Answer:

Explanation:The main purpose of astronomical telescope is to make objects from outer space appear as bright, contrasty and large as possible. That defines its three main function: light gathering, resolution and magnification. These are the measure of its efficiency.

g a mass of 1.3 kg is pushed horizontally against a massless spring with a spring constant of 58 n/m until the spring compresses

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer: $1.102\ J$

Explanation:

Given

Mass $m=1.3\ kg$

Spring constant $k=58\ N/m$

Compression in the spring $x=19.5\ cm\ or\ 0.195\ m$

When the mass leaves the spring, the elastic potential energy of spring is being converted into kinetic energy of mass i.e.

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 58\cdot (0.195)^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=1.102\ J$

The kinetic energy of the mass is 1.102 J.

Problem 28.3 Suppose that you are planning a trip in which a spacecraZ is to travel at a constant velocity for exactly six month

iragen [17]

Answer:

v = 0.999981c m/s

Explanation:

Using the time dilation equation

$T = \frac{T_{0} }{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2} }{c^{2} } } }$

T = stationary time = 100 years

T₀ = 11/12 years = 0.917 years

v = speed of travel in the space = ?

c = speed of light = 3 * 10⁸ m/s

$100 = \frac{0.917 }{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2} }{(3*10^{8} )^{2} } } }\\$

$(0.917/100) ^{2} = 1 - \frac{v^{2} }{ 9 * 10^{16} }$

v = 299987395.57 m/s

v = 2.99 * 10⁸ m/s

v = 0.999981c m/s

A 550 N physics student stands on a bathroom scale in an elevator that is supported by a cable. The combined mass of student plu

mario62 [17]

Answer:

(a) The elevator has an acceleration of 2.14 m/s² and direction is downward

(b) The acceleration is a=2.14 m/s²

Explanation:

Let +y be upward direction

For Part (a)

The mass of student (whose weight is 550N) is:

ms=w/g

ms=550/9.8=56.1 kg

Apply ∑Fy=ma

$n-m_{s}g=m_{s}a\\$

Solve for acceleration a

$a=\frac{n-m_{s}g}{m_{s}}\\ a=\frac{430N-550N}{56.1kg} \\a=-2.14m/s^{2}$

The elevator has an acceleration of 2.14 m/s² and direction is downward

Part(b)

For the acceleration is the scale reads 670 N

For n=670N

$a=\frac{n-m_{s}g}{m_{s}}\\ a=\frac{670N-550N}{56.1kg}\\ a=2.14m/s^{2}$

If the sun's mass is about average, how many stars are there in the milky way galaxy? the mass of the sun is of the order of 103

ra1l [238]

Just assume that the sun has the average mass of all the stars
Then divide the mass of the galaxy by the mass of the sun.
10^30 has 30 zeroes after it. 10^42 has 42 zeroes.

The answer would have 12 zeroes which concludes a trillion stars.
