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

Two bodies of masses 1000kg and 2000kg are separated 1km which is the gravitational force between them
denpristay [2]

Answer:

1.33×10⁻¹⁰ N

Explanation:

F = GMm / r²

where G is the gravitational constant,

M and m are the masses of the objects,

and r is the distance between them.

F = (6.67×10⁻¹¹ N/m²/kg²) (1000 kg) (2000 kg) / (1000 m)²

F = 1.33×10⁻¹⁰ N

Answer:

120 miles per hour.

Explanation:

We need to find the time it takes my parents to drive home from the cottage. Since my father drives at 60 miles per hour, and the cottage is 240 miles from our home, and distance = speed × time. So, time = distance/speed = 240 mi/60 mi/h = 4 h.

So, it will take my father 4 hours to drive home from the cottage.

Since I have 2 hours to prepare for the party, the time left for me to drive to the cottage is 4 - 2 hrs = 2 hrs.

So, I'm supposed to drive to the cottage in at most 2 hours.

The speed at which I must drive in this time period is thus,  speed = distance/time = 240 miles/2 hours = 120 miles per hour.

So, I must drive at a minimum speed of 120 miles per hour.
