A 20. cm telescope collects how many times the light collected by a 5.0 cm telescope?

Physics
1 answer:
MrRa [10]4 years ago
5 0
The light collected by a telescope is proportional to the area of the telescope.

The area of a telescope is π * (Diameter / 2) ^2 = π * (Diameter)^2 / 4.

So, for the 20.0 cm telescope, area = π * (20.0cm)^2 / 4.

And for the 5.0 cm telescope, area = π * (5.0 cm)^2 / 4

So, divide both expressions to find the ratio of collection of light of one telescope to the other:=> (20.0)^2 / (5.0)^2 = (20.0 / 5.0)^2 = 4^2 = 16

Then, the 20.0 cm telescope collects 16 times the ligth that the 5.0 cm telescope collect.    <--- answer

For a projectile launched horizontally, which of the following best describes the downward component of a projectile's velocity?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

C. The downward component of the projectile's velocity continually increases

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:  

- A uniform motion (with constant velocity) along the horizontal direction  

- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (equal to the acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction  

Here we want to study the downward component of the projectile's velocity. Since the vertical motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, the vertical velocity is given by:

v=u+at

where

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero since the projectile is fired horizontally)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 downward is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

So the equation becomes

v=gt

This means that

C. The downward component of the projectile's velocity continually increases

Because every second, it increases by 9.8 m/s in the downward direction.

The acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is 2.5 times what it is here on earth. An object weighing 347.9 N here on earth will
inessss [21]

Answer:  weight on Jupiter = 869.75 N

              mass  on Earth = mass on Jupiter = 35.5 Kg

Explanation:

W = mg

W = weight

m = mass

g = gravitational acceleration [ on the Earth, g₁ = 9,8 N/kg ]

On the Earth,

G₁ = m x g₁  = 347,9 N

On the Jupiter,

G₂ = mg₂  

mass on the Earth = mass on the Jupiter !  

m = G₁ : g = 347.9 N : 9,8 N/kg = 35.5 kg

G2 : G1 = 2.5

G₂ = 2,5 G₁ = 2,5 x 347.9 N =  869,75 N

A uniform rod of length 0.8 m and mass 1.4 kg, has two point masses at each end. The point mass on the left end has a mass 1.2 k
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.2(0) + 3(0.8) + 1.4(0.8/2) / (1.2 + 3 + 1.4) = 0.5285714... ≈ 0.53 m

If the element gallium has an atomic number of 31 and an atomic mass of 70, how many neutrons does it have?
Mumz [18]

Answer:

The answer is 39.

Explanation:

The atomic number refers to the number of protons and the atomic mass is the sum of the protons and neutrons. So, you would just do 70 - 31 and that gets you 39.

You go rock climbing with a pack that weighs 70 N and you reach a height of 30 m. how much work did you do to lift your pack? If
Vikentia [17]
When you climb, earth exerts gravitational force on pack in downward direction(pointing towards the center of earth).
In order to climb, you need to work against work done by gravity on the pack.
Hence work done by you = work done by gravity on pack 
                                        = Force x displacement = 70 x 30 = 2100 J.
 
So you need to do 2100 joules of work to lift your pack.

Power is the rate of work done.
Therefore power = work done by you/time(in seconds)
                            =     2100/600 =3.5 watts
