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

1 answer:

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

use the instantaneous center of zero velocity to determine the angular velocity !ab of link ab and the velocity vb of collar b f

allsm [11]

Instantaneous center:

It is the center about a body moves in planer motion. The velocity of Instantaneous center is zero and Instantaneous center can be lie out side or inside the body. About this center every particle of a body rotates.

From the diagram

Where these two lines will cut then it will the I-Center.Point A and B is moving perpendicular to the point I.

If we take three link link1,link2 and link3 then I center of these three link will be in one straight line It means that they will be co-linear.

Therefore, when the mass is at its equilibrium position (which corresponds to x=0), the velocity of the mass will be maximum.
