11. Reflecting telescopes are popular because they're _______ than a refracting telescope.

2 answers:

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.

Explanation:

We know that the sky appears to us like a sphere called as celestial sphere which appears to rotate around an imaginary axis because of Earth's rotation. Since the axis cuts the celestial sphere at celestial poles all the object seems to circle around the celestial poles.

Condition 1: The stars rise and set perpendicular to the horizon

The observer is at the equator

Condition 2: The stars circle the sky parallel to the horizon

The observer is at the Pole of the Earth

Condition 3: The celestial equator passes through the zenith

The observer is at the equator

Condition 4: In the course of a year, all stars are visible

The observer is at the equator

Condition 5: The Sun rises on March 21 and does not set until September 21 (ideally)

The observer is at North Pole

A space vehicle of mass m has a speed v. At some instant, it separates into two pieces, each of mass 0.5m. One of the pieces is

Damm [24]

Answer:

W = ½ m v²

Explanation:

In this exercise we must solve it in parts, in a first part we use the conservation of the moment to find the speed after the separation

We define the system formed by the two parts of the rocket, therefore the forces during internal separation and the moment are conserved

initial instant. before separation

p₀ = m v

final attempt. after separation

$p_{f}$ = m /2 0 + m /2 v_{f}

p₀ = p_{f}

m v = m /2 $v_{f}$

v_{f}= 2 v

this is the speed of the second part of the ship

now we can use the relation of work and energy, which establishes that the work is initial to the variation of the kinetic energy of the body

initial energy

K₀ = ½ m v²

final energy

$K_{f}$ = ½ m/2 0 + ½ m/2 v_{f}²

K_{f} = ¼ m (2v)²

K_{f} = m v²

the expression for work is

W = ΔK = K_{f} - K₀

W = m v² - ½ m v²

W = ½ m v²
