Sometime around 2024, astronomers at the European Southern Observatory hope to begin using the E-ELT (European Extremely Large Telescope), which is planned to have a primary mirror 42 m in diameter. Let us assume that the light it focuses has a wavelength of 550 nm. (a) What is the most distant Jupiter-sized planet the telescope could resolve, assuming its resolution is limited only by diffraction? Express your answer in meters and light years. (b) The nearest known exoplanets (planets beyond the solar system) are around 20 light years away. What would have to be the minimum diameter of an optical telescope to resolve a Jupiter-sized planet at that distance using light of wavelength 550 nm? ( 1 light year = 9.461 × 10 15 m )

Aplayground slide is 8.80 ft long and makes an angle of 25.0° with the horizontal. a 63.0-kg child, initially at the top, slides all the way down to the bottom of the slide. (a) choosing the bottom of the slide as the reference configuration, what is the system's potential energy when the child is at the top and at the bottom of the slide? what is the change in potential energy as the child slides from the top to the bottom of the slide? (include the sign of the value in your answer.)
