Answer:

Maximum altitude to see(L) =  1.47 × 10⁶ m (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

wavelength (λ) = 0.12 nm = 0.12 × 10⁻⁹ m

Pupil Diameter (d) = 4.1 mm = 4 × 10⁻³ m

Separation distance (D) = 5.4 cm = 0.054 m

Find:

Maximum altitude to see(L)

Computation:

Resolving power = 1.22(λ / d)

D / L = 1.22(λ / d)

0.054 / L = 1.22 [(0.12 × 10⁻⁹) / (4 × 10⁻³ m)]

0.054 / L = 1.22 [0.03 × 10⁻⁶]

L = 0.054 / 1.22 [0.03 × 10⁻⁶]

L = 0.054 / [0.0366 × 10⁻⁶]

L = 1.47 × 10⁶

Maximum altitude to see(L) =  1.47 × 10⁶ m (Approx)

Calculate curls of the following vector functions (a) AG) 4x3 - 2x2-yy + xz2 2
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The curl is 0 \hat x -z^2 \hat y -4xy \hat z

Explanation:

Given the vector function

\vec A (\vec r) =4x^3 \hat{x}-2x^2y \hat y+xz^2 \hat z

We can calculate the curl using the definition

\nabla \times \vec A (\vec r ) = \left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat x&\hat y&\hat z\\\partial/\partial x&\partial/\partial y&\partial/\partial z\\A_x&X_y&A_z\end{array}\right|

Thus for the exercise we will have

\nabla \times \vec A (\vec r ) = \left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat x&\hat y&\hat z\\\partial/\partial x&\partial/\partial y&\partial/\partial z\\4x^3&-2x^2y&xz^2\end{array}\right|

So we will get

\nabla  \times \vec A (\vec r )= \left( \cfrac{\partial}{\partial y}(xz^2)-\cfrac{\partial}{\partial z}(-2x^2y)\right) \hat x - \left(\cfrac{\partial}{\partial x}(xz^2)-\cfrac{\partial}{\partial z}(4x^3) \right) \hat y + \left(\cfrac{\partial}{\partial x}(-2x^2y)-\cfrac{\partial}{\partial y}(4x^3) \right) \hat z

Working with the partial derivatives we get the curl

\nabla  \times \vec A (\vec r )=0 \hat x -z^2 \hat y -4xy \hat z

Define speed and what is it’s SI unit.
Nadusha1986 [10]
Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. ... Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is the metre per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometre per hour or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour........?

A sled with no initial velocity accelerates at a rate of 3.2 m/s2 down a hill. How long does it take the sled to go 15 m to the
grin007 [14]
S = ut + 1/2 at^2
a = 3.2 m/s^2
s = 15m
Find t
15 = 1/2(3.2)t^2
15 = 3.2t^2/2
30 = 3.2t^2
30/ 3.2 = 9.38
Square root of 9.38 = 3.06
It takes 3.06 seconds
