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.

A car is towing a boat on a trailer. The driver starts from rest and accelerates to a velocity of +16.7 m/s in a time of 20.7 s.
frutty [35]

Answer:

F = 479.21 N

Explanation:

given,

initial velocity = 0 m/s  

final velocity = 16.7 m/s        

time taken = 20.7 s          

combined mass of the boat and trailer  = 594 kg

tension in the hitch = ?          

using equation of motion          

v = u + a t

16.7 = 0 + a × 20.7

a = 0.807 m/s²              

Force = mass × acceleration        

F = 594 × 0.807                

F = 479.21 N

Hence, the tension in the hitch that connects the  trailer to the car is        F = 479.21 N

Tyson throws a shot put ball weighing 7.26 kg. At a height of 2.1 m above the ground, the mechanical energy of the ball is 172.1
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

2.5 m/s

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is the sum of the potential and kinetic energy.

E = PE + KE

E = mgh + ½mv²

172.1 J = (7.26 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (2.1 m) + ½ (7.26 kg) v²

v = 2.5 m/s

Point charges q1 and q2 are separated by a distance of 60 cm along a horizontal axis.
amm1812

Answer:

38 cm from q1(right)

Explanation:

Given, q1 = 3q2 , r = 60cm = 0.6 m

Let that point be situated at a distance of 'x' m from q1.

Electric field must be same from both sides to be in equilibrium(where EF is 0).

=> k q1/x² = k q2/(0.6 - x)²

=> q1(0.6 - x)² = q2(x)²

=> 3q2(0.6 - x)² = q2(x)²

=> 3(0.6 - x)² = x²

=> √3(0.6 - x) = ± x

=> 0.6√3 = x(1 + √3)

=> 1.03/2.73 = x

≈ 0.38 m = 38 cm = x

What is the weight of a 5.00 kg object on Earth? Assume g=9.81 m/s^2.
Softa [21]

<em>weight = (mass) x (gravity)</em>

Weight = (5.00 kg) x (9.81 m/s²)

weight = (5.00 x 9.81) (kg-m/s²)

<em>Weight = 49.05 Newton</em>
