavelength

D is the diameter of the optics

We are given;

λ = 95nm = 95 x 10^(-9)m

D = 2.4m

Thus ;

θ = (1.22(95 x 10^(-9))/2.4

θ = 4.829 rad

Thus, minimum angular separation between two objects is; θ = 4.829 x 10^(-8) rad

A crash test dummy is inside a test car moving at 55 km/h. How fast is the dummy moving relative to the seat he is sitting in?
kvasek [131]

The dummy is moving with a speed 0 km/h relative to the seat in which it is sitting.

If the relative speed was non-zero, the dummy would move away from its seat, which contradicts the problem formulation.

A vertical spring has a mass hanging from it, which is displaced from the equilibrium position and begins to oscillate. At what
Orlov [11]

Answer:

the object has least potential energy at mean position of the SHM

Explanation:

If a block is connected with a spring and there is no resistive force on the system

In this case the total energy of the system is always conserved and it will change from one form to another form

So here we will say that

Kinetic energy + Potential energy = Total Mechanical energy

As we can say that total energy is conserved so here we have least potential energy when the system has maximum kinetic energy

So here we also know that at mean position of the SHM the system has maximum speed and hence maximum kinetic energy.

So the object has least potential energy at mean position of the SHM

barxatty [35]

Answer:

2.2 meters

Explanation:

Potential energy, PE created by a charge, q at a radius r from the charge source, Q,  is expressed as:

KE=\frac{kQq}{r}\     \ \ \ \ \ \ ...i

k is Coulomb's constant.

#The electric field,E at radius r is expressed as:

E=\frac{kQ}{r^2}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...ii

From i and ii, we have:

KE=Eqr

r=(KE)/Eq

#Substitute actual values in our equation:

r=\frac{75J}{(7.2\times 10^{-5}C)(4.8\times 10^5 V/m)}\\\\=2.1701\approx2.2\ m

Hence, the distance between the charge and the source of the electric field is 2.2 meters
