To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to optical magnification (is the process of enlarging the apparent size, not physical size, of something.). Specifically the angular magnification of an optical telescope is given by

M = -\frac{f_o}{f_e}

Where,

f_o = Focal length of the objective lens in a refractor

f_e = Focal length of the eyepiece

Our values are given as

f_o = 71cm

f_e =  2.1cm

Replacing we have

M = -\frac{f_o}{f_e}

M = -\frac{71}{2.1}

M = - 33.81

Therefore the magnification of this astronomical telescope is -33.81

Soloha48 [4]

An object with non-zero mass (even negligible mass is non-zero) will never reach the speed of light. Due to relativistic effects, each "unit" of acceleration becomes less effective at increasing your velocity (relative to some other object, of course) as your relative velocity approaches the speed of light.

And even if there was a way, If you would accelerate to the 99,99% of the speed light in just 1 second, you would experience a G-force of aprox. 30,600,000 g's which is enough to kill you in a few seconds

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

superscript

Explanation:

When looking at the chemical symbol, the charge of the ion is displayed as the Superscript. This is because the charge of ions is usually written up on the chemical symbol while the atom/molecule is usually written down the chemical symbol. The superscript refers to what is written up on the formula while the subscript is written down on the formula.

An example is H2O . The 2 present represents two molecule of oxygen and its written as the subscript while Fe2+ in which the 2+ is written up is known as the superscript.

Define the Element of Art, value. If you were using a pencil, how would you create a darker value?
ankoles [38]

Elements of art are stylistic features that are included within an art piece to help the artist communicate. The seven most common elements include line, shape, texture, form, space, colour and value, with the additions of mark making, and materiality.

You would create a darker value if you shaded it, shading it makes it darker.
