tankabanditka [31]3 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.

What is the entropy of isolated system?
melamori03 [73]

Answer: Entropy is the measure of the disorder of a system

Explanation:

Entropy is a thermodynamic quantity defined as a criterion to predict the evolution or transformation of thermodynamic systems. In addition, it is used to measure the degree of organization of a system.

In other words: Entropy is the measure of the disorder of a system and is a function of state. That is, it depends only on the state of the system.  

However, in the case of an isolated system in an <u>irreversible process</u>, the value of entropy increases in the course of a process that occurs naturally. While in a <u>reversible process</u> the entropy of the isolated system remains constant.

Thick rubber gloves prevent electric shock because​
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Rubber is an insulator.

Explanation:

Rubber is an insulator. Electricity will always travel "the path of least resistance." Rubber has a very high resistance, so electricity will go somewhere else to find ground.

A ball is thrown upward at a 45° angle. Inthe absence of air resistance, the ballfollows aA. tangential curve.B. sine curve.C. p
Evgesh-ka [11]

As ball is projected up in air at an angle of 45 degree without any air resistance

Let the initial speed will be v

now we will have

In x direction

v_x = v cos45

in y direction

v_y = vsin45

now displacement in x direction

x = (vcos45)t + 0

displacement in y direction

y = (vsin45)t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

now from above two equations we have

y = (vsin45)\frac{x}{vcos45} - \frac{1}{2}g(\frac{x}{vcos45})^2

y = xtan45 - \frac{1}{2v^2cos^245}gx^2

so above equation is a quadratic equation and hence it will be a parabolic curve

so correct answer will be

<em>C. parabolic curve.</em>
