Apply Newton's second law to the person's motion:

F = ma

F = net force, m = mass, a = acceleration

Given values:

m = 50.8kg, a = 3.50m/s²

Plug in and solve for F:

F = 50.8(3.50)

F = 178N

Which BEST describes the physical properties of the Earth’s core?

Sonja [21]

C) a solid lower part and a liquid upper part

Explanation:

The physical nature of the earth's core is made up of a solid lower part and a liquid upper part.

The core is the innermost part of the earth and it is made up of metallic minerals.

It has the highest temperature and pressure of all the layers of the earth.
The core is divided into two. Outer and inner core.
Outer core is made up of molten metallic minerals. It is the layer where the earth geomagnetic field originates.
The inner core is solid metallic ball.
Evidence from seismic waves has furnished geoscientists with this knowledge.

Two light bulbs are 2.0 m apart. From what distance can these light bulbs be marginally resolved by a small telescope with a 4.5

andrezito [222]

Answer:

R = 1.2295 10⁵ m

Explanation:

After reading your problem they give us the diameter of the lens d = 4.50 cm = 0.0450 m, therefore if we use the Rayleigh criterion for the resolution in the diffraction phenomenon, we have that the minimum separation occurs in the first minimum of diffraction of one of the bodies m = 1 coincides with the central maximum of the other body

θ = 1.22 λ / D

where the constant 1.22 leaves the resolution in polar coordinates and D is the lens aperture

how angles are measured in radians

θ = y / R

where y is the separation of the two bodies (bulbs) y = 2 m and R the distance from the bulbs to the lens

$\frac{y}{R} = 1.22 \frac{ \lambda}{D}$
