Vikki [24]3 years ago

When you hit a hammer on the head of a nail, all the momentum associated with hammer is transferred into nail. And due to this, the surface of nail gets deformed or if you touch it you can feel the rise in temperature. When you hit a hammer on nail, hammer exerts force on nail and by Newton's 3rd law, nail will also exert a force on the hammer perpendicular to the surface of the hammer of same magnitude but its direction will be reversed. Thus, only 2 forces acts in this interaction and they are action-reaction pairs.

As much as 90% of the matter in the universe may be unseen “dark matter.” where is this dark matter?
lyudmila [28]
As much as 90% of the matter in the universe my be unseen i.e. dark matter. There is a variety of explanations offered by many astronomers and physicists for this dark matter. It could merely be ordinary material such as ultra-faint stars, cold gas, large or small black holes or dust scattered around the universe, all of which emit or reflect too little radiation for our instruments to detect. It could also consist of exotic, unfamiliar particles that we have not figured out how to observe.

Why does a paper clip sink and a big ocean liner float? explain your answer.
slamgirl [31]

<span>Because of the density of the paperclip it sinks, but even though a boat is normally made of steal it contains an opposite force of gravity known as buoyancy. Buoyancy is the reason that a boat will float.  Boat density is less weight than the water they are in so this is one reason that they are floaters.</span>

Sloan [31]

Answer:

563.64 m

Explanation:

Given that as per the question

x = 5 cm = 0.05 m

D = 4.2 × 107 m

d = smallest aperture size

As per the situation the solution of the smallest aperture telescope that she can get away with is below :-

We will use Rayleigh's diffraction limit which is

d\frac{x}{D} = 1.22\lambda

The equation will be

d\frac{0.05}{4.2\times 10^7} = 1.22[550\times 10^{-9}]

d = 563.64 m

So, the answer is d = 563.64 m
