<h2>The option ( c ) is correct</h2>

Explanation:

When we apply the force on any body , the inertia comes into play . It is the tenancy of the the body to oppose the force which tends to change its state .

In first case the train tries to change its state from rest to motion . Thus the inertia of rest opposes this tendency.

In the second case , the train tries to come from motion to the state of rest . Thus again , inertia opposes it .

Therefore inertia is the factor which creates difficulty in both case . Hence option ( c ) is correct

nan moved 18m to the right and then another 22m to the right if the motion takes 20 seconds what is nans velocity
IrinaVladis [17]
Step 1: list known info

distance(change in position (Δx))= 18m+22m= 40m
time= 20 seconds

Step 2 :solve for velocity

velocity= Δx÷time
v= 40/20= 2m/s

Answer: the velocity is 2 meters per a second (m/s)

Determine the amount of work done on an ideal gas as it is heated in an enclosed thermally insulated cylinder topped with a free
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

W = 3/2 n (T₁- T₂)

Explanation:

Let's use the first law of thermodynamics

           ΔE = Q + W

in this case the cylinder is insulated, so there is no heat transfer

           ΔE = W

internal energy can be related to the change in temperature

            ΔE = 3/2 n K ΔT

we substitute

           3/2 n (T₂-T₁) = W

as the work is on the gas it is negative

            W = 3/2 n (T₁- T₂)

The Hubble Space Telescope in orbit above the Earth has a 2.4 m circular aperture. The telescope has equipment for detecting ult
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Option d

The minimum angular separation between two objects that the Hubble Space Telescope can resolve is 4.8x10^{-8}rad.  

Explanation:

The resulting image in a telescope that will be gotten from an object is a diffraction pattern instead of a perfect point (point spread function (PSF)).

That diffraction pattern is gotten because the light encounters different obstacles on its path inside the telescope (interacts with the walls and edges of the instrument).

 

The diffraction pattern is composed by a central disk, called Airy disk, and diffraction rings.    

 

The angular resolution is defined as the minimal separation at which two sources can be resolved one for another, or in other words, when the distance between the two diffraction pattern maxima is greater than the radius of the Airy disk.

The angular resolution can be determined in analytical way by means of the Rayleigh criterion.          

\theta = 1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}  (1)

Where \lambda is the wavelength and D is the diameter of the telescope.

Notice that it is necessary to express the wavelength in the same units than the diameter.

\lambda = 95nm \cdot \frac{1x10^{-9}m}{1nm} ⇒ 9.5x10^{-8}m

Finally, equation 1 can be used.

\theta = 1.22(\frac{9.5x10^{-8}m}{2.4m})

\theta = 4.8x10^{-8}rad              

Hence, the minimum angular separation between two objects that the Hubble Space Telescope can resolve is 4.8x10^{-8}rad.
