Answer: C

Telescope

Explanation: A telescope is an optical device in which scientists ( astronomers) use to view far away distance objects in the universe.

The single invention of the telescope has advanced what we know about the universe more than any other scientific technology. Because with the use of telescope alone, astronomers could view and study many heavenly objects or bodies and many planets in the universe.

The optical instrument makes very far distant objects appear magnified by using an arrangement of lenses or curved mirrors and lenses for clearer viewing of heavenly objects and planets in our universe.

Can an object contain heat? Why or why not?
Stells [14]
Every object has thermal energy (better word than heat, since we associate that with high temperatures). This is actually the molecules vibrating, moving a lot. More thermal energy means more vibrating, and thus also expanding in volume.

An astronaut sitting on the launch pad on Earth's surface is 6,400 kilometers from Earth's center and weighs 400 newtons. Calcul
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

weight at height = 100 N .

Explanation:

The problem relates to variation of weight  due to change in height .

Let g₀ and g₁ be acceleration due to gravity , m is mass of the object .

At the surface :

Applying Newton's law of gravitation

mg₀ = G Mm / R²

At height h from centre

mg₁ = G Mm /h²

Given mg₀ = 400 N

400 = G Mm / R²

400 = G Mm / (6400 x 10³ )²

G Mm = 400 x (6400 x 10³ )²

At height h from centre

mg₁ =  400 x (6400 x 10³ )²/ ( 2 x 6400 x 10³)²

= 400 / 4

= 100 N .

weight at height = 100 N

A spearfisher stands in shallow water and sees a fish a few feet in front of her. She throws her spear directly toward the posit
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

the spear will end up above the fish relative to the actual position of the fish.

Explanation:

due to refraction of light coming from the fish the fish will appear slightly above from its real position

So due to this refraction the spearfisher will throw the spear directly at the image of the fish due to which it will not reach the position of fish but it will reach the position above the fish.

So here we can say that the spear will end up above the fish relative to the actual position of the fish

CaHeK987 [17]

Complete question:

A block of solid lead sits on a flat, level surface. Lead has a density of 1.13 x 104 kg/m3. The mass of the block is 20.0 kg. The amount of surface area of the block in contact with the surface is 2.03*10^-2*m2, What is the average pressure (in Pa) exerted on the surface by the block? Pa

Answer:

The average pressure exerted on the surface by the block is 9655.17 Pa

Explanation:

Given;

density of the lead, ρ =  1.13 x 10⁴ kg/m³

mass of the lead block, m = 20 kg

surface area of the area of the block, A = 2.03 x 10⁻² m²

Determine the force exerted on the surface by the block due to its weight;

F = mg

F = 20 x 9.8

F = 196 N

Determine the pressure exerted on the surface by the block

P = F / A

where;

P is the pressure

P = 196 / (2.03 x 10⁻²)

P = 9655.17 N/m²

P = 9655.17 Pa

Therefore, the average pressure exerted on the surface by the block is 9655.17 Pa
