Answer:

m = 82.1 kg

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use Hook's law that states that the force exerted by a spring is proportional to the displacement

        Fe = -k x

Let's use Newton's second law to establish equilibrium, the elastic force up and the body weight down

       Fe - W = 0

       Fe = W = mg

       k x = m g

       m = k x / g

Let's reduce the distance to SI units

       x = 25 cm (1 m / 100cm) = 0.250 m

      m = 3220 0.250 /9.8

      m = 82.1 kg

Ground-based radio telescopes can collect data from distant objects in space
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

A.  during the day or night and in any weather conditions.

Explanation:

Ground-based radio telescopes can be used to collect data from distant objects in space during the day or night in any weather condition.

They do not depend or are they affected by weather and they pass well through them.

  • Telescopes are devices used to obtain information about distant bodies usually astronomical in nature.
  • Optical telescopes use the visible range of light and they are overwhelmed by the sun during the day.
  • Bad weather conditions can also diminish the reception of light.
  • They work best at night.
  • Radio telescopes uses electromagnetic radiations and can work at any time and during any weather.
