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.

List the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing wavelength:(i) the gamma rays produced by a radioac
Naddik [55]

Answer:

In order of increasing wavelength, the answer is:

(i) The gamma rays produced by a radioactive nuclide used in medical imaging

(iv) The yellow light from sodium-vapor streetlights

(v) The red light of a light emitting diode, such as in a calculator display

(ii) Radiation from an FM radio station at 93.1 MHz on the dial

(iii) A radio signal from an AM radio station at 680kHz on the dial

Explanation:

First, you have to know that the wavelength of a sinusoidal wave traveling at a constant speed is given by:  

                                       λ = \frac{v}{f}

Where λ is the wavelength, v is the constant speed and f is the wave's frequency. In the case of electromagnetic radiation in free space, the constant speed is the speed of light.

From explained above, you can conclude that there is a proportionality relationship between the wavelength and the frequency, they are inversely proportional. That means: the highest frequency will have the shortest wavelength and vice-versa.

So, you have the following types:

(i) The gamma rays produced by a radioactive nuclide used in medical imaging

Frequency : Typically greater than 10^{19} Hz

(ii) Radiation from an FM radio station at 93.1 MHz on the dial

Frequency: 93.1 MHz

(iii) A radio signal from an AM radio station at 680 kHz on the dial

Frequency: 680 kHz

(iv) The yellow light from sodium-vapor streetlights

Frequency: Visible spectrum of approx. 508 - 526 THz

(v) The red light of a light-emitting diode, such as in a calculator display

Frequency: Visible spectrum of approx. 400 - 484 THz

Then, you have to organize them from the highest frequency to the smallest one (decreasing frequency), and as the highest frequency will have the shortest wavelength, you are going to have it organized in an increasing wavelength mode.

Then in order of increasing wavelength, the answer will be:

                                           (i) , (iv), (v), (ii), (iii)

A student conducts an experiment in which a cart is pulled by a variable applied force during a 2sec time interval. In trial 1,
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

change of momentum does not depend on the mass of the cars, as the force and time are the same all vehicles have the same change of momentum

Explanation:

Let's look for the speed of the car

     F = m a

    a = F / m

We use kinematics to find lips

    v = v₀ + a t

    v = v₀ + (F / m) t

The moment is defined by

    p = m v

The moment change

    Δp = m v - m v₀

Let's replace the speeds in this equation

    Δp = m (v₀ + F / m t) - m v₀

    Δp = m v₀  + F t - m v₀  

    Δp = F t

We see that the change of momentum does not depend on the mass of the cars, as the force and time are the same all vehicles have the same change of momentum
