The best answer is
C) reflecting telescope, because it can be made large enough to gather more radiations (or light) from distant objects.

Reflecting telescopes, unlike refracting telescopes, can be made larger and larger to collect more light, with more precision, from larger distances. Refracting telescopes generally are not used for any demanding purposes, such viewing objects in space by professional astronomers.

What is the mass of an object that requires a force of 182 N to accelerate at a rate of 13 m/s?

Inga [223]

Answer:

$m=14kg$

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the force is defined in terms of the mass and acceleration by:

$F=m*a$

We can easily compute the mass by solving for it:

$m=\frac{F}{a}$

Whereas the force is 182 N (kg*m/s²) and the acceleration is 13 m/s², therefore, we obtain:

$m=\frac{182kg\frac{m}{s^2} }{13\frac{m}{s^2}}\\\\m=14kg$

Best regards.

A rubber balloon is filled with 1 L of air at 1 atm and 300 K and is then put into a cryogenic refrigerator at 100 K. The rubber

Kipish [7]

Answer:

The correct answers are

(a) It decreases to 1/3 L

(ii) is (c) It is constant

Explanation:

to solve this, we list out the number of knowns and unknowns so as to determine the correct equation to solve the problem

The given variables are as follows

Initial volume V1 = 1L

V2 = Unknown

Initial Temperature T1 = 300K

let us assume that the balloon is perfectly elastic

At 300K the balloon is filled and it stretches to maintain 1 atmosphere

at 100K the content of the balloon cools reducing the excitement of the gas content which also reduces the pressure, however, the balloon being perfectly elastic, contracts to maintain the 1 atmospheric pressure, hence the answer to (ii) is (c) It is constant,

For (i) since we know that the pressure of the balloon is constant

by Charles Law V1/T1 =V2/T2

or V2 = (V1/T1)×T2 = $\frac{1L}{300K}$ × $100K$ = $\frac{1}{3}$ × L = L/3 hence the correct answer to (i) is 1/3L

A 5 kg mass is oscillating on a spring with a time period of 2.8 seconds. What is the spring constant k of the spring?

katrin [286]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Simple Harmonic Oscillator</u>

It consists of a weight attached to one end of a spring being allowed to move forth and back.

If m is the mass of the weight and k is the constant of the spring, the period of the oscillation is given by:

$\displaystyle T=2\pi {\sqrt {\frac {m}{k}}}$

If the period is known, we can find the value of the constant by solving for k:

$\displaystyle k=m\left(\frac{2\pi}{T}\right)^2$

Substituting the given values m=5 Kg and T=2.8 seconds:

$\displaystyle k=5 \left(\frac{2\pi}{2.8}\right)^2$

k = 25.18 N/m

Who is your favorite fictional character and why? Who is your favorite non-fictional person and why?

Andru [333]

My favorite fictional character is definitely Eren from Attack on Titan because he is strong, caring, and protects the people he loves

My least favorite is Bakugo from My Hero Academia because he is toxic, lowdown, and has severe anger issues.
