Answer:
The magnification of an astronomical telescope is -30.83.
Explanation:
The expression for the magnification of an astronomical telescope is as follows;
Here, M is the magnification of an astronomical telescope, is the focal length of the eyepiece lens and
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 and
in the above expression.
M=-30.83
Therefore, the magnification of an astronomical telescope is -30.83.
Answer:
-4.0 N
Explanation:
Since the force of friction is the only force acting on the box, according to Newton's second law its magnitude must be equal to the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):
(1)
We can find the mass of the box from its weight: in fact, since the weight is W = 50.0 N, its mass will be
And we can fidn the acceleration by using the formula:
where
v = 0 is the final velocity
u = 1.75 m/s is the initial velocity
t = 2.25 s is the time the box needs to stop
Substituting, we find
(the acceleration is negative since it is opposite to the motion, so it is a deceleration)
Therefore, substituting into eq.(1) we find the force of friction:
Where the negative sign means the direction of the force is opposite to the motion of the box.
