You are designing a slide for a water park. In a sitting position, park guests slide a vertical distance h down the water-slide, which has negligible friction. When they reach the bottom of the slide, they grab a handle at the bottom end of a 6.00-m-long uniform pole. The pole hangs vertically, initially at rest. The upper end of the pole is pivoted about a stationary, frictionless axle. The pole with a person hanging on the end swings up through an angle of 72.0∘, and then the person lets go of the pole and drops into a pool of water. Treat the person as a point mass. The pole’s moment of inertia is given by I=1/3ML^2 where L = 6.00 m is the length of the pole and M = 31.0 kg is its mass. For a person of mass 70.0 kg, what must be the height h in order for the pole to have a maximum angle of swing of 72.0∘ after the collision?

Assume that a certain billionaire innovator misplaced his supercar and finds it launched into a high-earth orbit at a height of 15 000 km above the Earth’s surface. Wondering if he left his headlights on, he uses his telescope to directly observe the car as it passes overhead.

a. What fundamental physical effect limits the resolution of optical systems? Explain how this physical effect leads to the observed limitation.
b. What fundamental requirement can we set on the telescope to be able to distinguish the two front lights of the supercar if they are separated by 1.5m and emit light at a wavelength of 575 nm?
