Answer:

3 Objects that carry instruments into the stratosphere to measure atmospheric conditions

Explanation:

Weather balloons are objects that carries instruments into the stratosphere to measure atmospheric conditions.

They are very important weather measuring device that helps meteorologists in their fore casts.

These balloons are specially designed for high altitudes. They carry very sensitive devices that are very useful in collecting information about temperature, precipitation, pressure e.t.c

When we kept the Earth's mass the same, but shrank its size, we saw that had an effect on its escape speed. Albert Einstein used
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

The escape velocity is the velocity needed by any object to overcome the gravitational force of the planet on which it’s present. Now we know that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the planet and inversely proportional to the distance of the object from the center of planet.

If we keep the mass of earth constant and decrease the size of the earth than this will decrease the distance between the object and the center of the earth and thus the gravitational force that will act on the body will increase substantially which will in turn increase the value of the escape velocity.

The value of escape velocity will keep on increasing as the size of the earth will shrink till it reaches to a point when the value of escape velocity becomes more than the speed of light and since it’s impossible to travel with a speed greater than the speed of light and therefore at this point it will become impossible for a spacecraft to escape the earth.

A light wave passes through an aperture (that is, a narrow slit). When it does so, the degree to which the wave spreads out will
crimeas [40]

Explanation:

Single slit diffraction

Diffraction is the phenomenon of spreading out of waves as they pass through an aperture or around objects. Diffraction occurs when the size of the aperture or obstacle is of the same order of magnitude as the wavelength of the incident wave. For very small aperture sizes, the vast majority of the wave is blocked. in case of  large apertures the wave passes by or through the obstacle without any significant diffraction.

If you could shine a very powerful flashlight beam toward the Moon, estimate the diameter of the beam when it reaches the Moon.
grin007 [14]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the Rayleigh Criterion (Angular resolution)criterion. This conceptos describes the ability of any image-forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, or an eye, to distinguish small details of an object, thereby making it a major determinant of image resolution.  By definition is defined as:

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

Where,

\lambda= Wavelength

d = Width of the slit

\theta= Angular resolution

Through the arc length we can find the radius, which would be given according to the length and angle previously described.

The radius of the beam on the moon is

r = l\theta

Relacing \theta

r = l(\frac{1.22\lambda}{d})

r = 1.22\frac{l\lambda}{d}

Replacing with our values we have that,

r = 1.22*(\frac{(384*10^3km)(\frac{1000m}{1km})(550*10^{-9}m)}{7*10^{{-2}}})

r = 3680.91m

Therefore the diameter of the beam on the moon is

d = 2r

d = 2 * (3690.91)

d = 7361.8285m

Hence, the diameter of the beam when it reaches the moon is 7361.82m
