Explanation :

Telescope is an instrument which is used to magnify distant objects bright, consistent and large.

The function of an ideal telescope must be :

Magnification
Resolution
Power of gathering of light

There are many types of Telescope like:

X ray telescope
Optical telescope
Ultraviolet telescope etc

Hence, the correct option is (b) " It magnifies light received from distant objects ".

What happens to the gravitational potential energy between two particles if the distance between them is halved? (a) It does not

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy between two particles, if the distance between them is halved, is multiplied by 4 (option c).

Explanation:

The gravitational force is the force of mutual attraction that two objects with mass experience.

The Law of Universal Gravitation enunciated by Newton says that every material particle attracts any other material particle with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them. Mathematically this is expressed as:

$F=G*\frac{m1*m2}{r^{2} }$

where m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects, r the distance between them and G a universal constant that receives the name of constant of gravitation.

If the distance between two particles is reduced by half, then, where F' is the new value of the gravitational force:

$F'=G*\frac{m1*m2}{(\frac{r}{2} )^{2} }$

$F'=G*\frac{m1*m2}{\frac{(r )^{2} }{2^{2} } }$

$F'=G*\frac{m1*m2}{\frac{(r )^{2} }{4} }$

$F'=4*G*\frac{m1*m2}{r^{2} }$

F'=4*F

The gravitational potential energy between two particles, if the distance between them is halved, is multiplied by 4 (option c).

Star A and Star B have measured stellar parallax of 1.0 arc second and 0.75 arc second, respectively. Which star is closer? How

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Star A is closer than Star B

Explanation:

As we know that in parallax method of distance measurement the angle subtended by the star when it covers a distance of one Parsec arc length, it is known as parallax angle

Here we can say

$angle = \frac{1 Parsec}{distance}$

so we have

$distance = \frac{1 Parsec}{angle}$

so here we have

angle subtended by Star A = 1 arc sec

angle subtended by star B = 0.75 arc sec

now we have

distance for star A is given as

$d_a = \frac{1 Parsec}{1} = 1 Parsec$

distance of star B is given as

$d_b = \frac{1 Parsec}{0.75} = 1.33 Parsec$

So star A is closer than star B

A museum curator moves artifacts into place on various different display surfaces. If the curator moves a 145 kg aluminum sculpt

NikAS [45]

We are given the mass of an aluminum sculpture which is 145 kg and a horizontal force equal to 668 Newtons. The coefficient of friction can be determined by dividing the horizontal force by the weight of the object. In this case, 668 N / 145 * 9.8 equal to coeff of friction of 0.47
