The smallest detail visible with ground-based solar telescopes is about 1 arc second. How large a region (in km) does this repre

sent on the Sun? Hint: Use the small-angle formula: angular diameter (in arc seconds) 2.06 ✕ 105 = linear diameter distance . (Note: The average distance to the Sun can be found in Celestial profile: The Sun.)

Answer:

x = 727.5 km

Explanation:

With the conditions given using trigonometry, we can find the tangent

       tan θ = CO / CA

With CO the opposite leg and CE is the adjacent leg which is the distance from the Tierral to Sun

   

        D =150 10⁶ km (1000m / 1 km)

        D = 150 10⁹ m.

We must take the given angle to radians.

       1º  = 3600 arc s  

       π rad = 180º

       θ = 1 arc s (1º / 3600 s arc) (pi rad / 180º) =

       θ = 4.85 10⁻⁶ rad

That angle is extremely small, so we can approximate the tangent to the angle

     

       θ = x / D

       x = θ D

       x = 4.85 10-6  150 109

       x = 727.5 103 m

       x = 727.5 km

A person's prescription for bifocals is -0.25 diopter for distant vision and +2.50 diopters for near vision, the near vision bei
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

net power is + 2.25 D

Explanation:

Given data

distance vision = -0.25 D

near vision = + 2.50 D

to find out

net power

solution

we have given a person lens power for near is - 0.25 diopter and lens power for near power is  +2.50 diopter so

net power is sum of both the power vision

so

net power = distance + near power

put both value we get net power

net power = ( -0.25 D) + ( + 2.50 D)

net power = + 2.25 D

so net power is + 2.25 D

Which forces are shown on a free body diagram?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

What is a Free Body Diagram?

The free body diagram helps you understand and solve static and dynamic problem involving forces. It is a diagram including all forces acting on a given object without the other object in the system. You need to first understand all the forces acting on the object and then represent these force by arrows in the direction of the force to be drawn.
