The ability of a telescope to separate two closely spaced stars is called (angular) resolution.

What is a telescope ?

Astronomers use a telescope to observe distant things. Curved mirrors are used by the majority of telescopes, including all large telescopes, to collect and concentrate light from the night sky. The original telescopes employed lenses, which are simply curved pieces of clear glass, to focus light.

The capacity of a telescope to distinguish two point sources into distinct pictures is known as resolution. The resolving power is constrained by diffraction effects in ideal circumstances, such as above the atmosphere where there is no turbulence (seeing).

Choose all of the true statements regarding the relationship between voltage, resistance, and current. Current is measured in am

AveGali [126]

-- Current is measured in amps. (You can use any symbol you want to represent current, but the most common one is " I ", not "Δ".)

-- The relationship between current, voltage, and resistance is mathematically defined by Ohm's Law.

-- Current is the flow of electrons through a circuit.

-- (Ohm's Law is NOT mathematically represented by the equation V=I/R.) It should be V = I · R .

(When solving for Resistance in a circuit and both voltage and current are known values, the equation I =V*R is not true, and not the way to solve it.) If the resistance is what you're looking for, then the equation to use is R = V / I .

-- If the voltage in a circuit is increased, the current will also increase.

As the core collapses, the outer layers of the star are expelled. A planetary nebula is formed by the outer layers. The core remains as a white dwarf and eventually cools to become a black dwarf. ... Like low-mass stars, high-mass stars are born in nebulae and evolve and live in the Main Sequence

hydrogen shell burning - outer layers swell. Red Giant Branch - helium ash core compresses - increased hydrogen shell burning. First Dredge Up - expanding atmosphere cools star - stirs carbon, nitrogen and oxygen upward - star heats up.

A bottle rocket takes off with a = 34.5 m/s2. It

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:3.4 seconds

Explanation:

Initial velocity(u)=0

acceleration=34.5m/s^2

Height(h)=200m

Time =t

h=u x t - (gxt^2)/2

200=0xt+(34.5xt^2)/2
