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

Physics
1 answer:
MrRa [10]3 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

What is the impulse of a 3 kg object that starts from rest and moves to 20 m/s?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The impulse on the object is 60Ns.

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as the product of the force applied on an object and the time at which it acts. It is also the change in the momentum of a body.

F = m a

F = m(\frac{v_{2}  - v_{1} }{t})

⇒     Ft = m(v_{2} - v_{1})

where: F is the dorce on the object, t is the time at which it acts, m is the mass of the object, v_{1} is its initialvelocity and v_{2} is the final velocity of the object.

Therefore,

impulse = Ft = m(v_{2} - v_{1})

From the question, m = 3kg, v_{1} = 0m/s and v_{2} = 20m/s.

So that,

Impulse = 3 (20 - 0)

             = 3(20)

             = 60Ns

The impulse on the object is 60Ns.

3. How do astronomers explain the lack of a meteorite in Tunguska? What evidence exists to support this
Vaselesa [24]
No traces of a meteorite were found, it many scientists concluded that the culprit was a comet. Comets, which are essentially muddy ice balls, could cause such a devastation and leave no trace.

But now, 105 years later, scientists have revealed that the Tunguska devastation was indeed caused by a meteorite. A group of Ukrainian, German, and American scientists have identified its microscopic remains. Why it took them so many years makes for a fascinating tale about the limits of science and how we are pushing them.

Range of motion is the distance an object can travel when separated from another object. Please select the best answer from the
Lady_Fox [76]
Based on the given statement above, the correct answer would be FALSE. It is not true that range of motion is the distance an object can travel when separated from another object because range of motion or ROM is the distance--linear or angular--<span>that a movable object may normally travel while properly ATTACHED (not separated) to another. Hope this answer helps.</span>
