The Earth and Moon are separated by about 4.0 10^6 m. Suppose Mars is [{MathJax fullWidth='false' 2.9 \times 10^{11} }] m from E

arth and forms a right triangle with Earth and the Moon. Assume a pupil diameter of 6 mm and the wavelength is 550 nm. Determine the following. a. angular separation of Earth and Moon as seen from Mars b. angular resolution of the eye c. Could a person standing on Mars resolve the Earth and its Moon as two separate objects without a telescope?

Answer:

a) α=7.9x10^-4 rad

b) θ=1.12x10^-4 rad

c) The Earth and the Moon cannot be seen without a telescope.

Explanation:

In this exercise we will use the concepts of angular resolution, which depends on both the wavelength of the rays and the diameter of the eye or lens on the meter. Its unit of measure is the radian. The attached image shows the solution step by step.

Define stress engineering science​
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Stress, in physical sciences and engineering, force per unit area within materials that arises from externally applied forces, uneven heating, or permanent deformation and that permits an accurate description and prediction of elastic, plastic, and fluid behaviour.

A ball with a mass of 0.25 kg hits a gym ceiling with a force of 78.0 n. what happens next?
QveST [7]
<span>a. The ball accelerates downward with a force of 80.5 N. This is a rather badly worded question since the answer depends upon whether or not the impact with the gym ceiling was elastic or non-elastic. With an elastic collision, the ball will accelerate downward with it's original force plus the acceleration due to gravity. With a non-elastic collision (the energy in the ball being used to damage the ceiling of the gym), then the initial energy the ball has would be expended while causing damage to the gym ceiling and then the ball would accelerate downward solely due to the force of gravity. In either case, we need to take into consideration the force of gravity. So multiply the mass of the ball by the gravitational acceleration, giving F = 0.25 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 2.45 kg*m/s^2 = 2.45 N Since the initial force is 78.0 newtons, let's add them 78.0 N + 2.45 N = 80.45 N and after rounding to 3 figures, gives 80.5 N So we have a possible answer of 2.45N or 80.5N depending upon if the collision is elastic or not. And unfortunately, both possible answers are available. Since no mention of the ceiling being damaged is made in the question, and to be honest a 100% non-elastic collision is highly unlikely, I will assume the collision is elastic, so the answer is "a".</span>
