If a telescope has a lens with a diameter of 60 cm, what is the shortest distance between two objects on the moon that the telescope can resolve? use 3.84 x 108 m for the distance from the earth to the moon, and 550 nm for the wavelength of the light coming from the moon.

x = 429.33 m

Explanation:

given,

diameter of telescope = 60 cm = 0.6 m

distance of moon form earth = 3.84 x 10⁸ m

wavelength of the light = 550 nm

shortest between the two object = ?

we know,

       θ = 1.12 x 10⁻⁶ rad/s

distance between two object will be equal to

       x = d θ

       x = 3.84 x 10⁸ x 1.12 x 10⁻⁶

       x = 429.33 m

In a collision, there'll always be two mechanical force involved. One is the force of acceleration and the other is the frictional force. In an event of a collision, the two colliding bodies will experience change in acceleration, one who has the larger momentum will retain its direction of acceleration, all the while both body will experience another which is frictional force.
