Why is it not necessary for radio telescope surfaces to be as smooth as a mirror?

It doesn't on account of radio waves are longer than optical waves. Radio waves are a sort of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the electromagnetic range longer than infrared light. These long waves are in the radio locale of the electromagnetic range.

A mass of 0.5 kg hangs motionless from a vertical spring whose length is 1.10 m and whose unstretched length is 0.50 m. Next the
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

The maximum length during the motion is L_{max} = 1.45m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

           The mass  is  m =0.5 kg

            The vertical spring  length is  L = 1.10m

            The unstretched  length is  L_{un} = 1.30m

          The initial speed is v_i = 1.3m/s

          The new length of the spring L_{new} =  1.30 m

The spring constant k is mathematically represented as

                           k = -\frac{F}{y}

Where F is the force applied  = m * g = 0.5 * 9.8=4.9N

           y is the difference in weight which is   =1.10-0.50=0.6m

The negative sign is because the displacement of the spring (i.e its extension occurs against the force F)

    Now  substituting values accordingly

                    k =  \frac{4.9}{0.6}

                       = 8.17 N/m

The  elastic potential energy is given as E_{PE} = \frac{1}{2} k D^2

  where D is this the is the displacement  

Since Energy is conserved the total elastic potential energy would be

             E_T = initial  \ elastic\ potential \ energy + kinetic \ energy

            E_T = \frac{1}{2} k D_{max}^2 =   \frac{1}{2} k D^2 + \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Substituting value accordingly

                \frac{1}{2} *8.17 *D_{max}^2 =\frac{1}{2} * 8.17*(1.30 - 0.50)^2 + \frac{1}{2} * 0.5 *1.30^2

                4.085 * D_{max}^2 = 3.69

                 D^2_{max} = 0.9033

                D_{max} = 0.950m

So to obtain total length we would add the unstretched length

 So we have

                  L_{max} = 0.950 + 0.5 = 1.45m

OLga [1]

Answer:

66.5N

Explanation:

F = kx

Where F = force

K = spring constant

x = compression

Given

K = 950N/m

x = 7.0cm

F = ?

First convert the compression to meters .

7.0cm = 7.0 x 0.01

= 0.07 meters

Therefore

F = 950 x 0.07

= 66.5N
