Rocket fuel will and smoke will emit from the thrusters.
I do not know what the school expects as an answer, but advantage of reflecting telescopes is that there is only one major reflecting surface, so it is quite easy to create a 6 or 8 inch telescope by an amateur, after adding on a prism and an eyepiece. (a microscope eyepiece could be used).
MY answer would be "easier to build". (it still takes tens of hours to grind and polish the single plane surface to a parabolic surface).
Electromagnetic waves all have the same velocity in the same medium. However, since frequencies vary widely, so do wavelengths.
Answer:
70.5 mph
Explanation:
A passenger jet travels from Los Angeles to Bombay, India, in 22h.
The return flight takes 17 h.
The difference in flight times is caused by winds over the Pacific Ocean that
blow primarily from west to east.
If the jet's average speed in still air is 550 mi/h what is the average speed
of the wind during the round trip flight? Round to the nearest mile per hour.
Is your answer reasonable?
:
Let w = speed of the wind
:
Write a distance equation (dist is the same both ways
17(550+w) = 22(550-w)
9350 + 17w = 12100 - 22w
17w + 22w = 12100 - 9350
39w = 2750
W = 2750/39
w = 70.5 mph seems very reasonable
:
Confirming if the solution by finding the distances using these value
17(550+70.5) = 10549 mi
22(550-70.5) = 10549 mi; confirms our solution of w = 70.5 mph
