Answer:

Water is polar molecule. ... The ionic compounds are dissolved as these ions attract the hydrogen( negative charge attraacts them) and oxygen (positive charge attracts them) whereas methanol is a polar molecule and forms hydrogen bond with water molecules and hence dissolves.

A series of optical telescopes produced an image that has a resolution of about 0.00350 arc second.

Mila [183]

Answer:

The smallest diameter is $D =122 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The resolution of the telescope is $\theta = 0.00350 \ arc \ second$

The wavelength is $\lambda = 1.70 \mu m = 1.70 *10^{-6} \ m$

From the question we are told that

$1 arc \ sec = \frac{1}{3600^o}$

So $0.00350 \ arc \ second = x$

Therefore

$x = 0.00350 * \frac{1}{3600 }$

$x = ( 9.722*10^{-7} )^o$

Now $1^o = \frac{\pi}{180}$

So $(9.722*10^{-7})^o = \theta$

=> $\theta = (9.722*10^{-7}) * \frac{\pi}{180}$

$\theta = 1.69*10^{-8} rad$

The smallest diameter is mathematically represented as

$D = \frac{1.22 \lambda }{\theta }$

substituting values

$D = \frac{1.22 * 1.7 *10^{-6}} {1.69 *10^{-8} }$

$D =122 \ m$

A 87.0 kg astronaut is working on the engines of a spaceship that is drifting through space with a constant velocity. The astron

Ket [755]

Answer:

259.62521 seconds

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of astronaut = 87 kg

$m_2$ = Mass of wrench = 0.57 kg

$v_1$ = Velocity of astronaut

$v_2$ = Velocity of wrench = 22.4 m/s

Here, the linear momentum is conserved

$m_1v_1=m_2v_2\\\Rightarrow v_1=\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=\frac{0.57\times 22.4}{87}\\\Rightarrow v_1=0.14675\ m/s$

Time = Distance / Speed

$Time=\frac{38.1}{0.14675}=259.62521\ s$

The time taken to reach the ship is 259.62521 seconds

Can a body have increasing velocity with decreasing acceleration?

Sergio039 [100]

Sure. The acceleration may be decreasing, but as long as it stays
in the same direction as the velocity, the velocity increases.

I think you meant to ask whether the body can have increasing velocity
with negative acceleration. That answer isn't simple either.

If the body's velocity is in the positive direction, then positive acceleration
means speeding up, and negative acceleration means slowing down.

BUT ... If the body's velocity is in the negative direction, then positive
acceleration means slowing down, and negative acceleration means
speeding up.

I know that's confusing.

-- Take a piece of scratch paper, write a 'plus' sign at one edge and
a 'minus' sign at the other edge. Those are the definitions of which
direction is positive and which direction is negative.

-- Then sketch some cars ... one traveling in the positive direction, and
one driving in the negative direction. Those are the directions of the
velocities.

-- Now, one car at a time:
. . . . . first push on the back of the car, in the direction it's moving;.
. . . . . then push on the front of the car, against its motion.
Each push causes the car to accelerate in the direction of the push.

When you see it on paper, all the positive and negative velocities
and accelerations will come clear for you.

How do i do a Wavelength and frequency problem

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

wavelength = v/f or wavelength equals to velocity over frequency
