Avoid cloud and man-made lights

Because light is degraded when it has to pass through air.

The best places for large telescopes would be on the Moon, in space,
or in orbit (like the Hubble, Kepler, and Webb space telescopes). 

If you can't manage any of those places, or can't afford them, then
the next best choice for a location is any place where the light doesn't
need to plow through a lot of air to reach your telescope.  Those places
are either on top of mountains or under giant helium balloons.  Both of
these ideas have been used extensively for the past 100 years.

Explore how archemides principle is applied in building a ship and submarine​
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Principle Archimedes is applied in building a ship and submarine using the manipulating that buoyancy, is controlled the ballast tank system.

Explanation:

Submarine is rather had they focused on main parts of the submarine,he is complex and long process implementation,the most submarine design like submarine stability.

Submarine stability is complete and the fundamental Archimedes principle to arrive the weight of submarine is equal to buoyancy force.

Submarine into the parts and components of ballast tank the sequence in diving and surfacing,there two vital parts:-  flood parts and air vents

flood parts:- at the bottom position and allow water to enter or leave that tank.

air vents:- air vents at the top of the pressure hall,and that they submarine dive.

this time submarine is most modern system is depth is 300 to 450 meters,high pressure  air is 15 bar is tank air valve.

submarine is basic of the effective volume of all the submarine surfaced condition,submarine minus to the free water flood is equal to the fully pressure hull,submarine is the surfaced condition.

A distant planet with a mass of (7.2000x10^26) has a moon with a mass of (5.0000x10^23). The distance between the planet and the
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a simple gravitational force problem using the equation:

F_g=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} where F is the gravitational force, G is the universal gravitational constant, the m's are the masses of the2 objects, and r is the distance between the centers of the masses. I am going to state G to 3 sig fig's so that is the number of sig fig's we will have in our answer. If we are solving for the gravitational force, we can fill in everything else where it goes. Keep in mind that I am NOT rounding until the very end, even when I show some simplification before the final answer.

Filling in:

F_g=\frac{(6.67*19^{-11})(7.2000*10^{26})(5.0000*10^{23})}{(6.10*10^{11})^2} I'm going to do the math on the top and then on the bottom and divide at the end.

F_g=\frac{2.4012*10^{40}}{3.721*10^{23}} and now when I divide I will express my answer to the correct number of sig dig's:

Fg= 6.45 × 10¹⁶ N
