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).

State pascal law and write three instrument which base unit?

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Pascal's law (also Pascal's principle[1][2][3] or the principle of transmission of fluid-pressure) is a principle in fluid mechanics given by Blaise Pascal that states that a pressure change at any point in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere.[4] The law was established by French mathematician Blaise Pascal in 1653 and published in 1663.[5][6]

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

595391.482946 m/s

$3.21875\times 10^{6}$

Explanation:

E = Energy = 1.85 keV

I = Current = 5.15 mA

e = Charge of electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

t = Time taken = 1 second

m = Mass of proton = $1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

Velocity of proton is given by

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2E}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.85\times 10^3\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{1.67\times 10^{-27}}}\\\Rightarrow v=595391.482946\ m/s$

The speed of the proton is 595391.482946 m/s

Current is given by

$I=\dfrac{\Delta Q}{t}\\\Rightarrow \Delta Q=It\\\Rightarrow \Delta Q=5.15\times 10^{-3}\times (1\ sec)\\\Rightarrow Q=5.15\times 10^{-3}\ C$

Number of protons is

$n=\dfrac{Q}{e}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{5.15\times 10^{-3}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow n=3.21875\times 10^{6}\ protons$

The number of protons is $3.21875\times 10^{6}$

1pt A cannon fires a 5-kg ball horizontally from a

Klio2033 [76]

Answer: Both cannonballs will hit the ground at the same time.

Explanation:

Suppose that a given object is on the air. The only force acting on the object (if we ignore air friction and such) will be the gravitational force.

then the acceleration equation is only on the vertical axis, and can be written as:

a(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)

Now, to get the vertical velocity equation, we need to integrate over time.

v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t + v0

Where v0 is the initial velocity of the object in the vertical axis.

if the object is dropped (or it only has initial velocity on the horizontal axis) then v0 = 0m/s

and:

v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t

Now, if two objects are initially at the same height (both cannonballs start 1 m above the ground)

And both objects have the same vertical velocity, we can conclude that both objects will hit the ground at the same time.

You can notice that the fact that one ball is fired horizontally and the other is only dropped does not affect this, because we only analyze the vertical problem, not the horizontal one. (This is something useful to remember, we can separate the vertical and horizontal movement in these type of problems)

Why doesn’t a machine that increases force break the law of conservation of energy?

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

A machine in which work input equals work output. energy can be used to do work, work can be used to transfer energy. The change in the kinetic energy of an object is equal to the net work done on the object.

hope this helps
