Answer:

C. 10⁻³ rads

Explanation:

Here, we shall use Rayleigh's Criterion to find out the angular resolution of Cat's eye during day light. Rayleigh's Criterion is written as follows:

θ = λ/a

where,

θ = angular resolution of Cat's eye = ?

λ = wavelength = 500 nm = 5 x 10⁻⁷ m

a = slit width of eye = 0.5 mm = 5 x 10⁻⁴ m

Therefore,

θ = (5 x 10⁻⁷ m/5 x 10⁻⁴ m)

Therefore,

θ = 0.001

θ = Sin⁻¹(0.001)

θ = 0.001 rad = 1 x 10⁻³ rad

Hence, the correct answer is:

<u>C. 10⁻³ rads</u>

A small bug is lying resting when nine ants simultaneously ambush it and begin pulling it in different directions. They are each
xxMikexx [17]

Answer: The bug will remain motionless

Explanation:

According to Newton's first Law of Motion (sometimes called Law of Inertia):

<em>An object at rest or describing a uniform straight line motion (moving at constant velocity), will remain at rest or moving unless an external force is applied to it and changes its state of rest or motion. </em>

In other words:

An object or body will keep its state of motion until an external force changes its state

This means that objects tend to remain in its state of motion, and is the definition of the inertia, as well.

In addition, according to his law, an object in rest can be in equilibrium (net force equals to zero), and a moving object can also be in equilibrium, as long as it keeps a constant velocity.

<h2>This is why the bug, which is at rest will remain at rest, although the ants are simultaneously pulling it in different directions, since the resultant of all these forces is zero.</h2>

Friction provides the force needed for a car to travel around a flat, circular race track. What is the maximum speed at which a
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Maximum speed of the car is 17.37 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the circular track, r = 79 m

The coefficient of friction, \mu=0.39

To find,

The maximum speed of car.

Solution,

Let v is the maximum speed of the car at which it can safely travel. It can be calculated by balancing the centripetal force and the gravitational force acting on it as :

v=\sqrt{\mu rg}

v=\sqrt{0.39\times 79\times 9.8}

v = 17.37 m/s

So, the maximum speed of the car is 17.37 m/s.

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

In terms of communication, a receiver is usually referred to as a person who listens, reads as well as observes. In simple words, a receiver is an individual or it can be a group of individuals, to whom any type of message is being diverted. The other name for the receiver is 'audience'.

In the given condition, Warren is attending a seminar in which he is listening to the speaker, as a part of the audience. So, it can be concluded that Warren is a receiver who is receiving information or hearing the speaker.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
