The ability of a telescope to separate two closely spaced stars is called (angular) resolution.

What is a telescope ?

Astronomers use a telescope to observe distant things. Curved mirrors are used by the majority of telescopes, including all large telescopes, to collect and concentrate light from the night sky. The original telescopes employed lenses, which are simply curved pieces of clear glass, to focus light.

The capacity of a telescope to distinguish two point sources into distinct pictures is known as resolution. The resolving power is constrained by diffraction effects in ideal circumstances, such as above the atmosphere where there is no turbulence (seeing).

A pilot is upside down at the top of an inverted loop of radius 3.20 x 103 m. At the top of the loop his normal force is only on

n200080 [17]

Answer:

6858.5712 m/s

Explanation:

Given that:

Radius, r

R = 3.20 * 10^3.

Normal force = 0.5 * normal weight

Normal force = Fn ; Normal weight = Fg

Fn = 0.5Fg

Recall:

mv² / R = Fn + Fg

Fn = 0.5Fg

mv² / R = 0.5Fg + Fg

mv² /R = 1.5Fg

mv² = 1.5Fg * R

F = mg

mv² = 1.5* mg * R

v² = 1.5gR

v = sqrt(1.5gR)

V = sqrt(1.5 * 9.8 * 3.2 * 10^3)

V = sqrt(47.04^3)

V = 6858.5712 m/s

What structures can be found in the axial region of the body?

Softa [21]

Answer:

The axial region of the body consists of the bones of the head, trunk of a vertebrate, skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage. The human skeleton consists of 80 bones.

Explanation:

The axial region of the body consists of the bones of the head, trunk of a vertebrate, skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage. The human skeleton consists of 80 bones.

It is composed of the following six parts:

1. Skull (22 bones)

2. Ossicles of the middle ear

3. Hyoid bone

4. Rib cage

5. Sternum

6. Vertebral column

The axial region of the body forms the vertical axis of the body as the axial skeleton supports the head, neck, back, and chest.

A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Two pieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular t

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m₁=m₂ = m

m₃ = 2 m

Given that speed of the two pieces

u₁=- 25 j m/s

u₂ =- 25 i m/s

Lets take the speed of the third mass = v m/s

From linear momentum conservation

Pi= Pf

0 = m₁u₁+m₂u₂ + m₃ v

0 = -25 j m - 25 i m + 2 m v

2 v=25 j + 25 i m/s

v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Therefore the speed of the third mass will be v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

A baseball is batted from a height of 1.09 m with a speed of

kobusy [5.1K]

(a) The horizontal and vertical components of the ball’s initial velocity is 37.8 m/s and 12.14 m/s respectively.

(b) The maximum height above the ground reached by the ball is 8.6 m.

(d) The ball's velocity after 2.0 seconds if there is no crosswind is 38.53 m/s.

<h3>Horizontal and vertical components of the ball's velocity</h3>

Vx = Vcosθ

Vx = 39.7 x cos(17.8)

Vx = 37.8 m/s

Vy = Vsin(θ)

Vy = 39.7 x sin(17.8)

Vy = 12.14 m/s

<h3>Maximum height reached by the ball</h3>

$H = \frac{v^2 sin^2(\theta)}{2g} \\\\H = \frac{(39.7)^2 \times (sin17.8)^2}{2(9.8)} \\\\H = 7.51 \ m$

Maximum height above ground = 7.51 + 1.09 = 8.6 m

<h3>Distance off course after 2 second </h3>

Upward speed of the ball after 2 seconds, V = V₀y - gt

Vy = 12.14 - (2x 9.8)

Vy = - 7.46 m/s

Horizontal velocity will be constant = 37.8 m/s

Resultant speed of the ball after 2 seconds = √(Vy² + Vx²)

$V = \sqrt{(-7.46)^2 + (37.8)^2} \\\\V = 38.53 \ m/s$

<h3>Resultant speed of the ball and crosswind</h3>

$V = \sqrt{38.52^2 + 4^2} \\\\V = 38.72 \ m/s$

<h3>Distance off course the ball would be carried</h3>

d = Δvt = (38.72 - 38.53) x 2

d = 0.38 m

The ball's velocity after 2.0 seconds if there is no crosswind is 38.53 m/s.
