Telescopes are an essential tool for astronomers to study the universe. You plan to build your own telescope that can resolve the Great Red Spot on the surface of Jupiter at a wavelength of
600 nm. The farthest distance between the Earth and Jupiter is 968 x 106 km and the Great Red
Spot has currently a diameter of 16,500 km.
(a) Use the Rayleigh criterion to determine the diameter of the lens' aperture of your telescope
that is needed to resolve the Great Red Spot on Jupiter.
Impacts have formed many craters on the Moon's surface. You would like to study some of the
craters with your new telescope. The distance between Moon and Earth is 384,400 km.
(b) What is the smallest possible size of the craters that your telescope can resolve?​

A33.1 g copper object is launched from a 1.5 m 30° steel incline positioned on the floor by being pulled up a string attached to a 50.0 g mass suspended vertically over a pulley. the object is projected towards a glass table where it lands when it is at the point along its trajectory with the lowest speed. it comes to a halt when it clears the opposite edge of the table. it then falls and lands on 9 physics texts each 5 cm thick that are stacked on the floor on the opposite side of the table. assume that the table does not have a ledge and the rectangular object experiences 0.05 n of air resistance as it falls towards the books. how far and how long did the object travel and how fast does it hit the books. assume that at the moment the copper object leaves the incline, the massless string and ideal pulley break off

Will give brainliest! which statement best describes the similarities between fundamental forces? electromagnetic and strong nuclear forces influence the interaction between charged particles within an atom. gravitational and magnetic forces are both types of charges that occur in nature. nuclear and magnetic forces are both related to mass and weight. strong nuclear force is most like electrical force because they are both related to distance.
