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>

2. A woman prevents a 3kg brick from falling by pressing it against a vertical wall. The coefficient of friction
Anettt [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

49 N

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • Mass of the brick as 3 kg
  • The coefficient of friction as 0.6

We are required to determine the force that must be applied by the woman so the brick does not fall.

  • We need to importantly note that;
  • For the brick not to fall the, the force due to gravity is equal to the friction force acting on the brick.
  • That is; Friction force = Mg

But; Friction force = μ F

Therefore;

μ F = mg

0.6 F = 3 × 9.8

0.6 F = 29.4

      F = 49 N

Therefore, she must use a force of 49 N
