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 block of weight 1200N is on an incline plane of 30° with the horizontal, a force P is applied to the body parallel to the plan
pshichka [43]

Answer:

a)  P = 807.85 N,  b)  P = 392.15 N,  c)  P = 444.12 N

Explanation:

For this exercise, let's use Newton's second law, let's set a reference frame with the x-axis parallel to the plane and the direction rising as positive, and the y-axis perpendicular to the plane.

Let's use trigonometry to break down the weight

         sin θ = Wₓ / W

         cos θ = W_y / W

         Wₓ = W sin θ

         W_y = W cos θ

         Wₓ = 1200 sin 30 = 600 N

          W_y = 1200 cos 30 = 1039.23 N

Y axis  

      N- W_y = 0

      N = W_y = 1039.23 N

Remember that the friction force always opposes the movement

a) in this case, the system will begin to move upwards, which is why friction is static

       P -Wₓ -fr = 0

       P = Wₓ + fr

as the system is moving the friction coefficient is dynamic

      fr = μ N

      fr = 0.20 1039.23

      fr = 207.85 N

we substitute

       P = 600+ 207.85

       P = 807.85 N

b) to avoid downward movement implies that the system is stopped, therefore the friction coefficient is static

        P + fr -Wx = 0

       fr = μ N

       fr = 0.20 1039.23

        fr = 207.85 N

we substitute

        P =  Wₓ -fr

        P = 600 - 207,846

        P = 392.15 N

c) as the movement is continuous, the friction coefficient is dynamic

         P - Wₓ + fr = 0

         P = Wₓ - fr

         fr = 0.15 1039.23

         fr = 155.88 N

         P = 600 - 155.88

         P = 444.12 N

An object moves in a circle at a constant speed of 1.0 m/s. The radius of the circle is 1.0 m. If a force of 1.0 N acts toward t
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:5

Explanation:

Given

speed of object v=1\ m/s

radius of circle r=1\ m

Force towards the center F=1\ N

Work done is given by the dot product of Force and displacement

and we know know displacement of the object is along the circle which is perpendicular to the force acting therefore Work done will be zero

W=F\cdot s\cos 90

W=0
