Answer:

Sharper images will be produced by the new telescopes.

Construction and maintenance is expensive

Explanation:

The telescopes are put in space so that unfiltered light is received by the telescope. Telescopes on Earth receive light after the light has passed through our atmosphere. This affects the final image of the telescope.

Some of the telescopes being planned in the future are the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) with mirror aperture diameter of 39.3 m, Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) with mirror aperture diameter of 30 m, Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) with mirror aperture diameter of 24.5 m. These mirrors have a significantly larger mirror aperture diameter than the space telescopes. The ELT will be able to produce an image 16 times sharper than the Hubble Telescope. It is also very expensive to make an maintain a telescope in space.

Keeping all this in mind the new telescopes are being made on Earth.

Why is Energy not created nor destroyed?<br> (Need the answer ASAP!!)
eduard

Since both heat and work can be measured and quantified, this is the same as saying that any change in the energy of a system must result in a corresponding change in the energy of the surroundings outside the system. In other words, energy cannot be created or destroyed.

In Challenge Example 11.9 (p. 280), after the explosion, suppose that the m1 fragment shot directly north at 12 m/s and the m3 f
Inga [223]

The question is incomplete. The mass of the object is 10 gram and travelling at a speed of 2 m/s.

Solution:

It is given that mass of object before explosion is,m = 10 g

Speed of object before explosion, v = 2 m/s

Let $m_1, m_2 \text{ and}\ m_3$ be the masses of the three fragments.

Let $v_1, v_2 \text{ and}\ v_3$ be the velocities of the three fragments.

Therefore, according to the law of conservation of momentum,

$mv=m_1v_1 +m_2v_2+m_3v_3$

$10 \times 2  \hat i=3 \times 12 \hat{j} + 3(v_{2x} \hat{i}+v_{2y} \hat{j})-4 \times 9 \hat{j}$

So the x- component of the velocity of the m2 fragment after the explosion is,

$3v_{2x} = 20$

∴ $v_{2x} = 6.67 \ m/s$

A rocket on Earth experiences an upward applied force from its thrusters. As a result of this force, the rocket accelerates upwa
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

F=m(11.8m/s²)

For example, if m=10,000kg, F=118,000N.

Explanation:

There are only two vertical forces acting on the rocket: the force applied from its thrusters F, and its weight mg. So, we can write the equation of motion of the rocket as:

F-mg=ma

Solving for the force F, we obtain that:

F=ma+mg=m(a+g)

Since we know the values for a (2m/s²) and g (9.8m/s²), we have that:

F= m(2m/s^{2}+9.8m/s^{2})\\\\F=m(11.8m/s^{2})

From this relationship, we can calculate some possible values for F and m. For example, if m=10,000kg, we can obtain F:

F=(10,000kg)(11.8m/s^{2})\\\\F=118,000N

In this case, the force from the rocket's thrusters is equal to 118,000N.

A 20 kg bike accelerates at 10 m/s2. What was the force?
agasfer [191]

Answer:

200 N = 200 Newtons

Explanation:

Just use the formula F = m*a

F = Force in Newtons

m = mass and is 20 kg

a = acceleration and is 10 m/s^2

F = 20 * 10

F = 200 Newtons.
