Answer:

i) Telescopes can be used to view far distant objects but the human eye can't view far distant objects.

ii) Telescopes uses two convex lenses producing a magnified image while the human eye only possesses one convex lens (image seen are smaller than that viewed under telescopes)

Explanation:

The telescopes can be used to view far distant objects due to their presence of two convex lenses. The two convex lenses are the objective lens (lens closer to object) and the eye piece lens (lens closer to eye). The object to be viewed forms an intermediate image first before the final image is seen using the eye piece lens.

The human eye only possess one convex lens and as such cannot view far ranged objects.

If y = 0.02 sin (30x – 200t) (SI units), the frequency of the wave is

leva [86]

Answer:

31.831 Hz.

Explanation:

Given:

$\rm y = 0.02\sin(30x-200 t).$

The vertical displacement of a wave is given in generalized form as

$\rm y = A\sin(kx -\omega t).$

where,

A = amplitude of the displacement of the wave.
k = wave number of the wave = $\dfrac{2\pi }{\lambda}.$
$\lambda$ = wavelength of the wave.
x = horizontal displacement of the wave.
$\omega$ = angular frequency of the wave = $\rm 2\pi f$ .
f = frequency of the wave.
t = time at which the displacement is calculated.

On comparing the generalized equation with the given equation of the displacement of the wave, we get,

$\rm A=0.02.\\k=30.\\\omega =200.\\$

therefore,

$\rm 2\pi f=200\\\\\Rightarrow f = \dfrac{200}{2\pi}=31.831\ Hz.$

It is the required frequency of the wave.

Three children are riding on the edge of a merry-go-round that is 100 kg, has a 1.60-m radius, and is spinning at 20.0 rpm. The

Kay [80]

Answer:

25.33 rpm

Explanation:

M = 100 kg

m1 = 22 kg

m2 = 28 kg

m3 = 33 kg

r = 1.60 m

f = 20 rpm

Let the new angular speed in rpm is f'.

According to the law of conservation of angular momentum, when no external torque is applied, then the angular momentum of the system remains constant.

Initial angular momentum = final angular momentum

(1/2 x M x r^2 + m1 x r^2 + m2 x r^2 + m3 x r^2) x ω =

(1/2 x M x r^2 + m1 x r^2 + m3 x r^2 ) x ω'

(1/2 M + m1 + m2 + m3) x 2 x π x f = (1/2 M + m1 + m3) x 2 x π x f'

( 1/2 x 100 + 22 + 28 + 33) x 20 = (1/2 x 100 + 22 + 33) x f'

2660 = 105 x f'

f' = 25.33 rpm

9. ¿Por qué no es lo mismo distancia que desplazamiento?

masya89 [10]

Answer:

Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

The diagram below shows a 5.00-kilogram block

bixtya [17]

The name and strength of the force holding the block up is 50 N upward - Normal force.

The given parameters:

Mass of the block, m = 5 kg

The weight of the block acting downwards due to gravity is calculated as follows;

W = mg

where;

g is acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

W = 5 x 10

W = 50 N (downwards)

Since the block is at rest, an a force equal to the weight of the block must be acting upwards. This force is known as normal reaction.

Fₙ = 50 N (upwards)

Thus, the name and strength of the force holding the block up is 50 N upward - Normal force.
