The pupil of an eagle’s eye has a diameter of 6.0 mm. Two field mice are separated by 0.010 m. From a distance of 185 m, the eag

le sees them as one unresolved object and dives toward them at a speed of 16 m/s. Assume that the eagle’s eye detects light that has a wavelength of 550 nm in vacuum. How much time passes until the eagle sees the mice as separate objects?

Answer:

time is 5.973826 sec

Explanation:

Given data

diameter D =  6.0 mm  6× 10^{-3} m

separated d =  0.010 m

distance (dis) 185 m

speed s = 16 m/s

wavelength = 550 nm = 550  10^{-9} m

to find out

How much time passes

solution

we know that for resolution  we use Rayleigh's Criterion i.e

θ = 1.22 wavelength  / diameter  =  separated / distance 1

we calculate distance 1 by put value wavelength, diameter and   separated

distance 1  = diameter × separated / 1.22 wavelength

distance 1  = 6× 10^{-3} × 0.010   / 1.22 × 550 × 10^{-9}

distance 1 = 89.418778

so time will be i.e = distance (dis) - distance 1  / speed

time = ( 185 -  89.418778) / 16

time = 5.973826 sec

time is 5.973826 sec

An automobile engine delivers 55.0 hp. How much time will it take for the engine to do 6.22 × 105 J of work? One horsepower is e
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

15.2 s

Explanation:

Convert hp to W:

55.0 hp × 746 W/hp = 41,030 W

Power = energy / time

41030 W = 6.22×10⁵ J / t

t = 15.2 s

Change the following data into scientific notation.<br><br> 5 000 000 km
RoseWind [281]
To find out scientific notation, you want to make sure that number is less than 10. So do 5.000000, you don't rally need the zeros but I just want to make my point. So use 10^x meaning ten the whatever power adds zeros like 5.000000x10^6 meaning it is increasing it by six zeros moving it out of the decimals and letting become 5,000,000.

The gas pressure inside a container decreases when
avanturin [10]

Answer:

When the volume increases or when the temperature decreases

Explanation:

The ideal gas equation states that:

pV= nRT

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles of gas

R is the gas constant

T is the gas temperature

Assuming that we have a fixed amount of gas, so n is constant, we can rewrite the equation as

\frac{pV}{T}=const.

which means the following:

- Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume: this means that the pressure decreases when the volume increases

- Pressure is directly proportional to the temperature: this means that the pressure decreases when the temperature decreases

A wire is stretched between two posts. Another wire is stretched between two posts that are twice as far apart. The tension in t
Margarita [4]

Answer: 996m/s

Explanation:

Formula for calculating velocity of wave in a stretched string is

V = √T/M where;

V is the velocity of wave

T is tension

M is the mass per unit length of the wire(m/L)

Since the second wire is twice as far apart as the first, it will be L2 = 2L1

Let V1 and V2 be the speed of the shorter and longer wire respectively

V1 = √T/M1... 1

V2 = √T/M2... 2

Since V1 = 249m/s, M1 = m/L1 M2 = m/L2 = m/2L1

The equations will now become

249 = √T/(m/L1) ... 3

V2 = √T/(m/2L1)... 4

From 3,

249² = TL1/m...5

From 4,

V2²= 2TL1/m... 6

Dividing equation 5 by 6 we have;

249²/V2² = TL1/m×m/2TL1

{249/V2}² = 1/2

249/V2 = (1/2)²

249/V2 = 1/4

V2 = 249×4

V2 = 996m/s

Therefore the speed of the wave on the longer wire is 996m/s

You carry a 20 n bag of dog food up a 6 m flight of stairs. how much work was done?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

No work was done because it is not hard to carry a ####### bag of dog food up the stairs.

Explanation:

The FitnessGram Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible.
