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 resistor A, B and C are arranged in series, same current will flow in all the resistors and 2A will flow is resistor C.

<h3>What is series circuit?</h3>

This is the type of circuit arrangement in which the resistors are arranged in series order.

In this type of circuit arrangement, same current flows in every component of the circuit.

Thus, if resistor A, B and C are arranged in series, same current will flow in all the resistors and 2A will flow is resistor C.

In a police ballistics test, a 10.0-g bullet moving at 300 m/s is fired into a 1.00-kg block at rest. The bullet goes through th

natta225 [31]

Answer:

Speed of block after the bullet emerges = 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

Here momentum is conserved.

Initial momentum = Final momentum.

Mass of bullet = 10 g = 0.01 kg

Initial Velocity of bullet = 300 m/s

Mass of block = 1 kg

Initial Velocity of block = 0 m/s

Final Velocity of bullet = 50% of initial velocity. = 150 m/s

We need to find final velocity of block. Let it be v

We have

Initial momentum = 0.01 x 300 + 1 x 0 = 3 kg m/s

Final momentum = 0.01 x 150 + 1 x v = 1.5 + v

Equating

3 = 1.5 + v

v = 1.5 m/s

Speed of block after the bullet emerges = 1.5 m/s

6. What is the resultant force on each car below? Remember TWO pieces of

tamaranim1 [39]

Explanation:

In first case, the forces on LHS and on RHS is the same i.e. 3 N. The force acting on the car is balanced force. As a result, the car will not move at all.

In second case,

Force on RHS = 2000 N

Force on LHS = -6000 N

Net force acting on it is given by :

F = 2000+(-6000)

= -4000 N

Hence, this is the required solution.

Proof of conservation of energy

frutty [35]

If you compare the energy at two different times in an equation, you'll see no difference, because it's been conserved. The total energy of a system is the sum of its energy in motion - its kinetic energy - and its energy due to its position, which is its potential energy

A glider is gliding through the air at a height of 416 meters with a speed of 45.2 m/s. The glider dives to a height of 278 mete

Verdich [7]

Answer:

<em>The glider's new speed is 68.90 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Principle Of Conservation Of Mechanical Energy</u>

The mechanical energy of a system is the sum of its kinetic and potential energy. When the only potential energy considered in the system is related to the height of an object, then it's called the gravitational potential energy. The kinetic energy of an object of mass m and speed v is

$\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

The gravitational potential energy when it's at a height h from the zero reference is

$U=mgh$

The total mechanical energy is

$M=K+U$

$\displaystyle M=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh$

The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states the total energy is constant while no external force is applied to the system. One example of a non-conservative system happens when friction is considered since part of the energy is lost in its thermal manifestation.

The initial conditions of the problem state that our glider is glides at 416 meters with a speed of 45.2 m/s. The initial mechanical energy is

$\displaystyle M_1=\frac{1}{2}m(45.2)v_o^2+m(9.8)(416)$
