The main function of a telescope is to gather enough light from the target so that ...

-- it can be magnified big enough to see detail in it, if it has detail, without it getting so dim that it disappears;

-- if it has no detail (like a distant star), there's enough light from it to analyze the light with the instruments we have.

Anna applies a force of 19.5 newtons to push a book placed on a table. If the normal force of the book is 51.7 newtons, what is

andrey2020 [161]

Considering that the book is moving with constant speed, the force applied by Anna must be the same that the friction force:

$F = F_R = F\cdot \mu_k\cdot N$

If we clear the previous equation:

$\mu_k = \frac{F}{F_R} = \frac{19.5\ N}{51.7\ N} = \bf 0.38$

on a very muddy football field, a 120 kg linebacker tackles an 75 kg halfback. immediately before the collision, the linebacker

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

B4 the tackle:

The linebacker's momentum = 115 x 8.5 = 977.5 kg m/s north 

and the halfback's momentum = 89 x 6.7 = 596.3 kg m/s east 

After the tackle they move together with a momentum equal to the vector sum of their separate momentums b4 the tackle 

The vector triangle is right angled: 

magnitude of final momentum = √(977.5² + 596.3²) = 1145.034 kg m/s 

so (115 + 89)v(f) = 1145.034 ←←[b/c p = mv] 

v(f) = 5.6 m/s (to 2 sig figs) 

direction of v(f) is the same as the direction of the final momentum 

so direction of v(f) = arctan (596.3 / 977.5) = N 31° E (to 2 sig figs) 

so the velocity of the two players after the tackle is 5.6 m/s in the direction N 31° E 

btw ... The direction can be given heaps of different ways ... N 31° E is probably the easiest way to express it when using the vector triangle to find it

what was the acceleration of the cart with Low fan speed cm/s squared? what was the acceleration of the cart with medium fan spe

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Explanation:

The attached figure shows data for the cart speed, distance and time.

For low fan speed,

Distance, d = 500 cm

Time, t = 7.4 s

Average velocity,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500}{7.4}\\\\v=67.56\ cm/s$
