Almost all telescopes have a circular mirror. The area of a circle is proportional to r^2 where r is the radius of the circle, the constant of proportionality being 4\pi
S =4\pi r^2
Therefore the area of 150 meter telescope would be 
S_1/S_2=(r_1/r_2)^2 =(75/5)^2 =15^2=225
times bigger than the area of the smaller (10 meter) telescope.

The pressure on a fluid at rest in a pipe increases by 20 Pa. How does this change in pressure affect the pressure on the fluid
timofeeve [1]

Answer:The change in pressure can affect the pressure on the fluid through the radius and diameter of the pipe.

r^² x Pressure (pa).

Therefore the narrower the other part of the pile, the greater the pressure on the fluid at such part, the wider in other part the lesser the pressure on the fluid at this part.

Introduction to Forces<br> Warm-Up Active<br> How do forces affect the motion of an object?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Forces can affect an object.

Balanced forces allow an object to continue moving at a constant motion (law of inertia).

Unbalanced forces cause a change in motion.
