Suppose astronomers built a 150-meter telescope. how much greater would its light-collecting area be than that of the 10-meter k
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Almost all telescopes have a circular mirror. The area of a circle is proportional to r^2 where r is the radius of the circle, the constant of proportionality being 4\pi
S =4\pi r^2
Therefore the area of 150 meter telescope would be 
S_1/S_2=(r_1/r_2)^2 =(75/5)^2 =15^2=225
times bigger than the area of the smaller (10 meter) telescope.

A 2-kg cart, traveling on a horizontal air track with a speed of 3m/s, collides with a stationary 4-kg cart. The carts stick tog
ladessa [460]

Answer:

The impulse exerted by one cart on the other has a magnitude of 4 N.s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first cart, m₁ = 2 kg

initial speed of the first car, u₁ = 3 m/s

mass of the second cart, m₂ = 4 kg

initial speed of the second cart, u₂ = 0

Let the final speed of both carts = v, since they stick together after collision.

Apply the principle of conservation of momentum to determine v

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

2 x 3 + 0 = v(2 + 4)

6 = 6v

v = 1 m/s

Impulse is given by;

I = ft = mΔv = m(

The impulse exerted by the first cart on the second cart is given;

I = 2 (3 -1 )

I = 4 N.s

The impulse exerted by the second cart on the first cart is given;

I = 4(0-1)

I = - 4 N.s (equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the impulse exerted by the first).

Therefore, the impulse exerted by one cart on the other has a magnitude of 4 N.s.
