Explanation :

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

The function of an ideal telescope must be :

  1. Magnification
  2. Resolution
  3. 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 ".

A 30.0-kg girl in a swing is pushed to one side and held at rest by a horizontal force \vec{F} ​F ​⃗ ​​ so that the swing ropes
Virty [35]

Answer:

169.74 N

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of the girl = 30 Kg

angle of the rope with vertical, θ = 30°

equating the vertical component of the tension

vertical component of the tension is equal to the weight of the girl.

 T cos θ = m g

 T cos 30° = 30 x 9.8

 T = 339.48 N

Tension on the two ropes is equal to 339.48 N

Tension in each of the rope = T/2

                                           = 339.48/2 = 169.74 N

Hence, the tension in each of the rope is equal to 169.74 N

A train slows down as it rounds a sharp horizontal turn, going from 94.0 km/h to 46.0 km/h in the 17.0 s that it takes to round
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

1.41 m/s^2

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert the two speeds from km/h to m/s:

u = 94.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h} = 26.1 m/s

v=46.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=12.8 m/s

Now we find the centripetal acceleration which is given by

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

where

v = 12.8 m/s is the speed

r = 140 m is the radius of the curve

Substituting values, we find

a_c=\frac{(12.8 m/s)^2}{140 m}=1.17 m/s^2

we also have a tangential acceleration, which is given by

a_t = \frac{v-u}{t}

where

t = 17.0 s

Substituting values,

a_t=\frac{12.8 m/s-26.1 m/s}{17.0 s}=-0.78 m/s^2

The two components of the acceleration are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the resultant acceleration by using Pythagorean theorem:

a=\sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}=\sqrt{(1.17 m/s^2)+(-0.78 m/s^2)}=1.41 m/s^2

An electric field from a charge has a magnitude of 1.5 × 104 N/C at a certain location that points inward. If another charge wit
zysi [14]

Answer:

-0.045 N, they will attract each other

Explanation:

The strength of the electrostatic force exerted on a charge is given by

F=qE

where

q is the magnitude of the charge

E is the electric field magnitude

In this problem,

q=3.0\cdot 10^{-6}C

E=-1.5\cdot 10^4 N/C (negative because inward)

So the strength of the electrostatic force is

F=(-3.0\cdot 10^{-6}C)(1.5\cdot 10^4 N/C)=-0.045 N

Moreover, the charge will be attracted towards the source of the electric field. In fact, the text says that the electric field points inward: this means that the source charge is negative, so the other charge (which is positive) is attracted towards it.

What is the momentum of a car with a mass of 1,300 kg traveling at a speed of 28 m/s?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 36,400 kgm/s</h3>

Explanation:

The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula

<h3>momentum = mass × velocity</h3>

From the question

mass = 1,300 kg

speed / velocity = 28 m/s

We have

momentum = 1,300 × 28

We have the final answer as

<h3>36,400 kgm/s</h3>

Hope this helps you
