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 train is moving in a straight railway where it covered one third of the distance with

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

<em>The average speed of the train is 45 km/h</em>

Explanation:

<u>Speed</u>

It's defined as the distance (d) per unit of time (t) traveled by an object. The formula is:

$\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}$

Let's call x the total distance covered by the train. It covered d1=1/3x with a speed of v1=25 km/h. The time taken is calculated solving for t:

$\displaystyle t_1=\frac{d_1}{v_1}$

$\displaystyle t_1=\frac{1/3x}{25}$

$\displaystyle t_1=\frac{x}{75}$

Now the rest of the distance:

d2 = x - 1/3x = 2/3x

Was covered at v2=75 km/h. Thus the time taken is:

$\displaystyle t_2=\frac{d_2}{v_2}$

$\displaystyle t_2=\frac{2/3x}{75}$

$\displaystyle t_2=\frac{2x}{225}$

The total time is:

$\displaystyle t_t=\frac{x}{75}+\frac{2x}{225}$

$\displaystyle t_t=\frac{3x}{225}+\frac{2x}{225}$

$\displaystyle t_t=\frac{5x}{225}$

Simplifying:

$\displaystyle t_t=\frac{x}{45}$

The average speed is the total distance divided by the total time:

$\displaystyle \bar v=\frac{x}{\frac{x}{45}}$

Simplifying:

$\boxed{\displaystyle \bar v=45\ km/h}$

The average speed of the train is 45 km/h

Two flywheels of negligible mass and different radii are bonded together and rotate about a common axis (see below). The smaller

jekas [21]

Answer:

$F_2 = 29.54 N$

Explanation:

As we know that the combination is maintained at rest position

So we will take net torque on the system to be ZERO

so we know that

$\tau = \vec r \times \vec F$

here we will have

$\vec r_1 \times F_1 = \vec r_2 \times F_2$

so we have

$13 \times 50 = 22 \times F_2$

so we have

$F_2 = \frac{13 \times 50}{22}$

$F_2 = 29.54 N$

When a police officer receives information that you are speeding in your vehicle, she is using the ______________ of the wave to

Alex

I think the corect answer would be C. When a police officer receives information that you are speeding in your vehicle, she is using the frequency of the wave to measure the Doppler Effect. As the speed of a vehicle increases, the greater the change of the frequency of the waves would be transmitted to the radar guns which is being used by the police officer. Doppler effect is an effect that is observed in sound and light waves as these waves move away or to the direction of the observer. This is being used in many applications like in astronomy, weather balloons, the radar guns,and for underwater researches.
