What are the two principle advantages of telescopes over eyes?

Physics
1 answer:
Stells [14]3 years ago
8 0

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.

When a solid is in the process of changing into a liquid and extra energy is added to the system, the temperature does not chang
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

D. The temperature does not change during a phase change because the average kinetic energy does not change. Therefore, the potential energy in the bonds between molecules must change.

Explanation:

When there is a change of state (for example, from solid into a liquid, as in this example), when energy is added to the system, the temperature of the substance does not change.

The reason for this is that the energy supplied is no longer used to increase the average kinetic energy of the particle, but instead it is used to break the bonds between the different particles/molecules. For instance, since in this case the substance is changing from solid to liquid, all the energy supplied during the phase change is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the solid: when the process is done, all the molecules will be free to slide past each other, and the substance has turned completely into a liquid.

The bonds between molecules store potential energy: therefore, this means that the energy supplied during the phase change is not used to change the kinetic energy, but to change the potential energy in the bonds between the molecules.

A drowsy cat spots a flowerpot that sails first up and then down past an open window. the pot was in view for a total of 0.49 s,
Alika [10]

For this case, let's assume that the pot spends exactly half of its time going up, and half going down, i.e. it is visible upward for 0.245 s and downward for 0.245 s. Let us take the bottom of the window to be zero on a vertical axis pointing upward. All calculations will be made in reference to this coordinate system. <span>

An initial condition has been supplied by the problem: 

s=1.80m when t=0.245s 

<span>This means that it takes the pot 0.245 seconds to travel upward 1.8m. Knowing that the gravitational acceleration acts downward constantly at 9.81m/s^2, and based on this information we can use the formula:

s=(v)(t)+(1/2)(a)(t^2) 

to solve for v, the initial velocity of the pot as it enters the cat's view through the window. Substituting and solving (note that gravitational acceleration is negative since this is opposite our coordinate orientation): 

(1.8m)=(v)(0.245s)+(1/2)(-9.81m/s^2)(0.245s)^2 

v=8.549m/s 

<span>Now we know the initial velocity of the pot right when it enters the view of the window. We know that at the apex of its flight, the pot's velocity will be v=0, and using this piece of information we can use the kinematic equation:

(v final)=(v initial)+(a)(t) 

to solve for the time it will take for the pot to reach the apex of its flight. Because (v final)=0, this equation will look like 

0=(v)+(a)(t) 

Substituting and solving for t: 

0=(8.549m/s)+(-9.81m/s^2)(t) 

t=0.8714s 

<span>Using this information and the kinematic equation we can find the total height of the pot’s flight:

s=(v)(t)+(1/2)(a)(t^2) </span></span></span></span>

s=8.549m/s (0.8714s)-0.5(9.81m/s^2)(0.8714s)^2

s=3.725m<span>

This distance is measured from the bottom of the window, and so we will need to subtract 1.80m from it to find the distance from the top of the window: 

3.725m – 1.8m=1.925m</span>

 

Answer:

<span>1.925m</span>
