Force = mass * acceleration
F = ma
Given m = 10 kg, F = 30 N;
F = ma
30 = 10a
Solving for a:
a = 3 m/s^2
The acceleration is 3 meters per second squared.
Explanation:
You would think it should. But remember the Force is also determined by mass. The mass of the earth markes our mass like the smallest part of a mosquito leg. The earth will go on it its merry way without cosidering us at all.
Once the starlight or moonlight comes down the tube and hits the big main mirror at the bottom, it's reflected, and heads back up the tube, along the same way it came in. But if you're looking through an eyepiece, the eyepiece is on the SIDE of the tube. So you need another small mirror, to catch the focused light before it goes up out of the tube, and send it sideways to the eyepiece.
