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.

Sally and Sam are in a spaceship that comes to within 16,000 km of the asteroid Ceres. Determine the force Sally experiences, in
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

  0.017 N

Explanation:

The relevant relation is ...

  F = GMm/r²

where G is the universal gravitational constant, 6.67408 × 10^-11 m^3·kg^-1·s^-2, M and m are the masses of the objects, and r is the distance between them.

__

Filling in the given numbers, we find the force to be ...

  F = (6.67408 × 10^-11 m^3·kg^-1·s^-2)(8.7 × 10^20 kg)(77 kg)/(1.6 × 10^7 m)^2

where m in this expression is the unit "meters".

  F = 6.67408 · 8.7 · 77/2.56 × 10^(-11 +20 -2·7) N ≈ 0.017 N

The asteroid exerts a force of about 0.017 N on Sally.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

That's about 0.000023 times the force of Earth's gravity.

Nady [450]
Based on your problem where as ask for the distance of the ball drop between the pitchers mound and the home plate and with a given of the speed of ball is 43m/s and the homeplates is 60.6ft away. Based on my step by step procedure and also considering the value of gravity by 9.8m/s^2 i came up with the distance of 144m away
