Listed following are the names and mirror diameters for six of the world’s greatest reflecting telescopes used to gather visible

light. Rank the telescopes from left to right based on their light-collecting area from largest to smallest. For telescopes with more than one mirror, rank based on the combined light-collecting area of the mirrors.
- Large binocular telescope with two 8.4 m mirrors
- Keck 1 one 10 - m mirror
- Hobby-Ebberly one 9.2-m mirror
- Subaru one 8.3 m mirror
- Gemini North one 8-m mirror
- Magellan 2 one 6.5 m mirorr

Answer:

Large binocular telescope, Keck 1 telescope, Hobby-Ebberly telescope, Subaru telescope, Gemini North telescope, Magellan 2 telescope

Explanation:

How much light a telescope can collect depends on its diameter, since in a bigger area more photons will be collected.    

Remember that in a circle the area is defined as:

A = \pi r^{2}  (1)

Where A is the area and r is its radius.

However, the radius can be determined by means of its diameter.

     

d = 2r

r = \frac{d}{2} (1)

Where d is its diameter.

An example of this is when a person is collecting raindrops with a bucket and with a cup. Since the bucket has a bigger area than the cup, it will collect more raindrops by unit of time. In this scenario the raindrops represent the photons.  

   

To determine the light collecting area of each telescope, equation 2 will be replaced in equation 1.

A = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2}  (3)

Case for Large binocular telescope:

A_{mirror1} = \pi (\frac{8.4m}{2})^{2}    

A_{mirror1} = 55.41m        

For the second mirror will be the same value

A = A_{mirror1}+A_{mirror2}  

A = 55.41m+55.41m

A= 110.82m

Case for Keck 1 telescope:

A = \pi (\frac{10m}{2})^{2}    

A = 78.53m  

Case for Hobby-Ebberly telescope:

A = \pi (\frac{9.2m}{2})^{2}    

A = 66.47m  

Case for Subaru telescope:

A = \pi (\frac{8.3m}{2})^{2}    

A = 54.10m  

Case for Gemini North telescope:

A = \pi (\frac{8m}{2})^{2}    

A = 50.26m  

Case for Magellan 2 telescope:

A = \pi (\frac{6.5m}{2})^{2}    

A = 33.18m  

Hence, they may be rank in the following way:

Large binocular telescope, Keck 1 telescope, Hobby-Ebberly telescope, Subaru telescope, Gemini North telescope, Magellan 2 telescope.

Explain how you find the density of a liquid subtance example corn syrup
STatiana [176]
Use the density formula:

Mass of the substance
————————————
Volume of the substance

This gives you the density.


Corn syrup has a density of about 1.4 grams per cubic centimeter, and has the highest density of all liquids!

Hope this helps!

The vertical component of the projectile motion of an object depends on which of these? initial velocity or angel of trajectory
SVEN [57.7K]
It depends on both of them.

In fact, the projectile begins its motion with an initial velocity of v_0 and an angle of \alpha. On the y-axis (vertical direction), it is an accelerated motion with acceleration equal to -g (gravitational acceleration). The vertical velocity of the projectile at any time t is given by
v_y (t) = v_0 sin \alpha + gt
and as it can be seen, this depends on both initial velocity and angle.

Question #6a) You were told to assume that the ball bounced to a height of 1.2 m and that the distance between the bounces measu
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the problem they give the case of a ball that bounces on the vertical axis the height is getting smaller, on the x axis it is the same distance all the time.

Questions about the aspect of the x-axis

- Since the distance traveled between the rebounds is the same, the speed must be the same or constant throughout the entire journey.

- Since the distance and speed are equal, the time between rebounds is the same

- There can be no acceleration because the bounce gap should change, the acceleration is zero all the time

Questions about the Y axis

- The vertical speed of the first boat would be the greatest of all, so it has the highest height

b) Evidence or not Evidence

1  evidence, because the graphs are different, one is a straight line and he gives a parable

2 no evidence, nothing involved on the x axis

3  no evidence, the acceleration on the y axis is independent of the acceleration on the x axis

4  no evidence, the time that is cast is the only change that is the same for both movements

5  evidence, the fact that no mixture of components is found allows the variable to be separated into different equations

6  no evidence, says nothing about the x-axis
