<span>B.) The motion of the planet as it spins on its axis

Please be careful with option A, 'cause it is "Revolutionary motion", many people would choose that but, it's wrong.

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!</span>

Explain the difference between the synodic period of a planet and the sidereal period. why is the synodic period often much less
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
-Synodic period is the period of celestial bodies observed on the moving planet(mostly earth)
Sideral period is the period comparing to the fixed stars without motion of the earth involved.

(I will explain the second question with an example, so it's easier to understand)
-For Sideral month for example of the moon it cactually complete one revolution in around 27.3 days.
However, since the earth moves, for us it took some more time to see the moon the same as before (fullmoon to fullmoon) again. That make synodic month of the moon to be around 29.5 days.

Identify the pros and cons of using mirrors versus lenses in each of the following applications:
disa [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

A lens – An object, usually made of glass, that focuses or defocuses the light that passes through it.

A mirror – A smooth surface, usually made of glass with reflective material painted on the underside, that reflects light so as to give an image of what is in front of it.

Telescope – monocular optical instrument possessing magnification for observing distant objects, especially in astronomy.

Refracting telescopes – are telescopes that use lenses are and those that use concave parabolic mirrors are called reflecting telescopes. 

Pros of mirror telescope

• They are easier to construct and not expensive to produce

• made larger and more durable (more light can be directed to the eyepiece which is good)

• cannot have any occlusions 

• mirrors have less spherical aberration

• reflect all wavelengths of light equally

• more magnification power for cheaper version

Cons of mirror prisms

• it must also be realigned after cleaning, which can be expensive - maintenance disadvantage

• Reflective Surface Disadvantage

Pros of Lenses telescope

• Easy to use

• More reliable

Cons of Lens telescope

• are not easy to construct and expensive to produce

• May have occlusions

• spherical aberration are more

• Doesnt reflect wavelengths of light equally they bend light differently

• Less magnification power for cheaper version

• heavy

• Longer body

Pro of Mirror periscope

• it helps us to see further than our view that is what is above us or sometimes even below us.

•Light weight

disadvantage:

• it may not work properly and show distorted images due to fog. ; Some have a narrow field of view ; May be detected by others Ungainly (long, takes up space),

•Not as rugged as prisms.

• Maintenance of reflection surface

Pros of Prism periscopes

• incorporated lenses for magnification and function as telescopes.

• They typically employ prisms and total internal reflection instead of mirrors, because prisms, which do not require coatings on the reflecting surface, are much more rugged than mirrors.

• May be fitted with additional optical capabilities such as range-finding and targeting.

Cons.

•mechanically disadvantage: Complex optically ; Some have a narrow field of view ; May be detected by others 

Ungainly (long, takes up space)

• Heavy weight

Lens - Terrestrial telescope

Pro: An advantage is that it makes it possible to vary the magnification of the telescope.

Cons- This system has the disadvantage increasing the length of the telescope.

Mirror- Terrestrial telescope (Cassegrain)

Pro: Good for distant terrestrial viewing.

greater magnification is attained.

They are more shorter

Cons- It is not what people expect a telescope to look like.

Slight light loss due to secondary mirror obstruction compared to refractors. Generally not suited for most terrestrial applications nor for to view objects in the sky.

slader Question: A Model Rocket Is Launched Straight Upward With An Initial Speed Of 50m/s. Iit Accelerates With A Constant Upwa
xenn [34]

Answer:

Maximum height reached by the rocket is

y_{max} = 308 m

total time of the motion of rocket is given as

T = 16.44 s

Explanation:

Initial speed of the rocket is given as

v_i = 50 m/s

acceleration of the rocket is given as

a = 2 m/s^2

engine stops at height h = 150 m

so the final speed of the rocket at this height is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

v_f^2 - 50^2 = 2(2)(150)

v_f = 55.68 m/s

so maximum height reached by the rocket is given as the height where its final speed becomes zero

so we will have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 55.68^2 = 2(-9.81)(y - 150)

y_{max} = 308 m

Now the total time of the motion of rocket is given as

1) time to reach the height of 150 m

v_f - v_i = at

55.68 - 50 = 2 t

t_1 = 2.84 s

2) time to reach ground from this height

\Delta y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

-150 = 55.68 t - \frac{1}{2}(9.81) t^2

t_2 = 13.6 s

so total time of the motion of rocket is given as

T = 13.6 + 2.84 = 16.44 s
