Answer:

R = 1.2295 10⁵  m

Explanation:

After reading your problem they give us the diameter of the lens d = 4.50 cm = 0.0450 m, therefore if we use the Rayleigh criterion for the resolution in the diffraction phenomenon, we have that the minimum separation occurs in the first minimum of diffraction of one of the bodies m = 1 coincides with the central maximum of the other body

            θ = 1.22 λ / D

where the constant 1.22 leaves the resolution in polar coordinates and D is the lens aperture

             

how angles are measured in radians

          θ = y / R

where y is the separation of the two bodies (bulbs) y = 2 m and R the distance from the bulbs to the lens

            \frac{y}{R} = 1.22 \frac{ \lambda}{D}

            R = \frac{ y \ D}{1.22 \lambda}

let's calculate

            R = \frac{ 2 \ 0.045}{ 1.22 \ 600 \ 10^{-9}}

            R = 1.2295 10⁵  m

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

When a body is immersed in liquid there will be two force is acting on the body.

First one force acting downward due to weight of the body.

And the second force acting on the object will be buoyant force.

If the object is not in equilibrium the apparent weight will be equal to net force acting on the object.

     F_{net} = W - F_b

W is the weight of the object acting downward

Fb is the buoyancy force acting upward on the object.

Hence, the correct answer is option B

A 1000 kg car is rolling slowly across a level surface at 1m/s, heading toward a group of small innocent children.
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The force is -1620.73 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of car = 1000 kg

Velocity = 1 m/s

Distance = 2 m

Angle = 30°

We need to calculate the force

Using formula of work done

W_{net}=K_{f}-K_{i}

F\times d=K_{f}-K_{i}

Fd\cos\theta=-K_{i}

F=\dfrac{-K_{f}}{d\cos\theta}

F=-\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2}{d\cos\theta}

Put the value into the formula

F=-\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\times1000\times(1)^2}{2\times\cos30}

F=-1620.73\ N

Hence, The force is -1620.73 N.

A passenger on a stopped bus notices that rain is falling vertically just outside the window. When the bus moves with constant v
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

1)0.325

2)6.17\ \rm m/s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

The angle that falling raindrops make with the vertical=18^\circ

Let V_R be the velocity of the raindrops and V_B be the velocity of the bus.

1)

\dfrac{V_R}{V_B}=\tan 18^\circ\\\dfrac{V_R}{V_B}=0.315\\

2)Speed of the raindrops=0.315\times 19

=6.17\ \rm m/s

How large a band of frequencies does each television broadcasting channel get ?
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Since the waves must carry a great deal of visual as well as audio information, each channel requires a larger range of frequencies than simple radio transmission. TV channels utilize frequencies in the range of 54 to 88 MHz and 174 to 222 MHz. (The entire FM radio band lies between channels 88 MHz and 174 MHz.)
