Hi someone please help meThanks. Only answer part D 7. NASA's newest observatory, the James Webb Space Telescope, has an angular resolution of 0.1 arcseconds. Let's figure out from this value what the telescope could possible "see" from a variety ofdistances. Be sure to include reasonable units and proper number of significant digits for each answer:a) How far away would the telescope be able to see a penny (diameter 0.750 in)?Unit:Answer:b) How far away would the telescope be able to see a soccer ball (diameter 23 cm)?Unit:c) How far away would the telescope be able to see a 6' tall standing human?Answer:Unit:d) What is the smallest object the telescope might be able to photograph on the surface of Mars?Assume Mars was at "opposition", meaning opposite of the Sun in the sky, at its closestpoint to Earth. Because both planets orbit on ellipses, the distances between our planets varies.Use an average distance of 0.5254 AU (where 1 AU = 1 astronomical unit = 149.6 million km.Answer:Answer:Unit:

Taking into account Mars's position at opposition, when it is closest to Earth, and assuming an…
