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

The main purpose of an air bag is to stop a passenger during a car accident in a greater amount of time than if the air bag were
Simora [160]

Answer:

a) 45571 N  

b) 22786 N

c) 4557 N

Explanation:

  • Since the goal of the airbag is helping the person to stop after the collision in a greater time, this means that the change in momentum must finish when this is just zero.
  • In other words, the change in momentum, must be equal to the initial one, but with opposite sign.

       \Delta p = - p_{o} = -m*v = -55 kg*29m/s = -1595 kgm/s (1)

  • Now, just applying the original form of  Newton's 2nd Law, we know that this change in momentum must be equal to the impulse needed to stop the person:

       \Delta p = F* \Delta t  (2)

  • So, as we know the magnitude of Δp from (1) and we have different Δt as givens, we can get the different values of F (in magnitude) required to stop the person for each one of them, as follows:

       F_{1} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t_{1}} = \frac{1595kgm/s}{0.035s} = 45571 N (3)

       F_{2} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t_{2}} = \frac{1595kgm/s}{0.07s} = 22786 N (4)

       F_{3} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t_{3}} = \frac{1595kgm/s}{0.35s} = 4557 N (5)

Which formula describes Newton’s second law of motion?
Allushta [10]
Newton's second law of motion pertains to the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are not balanced. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.

A car battery has a rating of 250 ampere-hours. This rating is one indication of the total charge that the battery can provide t
Serga [27]

Answer:

Total charge provided by the battery could be 900000 C.

Maximum current provided by the battery for 37 minutes could be 405.405 A

Explanation:

Rating= 250 A-h

a. Total charge:

Rating=Q/t\\Q=Rating.t\\

Suppose t=1h

Q=250 A(1h)\\Q=250 A(3600 sec)\\Q= 900000 A.sec

We konw that Ampere=\frac{Coulomb}{sec}, replacing:

Q=900000(\frac{Coulomb}{sec})(sec)\\Q=900000 Coulomb

Total charge provided by the battery could be 900000 C.

b. Maximum current for 37 minutes

I=\frac{Q}{t} \\I=\frac{900000 C}{37*60 sec}\\I=405.405 A

Maximum current provided by the battery for 37 minutes could be 405.405 A

Find an equation in x and y for the line tangent to the curve ()=4,()=cos() at the point where =4.
m_a_m_a [10]

An equation in x and y for the line tangent to the curve ()=4,()=cos() at the point where =4 is x(t)=2t+2,y(t)=t^4.

<h3>What is tangent?</h3>

In calculation, the digression line to a plane bend at a given point is the straight line that "simply contacts" the bend by then. Leibniz characterized it as the line through a couple of boundlessly close focuses on the bend. The chart of digression is intermittent, implying that it rehashes the same thing endlessly. In contrast to sine and cosine in any case, digression has asymptotes isolating every one of its periods. The space of the digression capability is all genuine numbers with the exception of at whatever point cos⁡(θ)=0, where the digression capability is vague. Assuming they stroll in an orderly fashion, they are fundamentally following a digression way for the shape that is made inside the fencing.
