Answer:

Gran Telescopio Canarias

Explanation:

There are numerous giant telescopes all over the world which give us amazingly details data of the Universe. These work in various wavelengths. Talking about the telescopes which operates in visible wavelengths, the largest operational telescope will be Gran Telescopio Canarias.  This telescope has an aperture of 10.4m. It is situated in Canary Island, Spain.

In future larger telescopes such as Thirty Meter Telescope and EELT will will make it look like a small telescope.

A small metal sphere weighs 0.34 N in air and has a volume of 13 cm3 . What is the acceleration of the sphere as it falls throug
Xelga [282]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the balance of forces. Said balance will be given between buoyancy force and weight, both described as derived from Newton's second law, are given as

Buoyancy force

F_B = V\rho g

Here,

V = Volume

\rho=Density of air

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Weight

F_W = mg

m = mass

g = Gravity

Our values are given as,

\text{Weight of the sphere} = W = 0.34 N

\text{Volume} = V = 13 cm^3 = 13*10^{-6}m^3

\text{density of air} =\rho =1.29kg/m^3

\text{gravity}= g = 9.8 m/s^2

Then,

F = V\rho g

Replacing,

F = (13*10^{-6}m^3 )(1.29Kg/m^3)( 9.8 m/s^2) = 1.6434* 10^{-4} N

Now net force is ,

F_{net} = mg - F

Mass of the sphere is

m = \frac{W}{g} = \frac{0.34N}{9.8m/s^2} = 0.03469 kg

Now acceleration of the sphere is

a = \frac{F_{net}}{m}

a = \frac{( 0.34 N)- (1.6434* 10^{-4} N)}{0.03469 kg}

a = 9.822m/s^2

Therefore the acceleration of the sphere as it falls through water is 9.822m/s^2

A car accelerates from rest at 3.00 m/second squared What is the velocity after 5 secs ? What is the displacement after 5 second
andrey2020 [161]

Explanation:

after 5 seconds, the velocity is (5s)(3m/s²) = 15m/s

The displacement after 5s is

x=vo + (1/2)at²

x = 0 + (1/2)(3m/s²)(5s)(5s)

x= 37.5 m
