What structure is used to focus light in a reflecting telescope?

Physics
1 answer:
zmey [24]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Concave mirror

Explanation:

  • Reflecting telescopes is a type of telescope that uses mirrors instead of lens. This is because mirrors are lighter and thus are easier to make perfectly smooth as compared to lenses.
  • Reflecting telescopes use concave mirrors for the purposes of bringing light gathered to a certain focus.
  • <em><u>Concave mirror in reflecting telescopes collects parallel rays from the object and forms an image at the focal point. </u></em>

A sled of mass m is being pulled horizontally by a constant horizontal force of magnitude F. The coefficient of kinetic friction
rusak2 [61]

I'll bite:

-- Since the sled's mass is 'm', its weight is 'mg'.

-- Since the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk, the force acting opposite to the direction it's sliding is    (μk) times (mg) .

-- If the pulling force is constant 'F', then the horizontal forces on the sled
are 'F' forward and (μk · mg) backwards.

-- The net force on the sled is  (F - μk·mg).
(I regret the visual appearance that's beginning to emerge,
but let's forge onward.)

-- The sled's horizontal acceleration is  (net force) / (mass) = (F - μk·mg) / m.
This could be simplified, but let's not just yet.

-- Starting from rest, the sled moves a distance 's' during time 't'.
We know that  s = 1/2 a t² , and we know what 'a' is.  So we can write

           s = (1/2 t²)  (F - μk·mg) / m    .

Now we have the distance, and the constant force.
The total work is (Force x distance), and the power is (Work / time).
Let's put it together and see how ugly it becomes.  Maybe THEN
it can be simplified.

Work = (Force x distance) =  F x  (1/2 t²)  (F - μk·mg) / m
 
Power = (Work / time) =    <em>F (t/2) (F - μk·mg) / m </em>

Unless I can come up with something a lot simpler, that's the answer.


To simplify and beautify, make the partial fractions out of the
2nd parentheses:
                                   <em> F (t/2) (F/m - μk·m)</em>

I think that's about as far as you can go.  I tried some other presentations,
and didn't find anything that's much simpler.

Five points,ehhh ?

A rock hits a window and stops in 0.15 seconds. The net force on the rock is 58N during the collision. What is the magnitude of
nlexa [21]

Answer:

The change in momentum is  \Delta p =   0.7 \ kg\cdot m \cdot s^{-1}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The time taken for the stone to stop is \Delta  t = 0.15 \ seconds

    The net force on the rock is  F =  58 \ N

   

The impulse of the rock can be mathematically represented as

     I  =  F * \Delta t

Substituting values

     I  =  58 * 0.15

    I  =  0.7\  kg * m  * s^{-1}

Now impulse is defined as  the rate at which momentum change

   Hence the change in momentum \Delta p  of the rock is equal to the impulse of the rock

 So  

       \Delta p =  I  =  0.7 \ kg\cdot m \cdot s^{-1}

An object is thrown straight up into the air with an initial speed of 8 m/s, and reaches a greatest height of 15 m before it fal
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The value is T_t =  2.5659 \  s    

Explanation:

From the we are told that  

         The initial speed of the object is  u =  8 \  m/s

         The greatest height it reached is  h  =  15 \  m

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

      v^2 =  u^2 + 2gH

At maximum height v  =  0 m/s

So

      0^2 =  8^2 + 2 *  - 9.8 *  H

=>    H  =  3.27 \  m

Here H is the height from the initial height to the maximum height

So the initial height is mathematically represented as  

      s =  h - H

=>    s =  15 - 3.27

=>    s =  11.73 \  m

Generally the time taken for the object to reach maximum height is mathematically evaluated using kinematic equation as follows

            v  =  u + (-g) t

At maximum height v  =  0 m/s

           0 = 8 - 9.8t

=>         t = 0.8163 \  s

Generally the time taken for the object to move from the maximum height to the ground is mathematically using kinematic equation as follows

       h  =  ut_1 + \frac{1}{2}  gt_1^2

Here the initial velocity is  0 m/s given that its the velocity at maximum height

Also  g is positive because we are moving in the direction of gravity  

So

       15  =  0* t  +  4.9 t^2

=>      t_1  =  1.7496

Generally the total time taken is mathematically represented as

          T_t =  t + t_1

=>        T_t =  0.8163  +   1.7496

=>        T_t =  2.5659 \  s

The Gulf Stream off the east coast of the United States can flow at a rapid 3.9 m/s to the north. A ship in this current has a c
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

72.54 degree west of south

Explanation:

flow = 3.9 m/s north

speed = 11 m/s

to find out

point due west from the current position

solution

we know here water is flowing north and ship must go south at an equal rate so that the velocities cancel and the ship just goes west

so it become like triangle with 3.3 point down and the hypotenuse is 11

so by triangle

hypotenuse ×cos(angle) = adjacent side

11 ×cos(angle) = 3.3

cos(angle) = 0.3

angle = 72.54 degree west of south
