Answer:

e. Doubles.

Explanation:

Resolving power is given by the formula as follows :

\dfrac{1}{d\theta}=\dfrac{D}{1.22\lambda}

Here, d\theta is the angle subtended by two distant objects

D is diameter of the telescope

Here, the diameter of a radar dish is doubled, assuming all other factors remain unchanged, then the resolving power gets doubled. Hence, the correct option is (e).

The human ear canal is, on average, 2.5cm long and aids in hearing by acting like a resonant cavity that is closed on one end an
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

3400 Hz

Explanation:

We know that

1 cm = 0.01 m

L = Length of the human ear canal = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

V = Speed of sound = 340 ms⁻¹

f = First resonant frequency

The human ear canal behaves as a closed pipe and for a closed pipe, nth resonant frequency is given as

f = \frac{(2n - 1)V}{4L}

for first resonant frequency, we have n = 1

Inserting the values

f = \frac{(2(1) - 1) 340}{4(0.025)}

f = \frac{340}{4(0.025)}

f = 3400 Hz

Sheila (m=56.8 kg) is in her saucer sled moving at 12.6 m/s at the bottom of the sledding hill near Bluebird Lake. She approache
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

y = 54.9 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use the relationship between the work of the friction force and mechanical energy.

Let's look for work

      W = -fr d

The negative sign is because Lafourcade rubs always opposes the movement

On the inclined part, of Newton's second law

Y Axis  

      N - W cos θ  = 0

The equation for the force of friction is

      fr = μ N

      fr = μ mg cos θ

We replace at work

     W = - μ m g cos θ  d

Mechanical energy in the lower part of the embankment

      Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

The mechanical energy in the highest part, where it stopped

     Em_{f} = U = m g y

     W = ΔEm =  Em_{f} - Em₀

    - μ m g d cos θ = m g y - ½ m v²

Distance d and height (y) are related by trigonometry

     sin θ = y / d

     y = d sin θ

   

    - μ m g d cos θ = m g d sin θ - ½ m v²

We calculate the distance traveled

     d (g syn θ + μ g cos θ) = ½ v²

     d = v²/2 g (sintea + myy cos tee)

     d = 9.8 12.6 2/2 9.8 (sin16 + 0.128 cos 16)

     d = 1555.85 /7.8145

     d = 199.1 m

Let's use trigonometry to find the height

      sin 16 = y / d

      y = d sin 16

      y = 199.1 sin 16

      y = 54.9 m

The speed of light in benzene is 2.00×108 m/s. what is the index of refraction of benzene?
Klio2033 [76]
The index of refraction of a material is the ratio between the speed of light in vacuum, c, and the speed of light in that material, v:
n= \frac{c}{v}
where the speed of light in vacuum is c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s. The speed of light in benzene is v=2.00 \cdot 10^8 m/s, so we can use the previous relationship to find the refractive index of benzene:
n= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{2.00 \cdot 10^8 m/s}=1.5

You need to determine the density of an unknown liquid and decide to perform an experiment. You notice that a wooden block float
Allushta [10]

Answer:

pu = 1260.9kg/m^3

the density of the unknown liquid is 1260.9kg/m^3

Explanation:

The density of a liquid is inversely proportional to the volume (height) of object submerged in it.

High density liquid possess higher buoyant force preventing objects from submerging.

p ∝ 1/V ∝ 1/h

since V = Ah

pu/pw = hw/hu

pu = pwhw/hu

Where;

p = density

h = height submerged

pu and pw is the density of unknown liquid and water respectively

hu and hw is the height of object submerged in unknown liquid and water respectively

pw = 1000kg/m^3

hu = 4.6cm = 0.046m

hw = 5.8cm = 0.058m

Substituting the given values;

pu = 1000×0.058/0.046

pu = 1260.9kg/m^3

the density of the unknown liquid is 1260.9kg/m^3
