Answer:

The magnification of an astronomical telescope is -30.83.

Explanation:

The expression for the magnification of an astronomical telescope is as follows;

$M=-\frac{f_o}{f_e}$

Here, M is the magnification of an astronomical telescope, $f_e$ is the focal length of the eyepiece lens and $f_o$ is the focal length of the objective lens.

It is given in the problem that an astronomical telescope having a focal length of objective lens 74 cm and whose eyepiece has a focal length of 2.4 cm.

Put $f_o=74 cm$ and $f_e=2.4 cm$ in the above expression.

$M=-\frac{74}{2.4}$

M=-30.83

Therefore, the magnification of an astronomical telescope is -30.83.

The gravitational force of a star on an orbiting planet 1 is f1. planet 2, which is three times as massive as planet 1 and orbit

vovikov84 [41]

Gravitational force is given by, $F= G\frac{mM}{R^{2}}$

Where, m and M are the masses of the objects, R is the distance between them and G gravitational constant.

Gravitational force of the star on planet 1, $F_{1}= G\frac{m_{1}M}{R^{2}}$

Gravitational force of the star on planet 2, $F_{2}= G\frac{3m_{1}M}{(3R)^{2}}$

Ratio, $\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}= \frac{\frac{Gm_{1}M}{R^{2}}}{\frac{G3m_{1}M}{(3R)^{2}}}$

$\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}= \frac{3}{1}$

Therefore, the gravitational force of the star on the planet 1 is three times that on planet 2.

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts given in the balance of forces for the tangential force and the centripetal force. An easy way to detail this problem is through a free body diagram that describes the behavior of the body and the forces to which it is subject.

PART A) Normal Force.

$F_n = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

$N+mgcos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Here,

Normal reaction of the ring is N and velocity of the ring is v

$N+mgcos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

$N+Wcos\theta = \frac{W}{g} (\frac{v^2}{r})$

$N+2cos30\° = \frac{2}{32.2}*\frac{10^2}{2}$

$N = 1.374lb$

PART B) Acceleration

$F_t = ma_t$

$-mgsin\theta = ma_t$

$-W sin\theta = \frac{W}{g} a_t$

$-2Sin30\° = (\frac{2}{32.2})a_t$

$a_T = -16.10ft/s^2$

Negative symbol indicates deceleration.

Explain electric circuits. Be sure to include the features, the roles, and the types. Help PLEASEEEE!!

maksim [4K]

If there was any way to do that, then your teacher wouldn't
need to keep you coming into class every day and doing
homework every night. She could just give you the 3 or 4
paragraphs and a few pictures that you're asking me for,
and bada-bing ! you'd know it !

The time it takes, and the amount of homework it takes, is
EXACTLY the time you spent hearing about it in class.

(Unless you're some kind of genius savant prodigy, which
you're not and I'm not.)

(a) what will an object weigh on the moon's surface if it weighs 100 n on earth's surface

juin [17]

We know the equation

weight = mass × gravity

To work out the weight on the moon, we will need its mass, and the gravitational field strength of the moon.
Remember that your weight can change, but mass stays constant.

So using the information given about the earth weight, we can find the mass by substituting 100N for weight, and we know the gravity on earth is 10Nm*2 (Use the gravitational field strength provided by your school, I am assuming yours in 10Nm*2)

Therefore,

100N = mass × 10
mass= 100N/10
mass= 10 kg

Now, all we need are the moon's gravitational field strength and to apply this to the equation

weight = 10kg × (gravity on moon)
