During the month of January, the Earth goes through the point of closest approach to the Sun. Using Kepler's Second law we can conclude that the Earth moves faster in January than in July. A. TrueB. False

Explain why the aperture of the spherical mirror should be small compared to the radius of curvature of the mirror.

Scientists use laser range-finding to measure the distance to the moon with great accuracy. a brief laser pulse is fired at the moon, then the time interval is measured until the "echo" is seen by a telescope. a laser beam spreads out as it travels because it diffracts through a circular exit as it leaves the laser. in order for the reflected light to be bright enough to detect, the laser spot on the moon must be no more than 1.0 km in diameter. staying within this diameter is accomplished by using a special large-diameter laser. part a if λ = 540nm , what is the minimum diameter of the circular opening from which the laser beam emerges? the earth-moon distance is 384,000 km. express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Two vectors are shown. which statement best compares the vectors? vector x has greater magnitude than vector y. vector y has greater magnitude than vector x. the vectors have the same displacement. the vectors have the same direction.
