Hello

The light-collecting area of a telescope goes as the square of its aperture. Calling A_1=110~m the aperture of the first telescope and A_2=10~m the aperture of the Keck telescope, the ratio between the light collected by the former and the latter is
r= \frac{A_1^2}{A_2^2}= \frac{(110~m)^2}{(10~m)^2}=121

Answer: 121 times greater

Explanation:

The light collecting area is directly proportional to square of aperture:

A ∝ l²

Aperture of Keck Telescope = l₁ = 10 m

Aperture of 11 m telescope, l₂ = 110 m

Light collecting area of Keck telescope = A₁

Light collecting area of 110 m telescope = A₂

A₁ ∝ l₁²

A₂ ∝ I₂²

A₂/A₁ = I₂²/ l₁² = (110 m)²/(10 m)² = 121/1

Thus, the light collecting area of 110 m telescope is 121 times greater than 10 m telescope.

calculate the electrical potential at a point P a distance of 1 m from either two to charge of +10 micro coulomb and -5 micro co
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

a)  V = 45 10³ V, b) U = 4.59 J

Explanation:

a) The electric potential for a series of point charges is

         V = k ∑ \frac{q_i}{r_i}

in this case point P is at a distance of 1 m from each charge, so the point is located perpendicular to the charges at its midpoint

 

         V = k ( \frac{q_1}{r} + \frac{q_2}{r})

         V = 9 10⁹ (10 - 5/ 1) 10⁻⁶

         V = 45 10³ V

b) the potential energy is

           U = k (  \frac{q_1q}{r} + \frac{q_2q}{r} + \frac{q_1q_2}{r_2} )

where r = 1m and r₂ is the distance between the two charges r₂ = 0.10 m

           U = 9 10⁹ (10 2 / 1 - 5 2/1 - 10 5 /0.10) 10⁻¹²

           U = 9 10⁻³  510

           U = 4.59 J

How do oxygen and beryllium atoms transform into oxygen ion O2- and Be2 beryllium ion Be2? tysm
Hoochie [10]
On the whole, the metals burn in oxygen to form a simple metal oxide. Beryllium is reluctant to burn unless it is in the form of dust or powder. Beryllium has a very strong (but very thin) layer of beryllium oxide on its surface, and this prevents any new oxygen getting at the underlying beryllium to react with it.

What is a materials ability to be dissolved in a solvent
weeeeeb [17]
Answer: Solubility

Solubility is the ability to be dissolved. Saturation is when the concentration is too high(more than solubility) that when you add another material it won't dissolve. Solute is the material that dissolved. Solvent is the material that used for dissolving

when a light bulb is turned on electrical energy is transformed into two other types of energy. What are they and support your a
Basile [38]

Answer:

In the case of an electric bulb, the electrical energy is converted to light and heat. The amount of electrical energy put into a bulb = the amount of light energy (desirable form) plus the heat energy that comes out of the bulb (undesirable form).
