What kind of visible-light and infrared telescopes on the ground are astronomers planning for the future? Why are they building

them on the ground and not in space?

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.

At the same moment, one rock is dropped and one is theown downwand with an iniial velocily of 29 us frm op of a building that is
Helen [10]

Answer:

The thrown rock will strike the ground 2.42s earlier than the dropped rock.

Explanation:

<u>Known Data</u>

  • y_{i}=300m
  • y_{f}=0m
  • v_{iD}=0m/s
  • v_{iT}=-29m/s, it is negative as is directed downward

<u>Time of the dropped Rock</u>

We can use y_{f}=y_{i}+v_{iy}t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}, to find the total time of fall, so 0=300m-\frac{(9.8m/s^{2})t_{D}^{2}}{2}, then clearing for t_{D}.

t_{D}=\sqrt[2]{\frac{300m}{4.9m/s^{2}}} =\sqrt[2]{61.22s^{2}} =7.82s

<u>Time of the Thrown Rock</u>

We can use y_{f}=y_{i}+v_{iy}t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}, to find the total time of fall, so 0=300-29t_{T}-\frac{(9.8)t_{T}^{2}}{2}, then, 0=-4.9t_{T}^{2}-29t_{T}+300, as it is a second-grade polynomial, we find that its positive root is t_{T}=5.4s

Finally, we can find how much earlier does the thrown rock strike the ground, so t_{E}=t_{D}-t_{T}=7.82s-5.4s=2.42s

How does the law of conservation of energy apply to machines?
allsm [11]
Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. ... This principle is referred to as the first law of thermodynamics or the law of energy conservation. The law applies to all systems both large and small, and, again, it states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.

What is the relationship between inertia and mass?
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The greater the mass, the greater the inertia, and vice versa.

Remark: This means that a more massive object has a greater tendency to resist a change in its state of rest or motion.

A gun fires a bullet vertically into a 1.40-kg block of wood at rest on a thin horizontal sheet. If the bullet has a mass of 22.
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

A. 1.172 metres

B. 6.82 Ns

C. 4.796 m/s

Explanation:

The total initial momentum is gotten by multiplying the mass and initial velocity of the both bodies.

The 1.40 kg block is at rest so velocity is zero and has no momentum.

The bullet of mass 22 g = 0.022 kg with velocity of 310 m/s

Momentum = 310*0.022

Momentum = 6.82 Ns.

If the bullet gets embedded they will both have common velocity v

6.82 = (0.022+1.40)v

6.82 = 1.422v

V = 6.82/1.422

V = 4.796 m/s

How high the block will rise after the bullet is embedded is given by

H = (U²Sin²tita)/2g

Where tita is 90°

H = (4.796² * sin²(90))/(2*9.81)

H =( 23.001616*1)/19.62

H = 1.172 metres
