Answer: a.The mirrors and eyepiece of a large telescope are spring-loaded to allow them to return quickly to a known position. </h2>
Explanation:
Adaptive optics is a method used in several astronomical observatories to counteract in real time the effects of the Earth's atmosphere on the formation of astronomical images.
This is done through the insertion into the optical path of the telescope of sophisticated deformable mirrors supported by a set of computationally controlled actuators. Thus obtaining clear images despite the effects of atmospheric turbulence that cause the unwanted distortion.
It should be noted that with this technique it is also necessary to have a moderately bright reference star that is very close to the object to be observed and studied. However, it is not always possible to find such stars, so a powerful laser beam is used to point towards the Earth's upper atmosphere and create artificial stars.
The mass of the ion is 5.96 X 10⁻²⁵ kg
<u>Explanation:</u>
The electrical energy given to the ion Vq will be changed into kinetic energy
As the ion moves with velocity v in a magnetic field B then the magnetic Lorentz force Bqv will be balanced by centrifugal force .
So,
and
Right from these eliminating v, we can derive
On substituting the value, we get:
m = 5.96 X 10⁻²⁵ kg.
Answer:
32.3 m/s
Explanation:
The ball follows a projectile motion, where:
- The horizontal motion is a uniform motion at costant speed
- The vertical motion is a free fall motion (constant acceleration)
We start by analyzing the horizontal motion. The ball travels horizontally at constant speed of
and it covers a distance of
d = 165 m
So, the total time of flight of the ball is
In order to find the vertical velocity of the ball, we have now to analyze its vertical motion.
The vertical motion is a free-fall motion, so the ball is falling at constant acceleration; therefore we can use the following suvat equation:
where
is the vertical velocity at time t
is the initial vertical velocity
is the acceleration of gravity (taking downward as positive direction)
Substituting t = 3.3 s (the time of flight), we find the final vertical velocity of the ball:
