A series of optical telescopes produced an image that has a resolution of about 0.00350 arc second.

Physics

Mila [183]3 years ago

Answer:

The smallest diameter is D =122 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The resolution of the telescope is \theta  =  0.00350 \ arc \ second

           The wavelength is  \lambda = 1.70 \mu m = 1.70 *10^{-6} \ m

From the question we are told that

        1 arc \ sec = \frac{1}{3600^o}

So      0.00350 \ arc \ second = x

Therefore

             x =  0.00350  *  \frac{1}{3600 }

              x = ( 9.722*10^{-7} )^o

Now  1^o  =  \frac{\pi}{180}

   So  (9.722*10^{-7})^o =  \theta

  =>    \theta  =  (9.722*10^{-7}) * \frac{\pi}{180}

           \theta  =  1.69*10^{-8} rad

The smallest diameter is mathematically represented  as

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

substituting values

           D = \frac{1.22 * 1.7 *10^{-6}} {1.69 *10^{-8}  }

           D =122 \ m

1. An 800-gram bowling ball is rolling in a straight line toward you. If its momentum is 16 kg•m/sec, how fast is it traveling?
ziro4ka [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

The ball is rolling at a speed of 0.02 meter per second.

<u>Step by step explanation:</u>

We are given that there is a 800 gram bowling ball rolling in a straight line. If its momentum is given to be 16 kg.m/sec, we are to find its velocity.

For this, we will use the formula of momentum.

<em>Momentum = mass × velocity</em>

16 = 800 × velocity

Velocity = 16/800 = 0.02 meter per second

In this circuit the battery provides 3 V, the resistance R1 is 7 Ω, and R2 is 5 Ω. What is the current through resistor R2? Give
sveta [45]

Answer:

The current pass the R_2 is  I  = 0.25 A

Explanation:

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image  

From the question we are told that

    The voltage  is  V =  3V

     The first resistance is  R_1 = 7 \Omega

     The second resistance is  R_2 = 5 \Omega

Since the resistors are connected in series their equivalent resistance is  

       R_{eq} =  R_1 +R_2

Substituting values

         R_{eq} = 7 + 5

         R_{eq} = 12 \Omega

Since the resistance are connected in serie the current passing through the circuit  is the same current passing through R_2 which is mathematically evaluated as

        I  =  \frac{V}{R_{eq}}

Substituting values  

      I  =  \frac{3}{12}

      I  = 0.25 A

The answer and how to do it?? Thanks
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

14 m/s²

Explanation:

Start with Newton's 2nd law: Fnet=ma, with F being force, m being mass, and a being acceleration. The applied forces on the left and right side of the block are equivalent, so they cancel out and are negligible. That way, you only have to worry about the y direction. Don't forget the force that gravity has the object. It appears to me that the object is falling, so there would be an additional force from going down from weight of the object. Weight is gravity (can be rounded to 10) x mass. Substitute 4N+weight in for Fnet and 1kg in for m.

(4N + 10 x 1kg)=(1kg)a

14/1=14, so the acceleration is 14 m/s²
