Space telescopes must be placed in orbit around earth in order to observe short-wavelength radiation.

<h3>What is telescope?</h3>

A telescope is an optical instrument that uses lenses, curved mirrors, or a combination of both to watch distant objects.

When atoms in a gas reach this temperature, they travel so quickly that when they collide, they release X-ray photons with wavelengths smaller than 10 nanometers.

Because the Earth's atmosphere prevents all X-rays from space, these wavelengths must be seen using space telescopes.

To study short-wavelength radiation, space telescopes must be put in orbit around the Earth.

Hence, space telescope is the correct answer.

9. Captain America is chasing Red Skull. He plans to throw his shield to knock down Red Skull but needs to know how fast Red Sku

Sedaia [141]

Red Skull's relative velocity to Captain America, towards the left front of the

truck is approximately 33.23 m/s in a direction from the North of

approximately 9.18°.

Reasons:

Assumptions;

Taking the north direction as positive.

The activity takes place on the trucks.

The trucks are moving towards each other.

Solution:

Vector form of net speed of Red Skull, is given as follows;

v₁ = -( $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ × 3.5)·i + ( $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ × 3.5 + 12.5)·j

Vector form of the net speed of Captain America is given as follows;

v₂ = ( $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ × 4.0)·i - ( $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ × 4.0 + 15)·j

Relative velocity, v₁₂ = v₁ - v₂

∴ v₁₂ = (-( $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ × 3.5) - ( $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ × 4.0))·i + (( $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ × 3.5 + 12.5) + ( $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ × 4.0 + 15))·j

v₁₂ = $-\frac{ 15 \cdot \sqrt{2} }{4}$ ·i + $\frac{ 110 + 15 \cdot \sqrt{2} }{4}$ ·j

Red Skull's velocity relative to Captain America, v₁₂ = $-\frac{ 15 \cdot \sqrt{2} }{4}$ ·i + $\frac{ 110 + 15 \cdot \sqrt{2} }{4}$ ·j

v₁₂ ≈ -5.3·i + 32.8·j

Therefore;

Red Skull appears to be moving West at 5.3 m/s and North at 32.8 m/s

The direction is $arctan \left(\frac{32.8}{-5.3} \right) \approx -80.2^{\circ}$

Therefore;

Red Skull appear to be moving at 90° - 80.2° ≈ 9.18° towards the left front end of the truck moving North

The magnitude of the velocity, |v₁₂|, is given as follows;

$|v_{12}| = \sqrt{\left(-\frac{ 15 \cdot \sqrt{2} }{4}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{ 110 + 15 \cdot \sqrt{2} }{4}\right)^2} = \dfrac{ 5 \cdot \sqrt{130+33 \cdot\sqrt{2} } }{2} \approx 33.23$ ·

The magnitude of Red Skull's velocity relative to Captain America is,

therefore;

|v₁₂| ≈ 33.23 m/s

Use the conservation of angular momentum; angular momentum at the beginning = angular momentum at the end
Conservation of angular momentum:
I1 w1 = I2 w2
Where I is the moment of inertia. For a sphere, I=2/5 m R^2. Substituting into the equation above we get
w2 = I1 w1 / I2 = w1 m1 R1^2 / (m2 R2^2)
w2 = w1 4 * (R1/R2)^2
= 4*(1)*(7E5/7.5)^2
= 3.48E10 revs/(17days)
= 2.04705882 x 10^9 revs/sec
