What are the two principle advantages of telescopes over eyes?
Stells [14]

Answer:

i) Telescopes can be used to view far distant objects but the human eye can't view far distant objects.

ii) Telescopes uses two convex lenses producing a magnified image while the human eye only possesses one convex lens (image seen are smaller than that viewed under telescopes)

Explanation:

The telescopes can be used to view far distant objects due to their presence of two convex lenses. The two convex lenses are the objective lens (lens closer to object) and the eye piece lens (lens closer to eye). The object to be viewed forms an intermediate image first before the final image is seen using the eye piece lens.

The human eye only possess one convex lens and as such cannot view far ranged objects.

An elevator is moving down with an acceleration of 3.36 m/s2.
sergeinik [125]

Answer : 413.44N

Here it is given that an elevator is moving down with an acceleration of 3.36 m/s² . And we are interested in finding out the apparent weight of a 64.2 kg man . For the diagram refer to the attachment .

  • From the elevator's frame ( non inertial frame of reference) , we would have to think of a pseudo force.
  • The direction of this force is opposite to the direction of acceleration the frame and its magnitude is equal to the product of mass of the concerned body with the acceleration of the frame .
  • When a elevator accelerates down , the weight recorded is less than the actual weight .

From the Free body diagram ,

\sf\longrightarrow Weight = mg - ma \\

\sf\longrightarrow Weight = m ( g - a ) \\

  • Mass of the man = 64.2 kg

\sf\longrightarrow Weight = 64.2( 9.8 - 3.36) N\\

\sf\longrightarrow Weight = 64.2 * 6.44 N\\

\sf\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{\bf Weight_{apparent}= 413.44 N }} \\

Eric has a mass of 19.0 kg on the earth. What is Eric's weight on earth? What is Eric's weight on Mars? where the acceleration o
Tom [10]

Answer:

Weight on Earth = We = 186.2 N

Weight on Mars = Wm = 70.94 N

Explanation:

The weight of an object is defined as the force applied on the object by the gravitational field. The magnitude of weight is given by the following formula:

W = mg

were,

W= Weight of Eric

m = mass of Eric

g = acceleration due to gravity

ON EARTH:

W = We = Eric's Weight on Earth = ?

m = Eric's Mass on Earth = 19 kg

ge = acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

We = (19 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>We = 186.2 N</u>

<u></u>

ON MARS:

W = Wm = Eric's Weight on Mars = ?

m = Eric's Mass on Mars = 19 kg

gm = acceleration due to gravity on Mars = 0.381(ge) = (0.381)9.8 m/s² = 3.733 m/s²

Therefore,

Wm = (19 kg)(3.733 m/s²)

<u>Wm = 70.94 N</u>

1 give reason
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

A. The melting of ice is both a desirable and undesirable change because, ice is needed to melt so as to make liquid water available for animal and plant use and consumption and also to release the energy used in the fusion process of ice formation. Melting of ice is undesirable because melting ice liberate water slowly, and the water liberated can erode surface soil. Melting ice reduces the available heat sink on earth and also reduces the available stored up fresh water supply on earth.

B. The appearance of hailey comet once every 72 year is a periodic change because it's motion around the solar system is repeated with time. The reason for this highly elliptical and eccentric path of motion is largely due to the gravitational effect of the sun and the planets on the comet.
