Answer:
Option d
The minimum angular separation between two objects that the Hubble Space Telescope can resolve is
.
Explanation:
The resulting image in a telescope that will be gotten from an object is a diffraction pattern instead of a perfect point (point spread function (PSF)).
That diffraction pattern is gotten because the light encounters different obstacles on its path inside the telescope (interacts with the walls and edges of the instrument).
The diffraction pattern is composed by a central disk, called Airy disk, and diffraction rings.
The angular resolution is defined as the minimal separation at which two sources can be resolved one for another, or in other words, when the distance between the two diffraction pattern maxima is greater than the radius of the Airy disk.
The angular resolution can be determined in analytical way by means of the Rayleigh criterion.
(1)
Where
is the wavelength and D is the diameter of the telescope.
Notice that it is necessary to express the wavelength in the same units than the diameter.
⇒
Finally, equation 1 can be used.
Hence, the minimum angular separation between two objects that the Hubble Space Telescope can resolve is
.
Explanation:
In geology, there are 5 divisions of time on the time scale. They are:
- eons
- eras
- periods
- epochs
- ages
Eons are the largest time period, while ages are the shortest time period. The rest of the above listed are in between the two.
We need to charge a metal sphere positively without touching it. This can be achieved using electrostatic induction.
In order to have a period that matches the Earth's rotation, a satellite must be in a circular orbit, and 42,164 km from the center of the Earth.
But that's not quite enough to make sure that it always stays over the same point on the Earth's surface (and appears motionless in the sky). For that to happen, the satellite's orbit has to be directly over the Equator.
The Moon has nothing to do with any of this.
To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conversion of units for which we will have that 1 slug is equal to 14.59kg. At the same time we will use Newton's second law for which weight is defined as the product between mass and acceleration (Due to gravity). This is then
A: Using the conversion ratio of slug to kilogram we have to,

Then


B: Using Newton's second law we have to,
