Which type of telescope focuses star light using mirrors?

1 answer:

7 0

Coudé telescopes use a convex secondary mirror like a Cassegrain and an angled mirror like a Newtonian reflector to move the light rays to a focal point away from the telescope. This arrangement is useful when optical equipment is being used that is too heavy to mount directly on the telescope.

Charge is placed on two conducting spheres that are very far apart and connected by a long thin wire. The radius of the smaller

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

surface charge density on each sphere is $440 \times 10^{-9}$ C

Explanation:

given data

radius of smaller sphere = 5 cm

radius of larger sphere is 12 cm

electric field at surface of larger sphere = 660 kV/m = 660 × 1000 v/m

solution

we apply here electric field formula that is express as

E = $(\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon })\times (\frac{Q_{1} }{R^{2} } )$ .................1

put here value

660000 = $9 \times 10^9 \times \frac{Q1}{0.12^2}$

Q1 = 1056 × $10^{-9}$

and

here field inside a conductor is zero so that electric potential ( V ) is constant

$\frac{Q{1} }{R} = \frac{Q{2} }{r}$ ..................2

so Q2 will be

Q2 = $\frac{5}{12} \times 1056 \times 10^{-9}$

Q2 = $440 \times 10^{-9}$ C

If your speedometer has an uncertainty of 2.5 km/h at a speed of 92 km/h, what is the percent uncertainty

Elis [28]

Answer:

2.7%

Explanation:

Given:

Uncertainty of the speedometer (u)= 2.5km/h

Speed measured at that uncertainty (v) = 92km/h

Percent uncertainty (p) is given as the ratio of the uncertainty to the speed measured then multiplied by 100%. i.e

p = $\frac{u}{v} * 100$ %

p = $\frac{2.5}{92} * 100$ %

p = 2.7%

Therefore, the percent uncertainty is 2.7%

A psychologist is interested in exploring the effect tutorial support on students academic performance and assign students in to

NikAS [45]

Answer:

The dependent variable is academic performance

The independent variable is the presence/absence of tutorial support

The control group are students who did not get the tutorial support.

The experimental group were students that got the tutorial support

Explanation:

In every experiment, there is a dependent and independent variable as well as an experimental and a control group.

The experimental group receive the treatment while the control group do not receive the treatment. The independent variable is manipulated and its impact on the dependent variable is evaluated.

The control group are students who did not receive the tutorial support while the experimental group are students that received the tutorial support.

The dependent variable in this case is academic performance. Its outcome depends on the presence or absence of tutorial support (independent variable).

What must be the length of a simple pendulum if its oscillation frequency is to be equal to that of an air-track glider of mass

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

the length of the simple pendulum is 0.25 m.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the air-track glider, m = 0.25 kg

spring constant, k = 9.75 N/m

let the length of the simple pendulum = L

let the frequency of the air-track glider which is equal to frequency of simple pendulum = F

The oscillation frequency of air-track glider is calculated as;

$F = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\F = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{9.75}{0.25} } \\\\F = 0.994 \ Hz$

The frequency of the simple pendulum is given as;

$F = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{l} } \\\\2\pi(F) = \sqrt{\frac{g}{l} } \\\\2\pi (0.994) = \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{l} } \\\\6.2455 = \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{l} } \\\\(6.2455)2 = \frac{9.8}{l} \\\\39.006 = \frac{9.8}{l} \\\\l = \frac{9.8}{39.006} \\\\l = 0.25 \ m$

Thus, the length of the simple pendulum is 0.25 m.
