The mechanical energy of the given flying object is 10,340 MJ. So the correct choice is 10,340 MJ.

Mechanical energy: The mechanical energy of an object is the sum of its potential energy and kinetic energy.

The formula for the mechanical energy E is:

E=K+U

where K is the kinetic energy and U is the potential energy.

Kinetic energy: The energy possessed by an object due to the motion.

The kinetic energy is given by the formula,

K=(1/2)*(mv^2)

where m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of the object.

Potential energy: The energy possessed by an object due to its relative position from a given point.

The potential energy is given by the formula,

U=m*g*h

where g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height of the object from the ground.

Substitute K=(1/2)*(mv^2) and U=m*g*h in the formula of the mechanical energy to get the following formula,

E=(1/2)*(mv^2)+m*g*h

Given that m=80000 kg, h=10 km, and v=900 km/h, and the value of g is 9.8 m/s^(-2), the value of the total mechanical energy is,

E=(1/2)*(80,000 kg)(900 km/h )^2+(80,000 kg)*(9.8 m/s^(-2))*(10 km)

Note: 1 km= 1000 m and 1 km/h = 5/18 m/s. 1 MJ = 10^(6) J

E=(1/2)*(80,000 kg)*(900*(5/18) m/s )^2+(80000 kg)*(9.8 m/s^(-2))*(10000 m)

E=(1/2)*(80,000 kg)*(250 m/s)^2+7840*10^(6) J

E=2500*10^(6) J+7840*10^(6) J

E=10340*10^(6) J

E=10340 MJ

Which type of telescope does not require darkness in order to be able to use it?
exis [7]

Answer:

A type of telescope that does not require darkness in order to be able to use it is the refracting telescope

Explanation:

A refracting telescope consists of  a lens and an eyepiece collects light which is then focused to present a magnified, bright and clear  image.

The incident light on a refracting telescope is bent by refraction such that the light is focused to the focal point.

In refracting telescopes, the image is formed by bending light, that is by refraction.

The refracting telescope technology has been applied to binoculars and camera zoom lenses.
