Answer:
D = 2.38 m
Explanation:
This exercise is a diffraction problem where we must be able to separate the license plate numbers, so we must use a criterion to know when two light sources are separated, let's use the Rayleigh criterion, according to this criterion two light sources are separated if The maximum diffraction of a point coincides with the first minimum of the second point, so we can use the diffraction equation for a slit
a sin θ = m λ
Where the first minimum occurs for m = 1, as in these experiments the angle is very small, we can approximate the sine to the angle
θ = λ / a
Also when we use a circular aperture instead of slits, we must use polar coordinates, which introduce a numerical constant
θ = 1.22 λ / D
Where D is the circular tightness
Let's apply this equation to our case
D = 1.22 λ / θ
To calculate the angles let's use trigonometry
tan θ = y / x
θ = tan⁻¹ y / x
θ = tan⁻¹ (4.30 10⁻² / 140 10³)
θ = tan⁻¹ (3.07 10⁻⁷)
θ = 3.07 10⁻⁷ rad
Let's calculate
D = 1.22 600 10⁻⁹ / 3.07 10⁻⁷
D = 2.38 m
That depends on how far it is from the nearest planet. If it's on the surface of Earth, it weighs (19 kg) x (9.8 m/s^2) = 186.2 newtons.
Explanation:
M₂ = Fr²/GM₁
M₂ = [(132N)(.243m)²]/[(6.67*10^-11N*m²/kg)(1.175*10^4kg)]
M₂ = (7.79N*m²)/(7.84*10^-7N*m²)
M₂ = 9.94*10^6 kg
