Ow does the light-collecting area of an 8-meter telescope compare to that of a 2-meter telescope?

The area will be the square of the quotient of the amounts for each telescope. Comparing the two microscopes, the 8-meter model is 4 times larger than the 2-meter model. Squaring this value gives a ratio of 16 times the amount of visual area for the larger telescope.

200 kW of solar radiation is shining on a 300 m^2 parking lot. What is the insulation on the parking lot?

That's "insolation" ... not "insulation".

'Insolation' is simply the intensity of solar radiation over some area.

If 200 kW of radiation is shining on 300 m² of area, then the insolation is

(200 kW) / (300 m²) = (666 and 2/3) watt/m² .

Note that this is the intensity of the incident radiation. It doesn't say anything
about how much soaks in or how much bounces off.

Wait !
I just looked back at the choices, and realized that I didn't answer the question
at all. I have no idea what "1 sun" means. Forgive me. I have stolen your
points, and I am filled with remorse.

Wait again !
I found it, through literally several seconds of online research.

1 sun = 1 kW/m².

So 2/3 of a kW per m² = 2/3 of 1 sun

That's between 0.5 sun and 1.0 sun.

I feel better now, and plus, I learned something.

At what speed should a ball of mass 2 kg be rolled in order to reach the other side of

Veronika [31]

Answer:

M g H = 1/2 M v^2 potential energy = kinetic energy

v^2 = 2 g H = 2 * 9.80 * 6 = 117.6 m/s^2

v = 10.8 m/s
