tankabanditka [31]4 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Radio Telescope:

1. FAST (Five Hundred Meter Aperture Spherical Telescope), China is the largest single dish radio telescope in the world with a dish of diameter 500 meters. Although its construction is over but its not yet functional.

2. Arecibo Observatory, Puerto Rico is the largest single dish <em>operational</em> radio telescope having a single dish of diameter 305 meters..

X - ray Telescope: Chandra X ray observatory also known as Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility (AXAF) is the largest x-ray telescope with aperture of 1.2 meters. It can detect X-ray sources which are 100 times fainter in comparison to any previous telescope.

Gamma ray telescope: Fermi Gamma ray telescope is the largest gamma ray telescope.

A car accelerates uniformly in a straight line
kotegsom [21]

The car covers a distance <em>d</em> after time <em>t</em> of

<em>d</em> = (2.8 m/s²) <em>t</em>²

Solve for <em>t</em> when <em>d</em> = 69 m:

69 m = (2.8 m/s²) <em>t</em>²

<em>t</em>² = (69 m) / (2.8 m/s²)

<em>t</em> ≈ 4.96 s

Tell me about Orion nebula
RSB [31]
Is the most intensely studied celestial feature. It has also help revealed much about the process of how stars and planetary systems are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust. It is also the closest large star-forming region to Earth. The Orion Nebula is an enormous cloud of gas and dust, is located in our galaxy (Milky Way).

A mile is equivalent to 1.6 km. When you are driving at 60 miles per hour, what is your speed in meters per second?
yKpoI14uk [10]
FIrst, just write down what we know :)

1. 1 mile = 1.6klm
2. There are 3600 seconds in an hr (<em>60s x 60mins = 3600</em>).

Now to get to <em>meters per second</em> (m/s) we need to first work out <em>meters per </em><em>hr</em> (simply convert miles to klm and then multiply by 1000)<em>.</em>

60 x 1.6 = 96 klm/hr x 1000 = 96,000 meters/hr

Now we know this, we can simply divide the meters per hr by <em>how many seconds there are in 1hr</em> to get meters per second:

96000 / 3600 = 26.67m/s

Astronomers know that the distance between the Earth and the Sun averages 1.50 x108 km. How can astronomers use the observed ste
rodikova [14]

Answer:

The distance of stars and the earth can be averagely measured by using the knowledge of geometry to estimate the stellar parallax angle(p).

From the equation below, the stars distances can be calculated.

D = 1/p

Distance = 1/(parallax angle)

Stellar parallax can be used to determine the distance of stars from an observer, on the surface of the earth due to the motion of the observer. It is the relative or apparent angular displacement of the star, due to the displacement of the observer.

Explanation:

Parallax is the observed apparent change in the position of an object resulting from a change in the position of the observer. Specifically, in the case of astronomy it refers to the apparent displacement of a nearby star as seen from an observer on Earth.

The parallax of an object can be used to approximate the distance to an object using the formula:

D = 1/p

Where p is the parallax angle observed using geometry and D is the actual distance measured in parsecs. A parsec is defined as the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. This distance is approximately 3.26 light years
