What is true about an object in free fall?

Physics

The only force being acted upon it is gravity. A ball that was thrown downward off a building isn't in freefall, because it had initial velocity. A piece of paper can't necessarily be in free fall because it is affected by air resistance.

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

θ=19.877⁰

Explanation:

Given data

Velocity Va=34.0 km/h

Velocity Va=100 km/h

To find

Angle θ

Solution  

We want the bird to fly with velocity Vb=100 km/h with an angle θ relative to the ground so that the bird fly due south relative to the ground.From figure which is attached we got

Sinθ=(Va/Vb)

Sinθ=(34.0/100)

θ=Sin⁻¹(34.0/100)

θ=19.877⁰

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
