Standing on a mountain, you look towards another mountain 6.00 km away, on which there are two persons standing 1.00 meter apart

. If the pupil of your eye has a diameter of 3.50 mm, will you be able to resolve the two persons (or will you see them as one). Take wavelength of light = 600 nm

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

We shall solve this problem by calculating the resolving power of eye for given wavelength

Resolving Power of eye = \frac{1.22\lambda }{D}

Where λ is wave length of light and D is diameter of eye.

λ is 600 nm and D is 3.5 mm . Put these values in the given formula

Resolving Power = \frac{1.22\times 600\times 10^{-9} }{3.5\times 10^{-3}}\\

=209.14 \times 10^{-6}radian

From the formula

Φ = \frac{L}{D}[/tex]

Where Ф is resolving power . If L be distance between two points that can be resolved at distance D. D is 6 km or 6000 m .

209.14  \times 10^{-6}=\frac{L}{6000}\\

L= 1.254 m

So minimum distance that can be resolved is 1.254 m.

A woman 5.5 ft walks at a rate of 6 ft/sec towards a street light that is 22 ft above the ground. At what rate is the length of
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The length of her shadow is changing at the rate  -2 m/s

Explanation:

Let the height oh the street light, h = 22 ft

Let the height of the woman, w = 5.5 ft

Horizontal distance to the street light = l

length of shadow = x

h/w = (l + x)/x

22/5.5 =  (l + x)/x

4x = l + x

3x = l

x = 1/3 l

taking the derivative with respect to t of both sides

dx/dt = 1/3 dl/dt

dl/dt = -6 ft/sec ( since the woman is walking towards the street light, the value of l is decreasing with time)

dx/dt = 1/3 * (-6)

dx/dt = -2 m/s

How is a scientific theory different from a hypothesis?
Maslowich
A scientific theory is different from a hypothesis because a theory is a educated guess that is being worked on and proven correct and a hypothesis is a educated guess it is a guess that needs to be proven.

How are the following mechanical characteristics of metals measured? (a) Stiffness (b) Strength (c) Ductility (d) Toughness (e)
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

(a) Stiffness is measured by Young modulus

(b) Strength is measured as tensile stress in force per unit area

(c) Ductility is measured by elongation and reduction of area.

(d) Toughness is measured by the amount of energy that a unit volume of the material has absorbed after being stressed up to the point of fracture.

(e) Hardness is obtained by measuring the size of the impression left by an indenter

Explanation:

Mechanical properties are helpful in determining whether or not a material can be produced in the desired shape and also resist the mechanical forces anticipated.

Given mechanical properties of metals and how they are measured is as follows:

(a) Stiffness is the ability of a material to resist deformation under stress. It is measured by Young modulus

(b) Strength is the ability of a material to resist the externally applied forces without breaking or yielding. It is measured as tensile stress in force per unit area

(c) Ductility is the property of a material enabling it to be drawn into a wire with the application of a tensile force. It is measured by elongation and reduction of area.

(d) Toughness is the property of a material to resist fracture due to high impact. It is measured by the amount of energy that a unit volume of the material has absorbed after being stressed up to the point of fracture.

(e) Hardness is the property of a metal, which gives it the ability to resist being permanently deformed, when a load is applied. It is obtained by measuring the size of the impression left by an indenter
