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 500 kg cart is rolling to the right at 1.3 m/s. a 60 kg man is standing on the right end of the cart. what is the speed of the
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

P1 = 1.3 (500 + 60) = 728 kg-m      total momentum to right at start

P2 = (v2 - 10) 60 + 500 v2

total momentum after running at -10 with respect to cart = 728 where v2 is the new speed of the cart

728 = 560 v2 - 600

v2 = 1328 / 560 = 2.37 m/s    new speed of cart

Check:

After:    p2 for cart = 500 * 2.37 = 1186

p1 for man = (2.37 - 10) * 60 = -458

P2 = p1 + p2 = 728       total momentum unchanged

The Earth's escape speed (the speed you need to get away forever) is about 40,000 kilometers per hour. Escape speed depends on t
Anvisha [2.4K]

The Moon s escape speed will be smaller than Earth's.

  • What is escape speed:

The minimum speed that is required for an object to free itself from the gravitational force exerted by a massive object.

The formula of escape speed is

  • v = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

where

v is escape velocity

G is universal gravitational constant

M is mass of the body to be escaped from

r is distance from the center of the mass

we can say that,

Escape speed depends on the gravity of the object trying to hold the spacecraft from escaping.

we know that,

The Moon's surface gravity is about 1/6th as powerful or about 1.6 meters per second per second.

since, v ∝ g

The Moon s escape speed will be smaller than Earth's.
