Post-Impressionist Georges Seurat is famous for a painting technique known as pointillism. His paintings are made up of differen

t-colored dots, and each dot is roughly 2 mm in diameter. When viewed from far enough away, the dots blend together and only large-scale images are seen. Assuming that the human pupil is about 2.9 mm in diameter, determine an approximate minimum distance you need to stand from one of Seurat's paintings to see the dots blended together. (Assume two dots touch, such that their center-to-center distance is equal to one diameter. Also assume light with a wavelength of 563 nm.)

Answer:

84 cm

Explanation:

The resolving power of the eye = 1.22 λ / D where λ is wavelength of light and D is diameter of the eye .

Putting the values in the formula

The resolving power of the eye = 1.22 λ / 2.9 x 10⁻³

Let the minimum distance you need to stand from one of Seurat's paintings to see the dots blended together  be D .

d = distance between two dots = diameter of dot = 2 x 10⁻³ m .

Given ,

λ D / d =  1.22 λ / 2.9 x 10⁻³

D /2 x 10⁻³   =  1.22  / 2.9 x 10⁻³

D = 2 x 1.22 / 2.9 m

= .84 m

= 84 cm .

minimum distance you need to stand from one of Seurat's paintings to see the dots blended together is 84 cm .

A block of mass m1 = 3.5 kg moves with velocity v1 = 6.3 m/s on a frictionless surface. it collides with block of mass m2 = 1.7
maxonik [38]
First, let's find the speed v_i of the two blocks m1 and m2 sticked together after the collision.
We can use the conservation of momentum to solve this part. Initially, block 2 is stationary, so only block 1 has momentum different from zero, and it is:
p_i = m_1 v_1
After the collision, the two blocks stick together and so now they have mass m_1 +m_2 and they are moving with speed v_i:
p_f = (m_1 + m_2)v_i
For conservation of momentum
p_i=p_f
So we can write
m_1 v_1 = (m_1 +m_2)v_i
From which we find
v_i =  \frac{m_1 v_1}{m_1+m_2}= \frac{(3.5 kg)(6.3 m/s)}{3.5 kg+1.7 kg}=4.2 m/s

The two blocks enter the rough path with this velocity, then they are decelerated because of the frictional force \mu (m_1+m_2)g. The work done by the frictional force to stop the two blocks is
\mu (m_1+m_2)g  d
where d is the distance covered by the two blocks before stopping.
The initial kinetic energy of the two blocks together, just before entering the rough path, is
\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2
When the two blocks stop, all this kinetic energy is lost, because their velocity becomes zero; for the work-energy theorem, the loss in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the frictional force:
\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2 =\mu (m_1+m_2)g  d
From which we can find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction:
\mu =  \frac{v_i^2}{2gd}= \frac{(4.2 m/s)^2}{2(9.81 m/s^2)(1.85 m)}=0.49

A 1-kg rock is suspended from the tip of a horizontal meterstick at the 0-cm mark so that the meterstick barely balances like a
tigry1 [53]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass if the rock, m = 1 kg

It is  suspended from the tip of a horizontal meter stick at the 0-cm mark so that the meter stick barely balances like a seesaw when its fulcrum is at the 12.5-cm mark.

We need to find the mass of the meter stick. The force acting by the stone is

F = 1 × 9.8 = 9.8 N

Let W be the weight of the meter stick. If the net torque is zero on the stick then the stick does not move and it remains in equilibrium condition. So, taking torque about the pivot.

9.8\times 12.5=W\times (50-12.5)\\\\W=\dfrac{9.8\times 12.5}{37.5}

W = 3.266 N

The mass of the meters stick is :

m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{3.266}{9.81}\\\\m=0.333\ kg

So, the mass of the meter stick is 0.333 kg.

A source produces 20 crests and 20 troughs in 4 seconds. The second crest is 3 cm away from the first crest.Calculate :
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Solution given:

No of waves[N] =20crests & 20 troughs

=20waves

Time[T]=4seconds

distance[d]=3cm=0.03m

Now

<u>Wave</u><u> </u><u>length</u><u>=</u>3cm=3 × {10}^{ - 2}m

<u>Frequency</u>=\frac{No of waves}{time}

=\frac{20}{4}=5Hertz

and

Wave speed:wave length×frequency=3 × {10}^{ - 2}m×5=1.5 × {10}^{ - 1} \tt{ {ms}^{ - 1}}.
