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.

A wagon is accelerating down a hill. Which statement is true?

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases.

Potential energy is related to the height, since the wagon is going downhill, height decreases and potential energy decreases.

Kinetic energy is related to the speed, since the wagon is speeding up, kinetic energy increases.

An 89 kg man drops from rest on a diving board −3.1 m above the surface of the water and comes to rest 0.5 s after reaching the

OLga [1]

To solve this problem we will use the linear motion kinematic equations, for which the change of speed squared with the acceleration and the change of position. The acceleration in this case will be the same given by gravity, so our values would be given as,

$m= 89 kg\\x = 3.1 m\\t = 0.5s\\a = g = 9.8m/s^2$

Through the aforementioned formula we will have to

$v_f^2-v_i^2 = 2ax$

The particulate part of the rest, so the final speed would be

$v_f^2 = 2gx$

$v_f=\sqrt{2(9.8)(3.1)}$

$v_f = 7.79m/s$

Now from Newton's second law we know that

$F = ma$

Here,

m = mass

a = acceleration, which can also be written as a function of velocity and time, then

$F = m\frac{dv}{dt}$

Replacing we have that,

$F = (89)\frac{7.79}{0.5}$

$F = 1386.62N$

Therefore the force that the water exert on the man is 1386.62

1. The horizontal and vertical components of a projectile's velocity are

Anni [7]

The horizontal and vertical components of a projectile's velocity are independent of each other.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The path of a projectile is determined by two components of motion. They are termed as horizontal and the vertical components. Since both components velocity are perpendicular to each other, so it can stated that they are independent of each other.

Even it can seen that when the horizontal components of velocity is constant, then there will be change in the vertical components of velocity leading to free fall projectile path.

And in the absence of gravity, there will be change in the horizontal components of velocity with zero vertical component of velocity. Thus, the horizontal and the vertical components of a projectile’s velocity are seemed to be independent of each other.

7. A beam of light converges at a point P. Now a lens is placed in the path of the convergent

Rudiy27

Answer:

Lens at a distance = 7.5 cm

Lens at a distance = 6.86 cm (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Object distance u = 12 cm

a) Focal length = 20 cm

b) Focal length = 16 cm

Computation:

a. 1/v = 1/u + 1/f

1/v = 1/20 + 1/12

v = 7.5 cm

Lens at a distance = 7.5 cm

b. 1/v = 1/u + 1/f

1/v = 1/16 + 1/12

v = 6.86 cm (Approx)

Lens at a distance = 6.86 cm (Approx)
