Answer: the minimum spacing that must be there between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope 6.45 cm
Explanation:
Given that;
diameter of the mirror d = 1.7 m
height h = 180 km = 180 × 10³ m
wavelength λ = 500 nm = 5 × 10⁻⁹ m
Now Angular separation from the peak of the central maximum is expressed as;
sin∅= 1.22 λ / d
sin∅ = (1.22 × 5 × 10⁻⁹) / 1.7
sin∅ = 3.588 × 10⁻⁷
we know that;
sin∅ = object separation / distance from telescope
object separation =
sin∅ × distance from telescope
object separation = 3.588 × 10⁻⁷ × 180 × 10³
object separation =6.45 × 10⁻² m
then we convert to centimeter
object separation = 6.45 cm
Therefore the minimum spacing that must be there between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope 6.45 cm
Explanation:
It is given that The Moon's center is 3.9x10⁸ m from Earth's center. The moon 1.5x10⁸ km from the Sun's center. We need to find the ratio of the gravitational forces exerted by Earth and the Sun on the Moon.
The gravitational force is given by :
It means 
So,
r₁ = 3.9x10⁸ km
r₂= 1.5x10⁸ km
So,
Hence, the ratio of the gravitational forces exerted by Earth and the Sun on the Moon is 5:13.
The answer is either C or D..
For a wave is described by y=0.0200 sin (kx - ωt) , where , ω = 3.62 rad/s, x and y are in meters, and t is in seconds, the wavelength = 2.978
<h3>How to solve for the wavelength</h3>
What is wave speed?
This is used to refer to the speed at which a wave is moving. It is the product of frequency and wave number
Given data
y=0.0200 sin (kx - ωt)
ω = 3.62 rad/s
y are in meters
t is in seconds
k = 2.11 rad/m
k = wavenumber = 2 * pi / wavelength
wavelength = 2 * pi / wavenumber
wavelength = 2 * pi / 2.11
wavelength = 2.978
