Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

The aperture is the place through which all the light enter into the telescope.

when the aperture is bigger more light coming from outside enter the telescope, hence a bigger and clearer image is seen. That is why scientists say the bigger the better.

Moreover, the resolution of the telescope is inversely proportional to the diameter of the aperture.

an object is moving with a speed of 35 m/s and has a kinetic energy of 1500 J, what is the mass of the object?

Elena-2011 [213]

You'd use the equation kinetic energy=mass*0.5*speed^2
So you'd rearrange this to get mass =kinetic energy /0.5 *speed^2
Which is mass= 1500J/0.5*35^2
=2.44897959183673469........kg

A rocket in orbit just above the atmosphere is moving in uniform circular motion. The radius of the circle in which it moves is

Zinaida [17]

Centripetal acceleration is given by the formula

$a_{cen}= \frac{v^2}{r}$

Since we know the value of the acceleration is 9.8 m/s² and we know r, we can solve for the speed, which is the magnitude of v. Note the value of a is just the acceleration due to gravity, which is what makes the rocket orbit and not fly off into space.

$9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}=\frac{v^2}{6.381 \times 10^6m} \\ \\ 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} \times 6.381 \times 10^6m=v^2 \\ \\ v= \sqrt{9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} \times 6.381 \times 10^6m} =24755 \frac{m}{s}$
