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 meant by fundamental unit? write any two difference between mass and weight.​
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Fundamental unit is any unit that is not dependent on other units and other units can be derived from them

Explanation:

Units such as Kilogram, Mass and Time are said to be fundamental units because they are independent.

Differences between Mass and weight;

1. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in a body while weight is a measure of how the force of gravity acts upon that mass.

2. Mass is a scalar quantity while weight is a vector quantity

During an episode of turbulence in an airplane you feel 210 n heavier than usual.if your mass is 72 kg, what are the magnitude a
lana66690 [7]
According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the net force experienced by the system is equal to the mass of the system in question times the acceleration in motion. In this case, the net force is the difference of gravitational force and the force experience by the motion of the airplane. This difference is already given to be 210 N.

Net force = ma
210 N = (73 kg)(a)
a = +2.92 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration of the airplane's motion is 2.92 m/s² to the positive direction which is upwards.

A thin, taut string tied at both ends and oscillating in its third harmonic has its shape described by the equation y(x, t) = (5
barxatty [35]

Answer:

A thin, taut string tied at both ends and oscillating in its third harmonic has its shape described by the equation y(x,t)=(5.60cm)sin[(0.0340rad/cm)x]sin[(50.0rad/s)t]y(x,t)=(5.60cm)sin[(0.0340rad/cm)x]sin[(50.0rad/s)t], where the origin is at the left end of the string, the x-axis is along the string, and the y-axis is perpendicular to the string. (a) Draw a sketch that shows the standing-wave pattern. (b) Find the amplitude of the two traveling waves that make up this standing wave. (c) What is the length of the string? (d) Find the wavelength, frequency, period, and speed of the traveling waves. (e) Find the maximum transverse speed of a point on the string. (f) What would be the equation y(x, t) for this string if it were vibrating in its eighth harmonic?

On a balanced seesaw, a boy three times as heavy as his partner sits
slega [8]

Answer:

1/3 the distance from the fulcrum

Explanation:

On a balanced seesaw, the torques around the fulcrum calculated on one side and on another side must be equal. This means that:

W_1 d_1 = W_2 d_2

where

W1 is the weight of the boy

d1 is its distance from the fulcrum

W2 is the weight of his partner

d2 is the distance of the partner from the fulcrum

In this problem, we know that the boy is three times as heavy as his partner, so

W_1 = 3 W_2

If we substitute this into the equation, we find:

(3 W_2) d_1 = W_2 d_2

and by simplifying:

3 d_1 = d_2\\d_1 = \frac{1}{3}d_2

which means that the boy sits at 1/3 the distance from the fulcrum.
