Suppose that the angular separation of two stars is 0.1 arcseconds, and you photograph them with a telescope that has an angular

resolution of 1 arcsecond. How will the stars appear in the photograph?
Physics

Answer: the photograph will likely show only one star.

Explanation:

Since their angular separation is smaller than the telescope's angular resolution, the picture will apparently show only one star rather than two.

a body of radius R and mass m is rolling horizontally without slipping with speed v. it then rolls us a hill to a maximum height
ki77a [65]

Answer:

mR²/2

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

An object of radius′

R′  and mass ′

M′  is rolling horizontally without slipping with speed ′

V′

. It then rolls up the hill to a maximum height h = 3v²/4g. The moment of inertia of the object is (g= acceleration due to gravity)

Solution

Since it rolls without slipping, there is no friction. So, its initial mechanical energy at the horizontal surface equals its final mechanical energy at the top of the hill.

Since the object is rolling initially, and on horizontal ground, it initial energy is kinetic and made up of rotational and translational kinetic energy.

So, E = K + K'

E = 1/2mv² + 1/2Iω² where m = mass of object, v = speed of object, I = moment of inertia of object and ω = angular speed of object = v/r where v = speed of object and R = radius of object.

Also, the final mechanical energy of the object, E' is its potential energy at the top of the hill. So, E' = mgh.

Since E = E',

1/2mv² + 1/2Iω² = mgh

substituting the values of ω and h into the equation, we have

1/2mv² + 1/2Iω² = mgh

1/2mv² + 1/2I(v/R)²= mg(3v²/4g)

Expanding the brackets, we have

1/2mv² + 1/2Iv²/R²= 3mv²/4

Dividing through by v², we have

1/2m + I/2R²= 3m/4

Subtracting m/2 from both sides, we have

I/2R² = 3m/4 - m/2

Simplifying, we have

I/2R² = m/4

Multiplying through by 2R², we have

I = m/4 × 2R²

I = mR²/2

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

wavelenght

Explanation:

The wavelength is the spatial period of a wave, analogous to the temporal period, it is the distance between two consecutive points with maximum amplitude that are repeated in space . In the waves of the sea, the wavelength is easily observed in the separation between two consecutive ridges.

FIGURE 2 shows a 1.5 kg block is hung by a light string which is wound around a smooth pulley of radius 20 cm. The moment of ine
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

At t = 4.2 s

Angular velocity: 6. 17 rad /s

The number of revolutions: 2.06

Explanation:

First, we consider all the forces acting on the pulley.

There is only one force acting on the pulley, and that is due to the 1.5 kg mass attached to it.

Therefore, the torque on the pulley is

\tau=Fd=mg\cdot R

where m is the mass of the block, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and R is the radius of the pulley.

Now we also know that the torque is related to angular acceleration α by

\tau=I\alpha

therefore, equating this to the above equation gives

mg\cdot R=I\alpha

solving for alpha gives

\alpha=\frac{mgR}{I}

Now putting in m = 1.5 kg, g = 9.8 m/s^2, R = 20 cm = 0.20 m, and I = 2 kg m^2 gives

\alpha=\frac{1.5\cdot9.8\cdot0.20}{2}\boxed{\alpha=1.47s^{-2}}

Now that we have the value of the angular acceleration in hand, we can use the kinematics equations for the rotational motion to find the angular velocity and the number of revolutions at t = 4.2 s.

The first kinematic equation we use is

\theta=\theta_0+\omega_0t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2

since the pulley starts from rest ω0 = 0 and theta = 0; therefore, we have

\theta=\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2

Therefore, ar t = 4.2 s, the above gives

\theta=\frac{1}{2}(1.47)(4.2)^2

\boxed{\theta=12.97}

So how many revolutions is this?

To find out we just divide by 2 pi:

\#\text{rev}=\frac{\theta}{2\pi}=\frac{12.97}{2\pi}\boxed{\#\text{rev}=2.06}

Or about 2 revolutions.

Now to find the angular velocity at t = 4.2 s, we use another rotational kinematics equation:

\omega^2=w^2_0+2\alpha(\Delta\theta)_{}

Since the pulley starts from rest, ω0 = 0. The change in angle Δθ we calculated above is 12.97. The value of alpha we already know to be 1.47; therefore, the above becomes:

\omega^2=0+2(1.47)(12.97)w^2=38.12\boxed{\omega=6.17.}

Hence, the angular velocity at t = 4.2 w is 6. 17 rad / s

To summerise:

at t = 4.2 s

Angular velocity: 6. 17 rad /s

The number of revolutions: 2.06

As an object moves from point A to point B only two forces act onit: one force is nonconservative and does -30 J of work, the ot
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

To solve this problem we will apply the principles of energy conservation. On the one hand we have that the work done by the non-conservative force is equivalent to -30J while the work done by the conservative force is 50J.

This leads to the direct conclusion that the resulting energy is 20J.

The conservative force is linked to the movement caused by the sum of the two energies, therefore there is an increase in kinetic energy. The decrease in the mechanical energy of the system is directly due to the loss given by the non-conservative force, therefore there is a decrease in mechanical energy.

Therefore the correct answer is A. Kintetic energy increases and mechanical energy decreases.
