The lens of a telescope has a diameter of 25 cm. You are using it to look at two stars that are 2 × 1017 m away from you and 6 × 109 m from each other. You are measuring light with a wavelength of 700 nm. As the light goes through the lens, it diffracts. a. Is it possible, using this telescope, to see the two stars as separate stars? b. What is the minimum possible lens diameter you would need in order to resolve these two stars?

Atruck driver is attempting to deliver some furniture. first, he travels 8 km east, and then he turns around and travels 3 km west. finally, he turns again and travels 13 km to his destination. what is the drivers total displacement?

If state law mandates that elevators cannot accelerate more than 2.40 m/s2 or travel faster than 14.8 m/s , what is the minimum time in which an elevator can travel the 373 m from the ground floor to the observatory floor? ?

An alpha particle with kinetic energy 12.5 mev makes a collision with lead nucleus, but it is not "aimed" at the center of the lead nucleus, and has an initial nonzero angular momentum (with respect to the stationary lead nucleus) of magnitude l = p0 b, where p0 is the magnitude of the initial momentum of the alpha particle and b=1.40×10−12 m. (assume that the lead nucleus remains stationary and that it may be treated as a point charge. the atomic number of lead is 82. the alpha particle is a helium nucleus, with atomic number 2.) what is the distance of closest approach?
