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

4.6 j more. To get this take 7 and multiply it by 3.5 to get 24.5 take the x which is what you’re looking for and multiply it by the 2.1 to get 2.1x. Take 24.5 and divide it by 2.1 x and get 11.6. Subtract 11.6 by 7 and get 4.6

A 500 W hair dyer is used to dry hair for 6 minutes a day for 3 days. How much energy is used? A laptop uses 75 W. The cot of el
zzz [600]

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

We will solve this problem by calculating each part separately.

A 500 W hair dyer is used to dry hair for 6 minutes a day for 3 days.

Energy can be calculated by multiplying the value of the power of the equipment by the amount of time of use.

500 [W]*[\frac{6min}{1day} ]*[\frac{1day}{24hr} ]*[\frac{1hr}{60min} ]=2.083 [W]

The cots of electricity is 5.6 cents per kWh. How much would it cost to operate the laptop for 24 hours a day for one week?

We know that the power of the latop is 75 [W], then we can calculate the cost, multiplying the value of the power by the value of the cost by the time of use of the computer.

0.075[kW]*5.6[\frac{cents}{kw*h}}]*[\frac{24hr}{1day}]*[1week]*[\frac{7days}{1week} ]=70.56 [cents]

A toaster oven is 85% efficient. It uses 1200 J of energy. How much thermal energy is it producing?

Efficiency is defined as the relationship between the energy obtained on the energy delivered. Almost always the energy delivered is greater than the energy obtained (first law of thermodynamics).

Therefore.

Effic = E_{obtained}/E_{delivered}\\0.85=E_{obtained}/1200\\E_{obtained}=1020[J]

Define the term dimension<br>​
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Q1. A measurable extent of a particular kind, such as length, breadth, depth, or height.

Q2. A dimensional constant is a physical quantity that has dimensions and has a fixed value. Some of the examples of the dimensional constant are Planck's constant, gravitational constant, and so on.

Q3. Physical quantities which posses dimensions and have variable are called dimensional variables. Examples are length, velocity, and acceleration etc.

Q4. Dimensionless variables are the quantities which doesn't have any dimensions the the value is a variable. Eg: angle = arc/ radius. Dimensions = L/L. = 1. So angle does not have any dimensions and the value can vary.

Q5. Principle of Homogeneity states that dimensions of each of the terms of a dimensional equation on both sides should be the same. This principle is helpful because it helps us convert the units from one form to another.

Q6. Dimensional analysis has been around a long time, Newton called it the "Great principle of Similitude", but the modern form can be traced back to James Clerk Maxwell. It was Maxwell who distinguished mass [A/], length [£], and time [7"] as the independent dimensions from which others could be derived.

Q7. Mass, length, time, temperature, electric current, amount of light, and amount of matter.

Q8. Dimensional analysis is used to convert the value of a physical quantity from one system of units to another system of units. Dimensional analysis is used to represent the nature of physical quantity. The expressions of dimensions can be manipulated as algebraic quantities.

Hope that helps. x
