The Cassegrain design provides more compact (shorter) telescopes. Why? (Examine figures 2.4.2 and 2.4.3). The shorter design is

usually preferred in situations where the telescope is transported frequently.

Answer:

Because the light reflects multiple times until it gets to the Cassegrain focus.

Explanation:

The Cassegrain design can be seen in a reflecting telescope. In this type of design the light is collected by a concave mirror, and then intercepted by a secondary convex mirror, and sends it down to a central opening in the primary mirror (concave mirror), in which a detector is placed (Cassegrain focus)

Since, the light is reflected many times due to Cassegrain design, that leads to shorter telescopes.

Answer:

a) $P(6)=0.25$

b) $p(x$

c) $p(x\geq3)=0.9878$

d) $\sigma=\sqrt{2.4}=1.5492$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Population percentage $p_\%=\60%$

Sample size $n=10$

Let x =customers ask for water

Let y =customers dose not ask for water with their meal

Generally the equation for y is mathematically given by

$y=1-p_\%\\y=1-0.60\\y=0.40$

Generally the equation for pmf p(x) is mathematically given by

$P(x)=10C_x (0..6)^x(0.4)^{10-x}$

a)

Generally the probability that exactly 6 ask for water is mathematically given by

$P(x)6=10C_6 (0..6)^6(0.4)^{10-6}$

$P(6)=0.25$

b)

Generally the probability that less than 9 ask for water with meal is mathematically given by

$p(xg)$

$p(x$

$p(x$

$p(x$

c)

Generally the probability that at least 3 ask for water with meal is mathematically given by

$p(x\geq3)=1-p(x$

$p(x\geq3)=1-[p(0)+p(1)+p(2)]$

$p(x\geq3)=1-[0.00001+0.0015+0.0106]$

$p(x\geq3)=1-[0.0122]$

$p(x\geq3)=0.9878$

d)

Generally the mean and standard deviation of sample size is mathematically given by

Mean

$\=x=np=10(0.6)=6$

Standard deviation

$v(x)=npq=10(0.6)(0.4)=2.4$

$\sigma=\sqrt{2.4}=1.5492$

A 2.00-m long uniform beam has a mass of 4.00 kg. The beam rests on a fulcrum that is 1.20 m from its left end. In order for the

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

x ’= 1,735 m, measured from the far left

Explanation:

For the system to be in equilibrium, the law of rotational equilibrium must be fulfilled.

Let's fix a reference system located at the point of rotation and that the anticlockwise rotations have been positive

They tell us that we have a mass (m1) on the left side and another mass (M2) on the right side,

the mass that is at the left end x = 1.2 m measured from the pivot point, the mass of the right side is at a distance x and the weight of the body that is located at the geometric center of the bar

x_{cm} = 1.2 -1

x_ {cm} = 0.2 m

Σ τ = 0

w₁ 1.2 + mg 0.2 - W₂ x = 0

x = $\frac{m_1 g\ 1.2 \ + m g \ 0.2}{M_2 g}$

x = $\frac{m_1 \ 1.2 \ + m \ 0.2 }{M_2}$

let's calculate

x = $\frac{2.9 \ 1.2 \ + 4 \ 0.2 }{8.00}$ 2.9 1.2 + 4 0.2 / 8

x = 0.535 m

measured from the pivot point

measured from the far left is

x’= 1,2 + x

x'= 1.2 + 0.535

x ’= 1,735 m

A particle moving along the x-axis has its velocity described by the function vx =2t2m/s, where t is in s. its initial position

Nesterboy [21]

The position of the object at time t =2.0 s is <u>6.4 m.</u>

Velocity vₓ of a body is the rate at which the position x of the object changes with time.

Therefore,

$v_x= \frac{dx}{dt}$

Write an equation for x.

$dx=v_xdt\\ x=\int v_xdt$

Substitute the equation for vₓ =2t² in the integral.

$x=\int v_xdt\\ =\int2t^2dt\\ =\frac{2t^3}{3} +C$

Here, the constant of integration is C and it is determined by applying initial conditions.

When t =0, x = 1. 1m

$x= \frac{2t^3}{3} +C\\ x_0=1.1\\ x= (\frac{2t^3}{3} +1.1)m$

Substitute 2.0s for t.

$x= (\frac{2t^3}{3} +1.1)m\\ =\frac{2(2.0)^3}{3} +1.1\\ =6.43 m$

The position of the particle at t =2.0 s is <u>6.4m</u>

two masses are separated by 1 m. suppose the masses are moved so they are 2 m apart how will the gravitational force change

Verdich [7]

The gravitational force would get stronger because the farther the two masses are separated the more gravitational force will be used to pull them together the closer they are the less gravitational pull is used to pull them together

How does a generator work?

insens350 [35]

An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical energy as the output.

It is important to understand that a generator does not actually ‘create’ electrical energy. Instead, it uses the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric circuit. This flow of electric charges constitutes the output electric current supplied by the generator. This mechanism can be understood by considering the generator to be analogous to a water pump, which causes the flow of water but does not actually ‘create’ the water flowing through it.

The modern-day generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831-32. Faraday discovered that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current.
