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.

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.

What is special about nitrogen, and what is its main function in the atmosphere
Vlad [161]
Nitrogen is the most abundant of the gases present in the atmosphere. 78 percent of the atmospheric air comprises of nitrogen, oxygen makes up for 21 percent and all other gases make up for the remaining one percent. Oxygen is a highly flammable gas and in the absence of nitrogen it would not have been possible to utilize this atmospheric oxygen, hence the presence of nitrogen reduces its flammability and also neutralizes the toxicity of other gases.

A runner is moving at a constant speed of 8.00 m/s around a circular track. If the distance from the runner to the center of the
Genrish500 [490]

Answer: Last option

2.27 m/s2

Explanation:

As the runner is running at a constant speed then the only acceleration present in the movement is the centripetal acceleration.

If we call a_c to the centripetal acceleration then, by definition

a_c =w^2r = \frac{v^2}{r}

in this case we know the speed of the runner

v =8.00\ m/s

The radius "r" will be the distance from the runner to the center of the track

r = 28.2\ m

a_c = \frac{8^2}{28.2}\ m/s^2

a_c = 2.27\ m/s^2

The answer is the last option

I need help answering 30A and B. Help a guy out?
dmitriy555 [2]

Uh so I'm no master at this subject, but all stuffs accelerate at 9.8 m/s squared. So you multiply the 9.8 and the 0.20 it's given for reasons unknown other than that's what I see in my notes... and that gives you 1.96 m/s squared.

As for B, I have no idea. I think you may multiply the 1.96 by 4. Tell me your thoughts and maybe we can work it out together

Classify the following elements as alkine, alkine-earth, or transition metals based on their position on the periodic table
azamat

Explanation:

Iron                              transition metal

Potassium                   Alkaline metal

Strontium                    Alkaline earth metal

Platinum                      transition metal

The periodic table arranges elements based on their atomic numbers into periods and groups. Atomic number is the number of protons an atom contains.

On the periodic table:

 Group IA    is called Alkaline metal

Group IIA    is the Alkaline earth metals

 Group IIIA     Boron family elements

 Group VIIA    Halogens

 Group O     Noble gases or inert gases.

 Group IIIB to IIB   Transition elements.

Running a check of the given elements on the periodic table will confirm answer.
