Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.

This problem could be solved using this equation:

Diffraction limit = 1.22*wavelength/diameter

diameter = 0.8 cm = 0.008 m
wavelength = 500E-9 m

Diffraction limit = 1.22(500E-9)/0.008
Diffraction limit = 0.00007625

A force acting on a body causes a change in the momentum of the from 12 kgms-1 to 16 kgms-1 in 0.2 s. calculate the magnitude of
Nonamiya [84]

Answer: Impulse = 4 kgm/s

Explanation:

From the question, you're given the following parameters:

Momentum P1 = 12 kgm/s

Momentum P2 = 16 kgm/s

Time t = 0.2 s

According to second law of motion,

Force F = change in momentum ÷ time

That is

F = (P2 - P1)/t

Cross multiply

Ft = P2 - P1

Where Ft = impulse

Substitute P1 and P2 into the formula

Impulse = 16 - 12 = 4 kgm/s

The magnitude of the impulse is therefore 4 kgm/s.

How do the tension of the cord and the force of gravity affect a pendulum?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

<em>Force of gravity may not affect a pendulum during its equilibrium state</em>. But  the gravity can affect the pendulum when a force occurs in any direction of the bob connected to the cord that makes a swing sideways. The gravity of pendulum never stops, it always accelerates. So the gravity affects the pendulum acceleration and speed.    

<em>Similarly the tension in the cord will not affect the pendulum</em><em> </em>but if change in the length of the pendulum while keeping other factors constant changes the length of the period of pendulum. longer pendulum swings with lower frequency than shorter pendulums.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Usually, the relationship between mass and weight on Earth is highly proportional; objects that are a hundred times more massive than a one-liter bottle of soda almost always weigh a hundred times more—approximately 1,000 newtons, which is the weight one would expect on Earth from an object with a mass slightly greater ...

If the net torque is zero, what does this imply about the clockwise and counterclockwise torques.
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Explanation:

When two forces acting on a line of action and they are equal in magnitude but opposite it direction, it forms a couple.

Torque is defined as the product of either force and the perpendicular distance between the two forces.

It is a vector quantity.

The net torque is zero, it means the anticlockwise torque is equal to the clockwise torque.

It means they balances each other.
