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>

Two 2.0 kg bodies, A and B, collide. The velocities before the collision are ~vA = (15ˆi + 30ˆj) m/s and ~vB = (−10ˆi + 5.0ˆj) m
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Part a)

10\hat i + 15\hat j = \vec v

Part b)

\Delta K = 500 J

Explanation:

As we know that there is no external force on the system of two masses so here total momentum of the system will remains conserved

so we can say

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

(2kg)(15\hat i + 30 \hat j) + (2 kg)(-10\hat i  + 5\hat j) = 2kg(-5\hat i + 20\hat j) + 2\vec v

5\hat i + 35\hat j = (-5\hat i + 20\hat j) +\vec v

10\hat i + 15\hat j = \vec v

Part b)

magnitude of the initial speed of A = \sqrt{15^2 + 30^2} = 33.54 m/s

magnitude of the initial speed of B = \sqrt{10^2 + 5^2} = 11.18 m/s

magnitude of final speed of A = \sqrt{5^2 + 20^2} = 20.61 m/s

magnitude of final speed of B = \sqrt{10^2 + 15^2} = 18.03 m/s

Now change in total kinetic energy is given as

\Delta K = (\frac{1}{2}m_1v_{1i}^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{2i}^2) - (\frac{1}{2}m_1v_{1f}^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{2f}^2)

\Delta K = (\frac{1}{2}2(33.54)^2 + \frac{1}{2}2(11.18)^2) - (\frac{1}{2}2(20.61)^2 + \frac{1}{2}2(18.03)^2)

\Delta K = 500 J
