Answer: Unbalanced forces

Explanation:

An unbalanced force is the type of force that causes change in speed or direction of a moving object or a body in motion, it is an unequal and opposite force.

A net force=unbalanced force.

What is meant in astronomy by the phrase "adaptive optics?
Sergeu [11.5K]
<h2>Answer: a.The mirrors and eyepiece of a large telescope are spring-loaded to allow them to return quickly to a known position. </h2>

Explanation:

Adaptive optics is a method used in several astronomical observatories to counteract in real time the effects of the Earth's atmosphere on the formation of astronomical images.

This is done through the insertion into the optical path of the telescope of sophisticated deformable mirrors supported by a set of computationally controlled actuators. Thus obtaining clear images despite the effects of atmospheric turbulence that cause the unwanted distortion.

It should be noted that with this technique it is also necessary to have a moderately bright reference star that is very close to the object to be observed and studied. However, it is not always possible to find such stars, so a powerful laser beam is used to point towards the Earth's upper atmosphere and create artificial stars.

What is the fundamental frequency (in Hz) of a 0.632 m long tube, open at both ends, on a day when the speed of sound is 344 m/s
Greeley [361]

Answer:

f=272.15Hz

Explanation:

Given data

Length of tube L=0.632 m

Speed of sound v=344 m/s

To find

Fundamental frequency f

Solution

The fundamental frequency of the tube can be given as:

f=\frac{v}{2L}\\ f=\frac{344m/s}{2(0.632m)}\\ f=272.15Hz

There is the more role of the moon than the sun to occur tides in the oceans,why?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The ocean tides on earth are caused by both the moon's gravity and the sun's gravity. ... Even though the sun is much more massive and therefore has stronger overall gravity than the moon, the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravitational gradient is stronger than that of the sun.

Explain the difference between speed and velocity and indicate if these are scalar or vector quantities
Natali5045456 [20]
Speed can never be negative because it does not depend in which direction the car moves whereas, velocity will change if a car turns from due North to East.
Quantities which can be described only by their magnitudes are called scalars and those which are described by both, magnitude and direction are vectors
