Answer:

A flame always point upwards because the flame's gas is hotter than the surrounding air and, like you said, a hot gas is always lighter or less dense than a cold gas.

Listed following are the names and mirror diameters for six of the world’s greatest reflecting telescopes used to gather visible

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Large binocular telescope, Keck 1 telescope, Hobby-Ebberly telescope, Subaru telescope, Gemini North telescope, Magellan 2 telescope

Explanation:

How much light a telescope can collect depends on its diameter, since in a bigger area more photons will be collected.

Remember that in a circle the area is defined as:

$A = \pi r^{2}$ (1)

Where A is the area and r is its radius.

However, the radius can be determined by means of its diameter.

$d = 2r$

$r = \frac{d}{2}$ (1)

Where d is its diameter.

An example of this is when a person is collecting raindrops with a bucket and with a cup. Since the bucket has a bigger area than the cup, it will collect more raindrops by unit of time. In this scenario the raindrops represent the photons.

To determine the light collecting area of each telescope, equation 2 will be replaced in equation 1.

$A = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2}$ (3)

Case for Large binocular telescope:

$A_{mirror1} = \pi (\frac{8.4m}{2})^{2}$

$A_{mirror1} = 55.41m$

For the second mirror will be the same value

$A = A_{mirror1}+A_{mirror2}$

$A = 55.41m+55.41m$

$A= 110.82m$

Case for Keck 1 telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{10m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 78.53m$

Case for Hobby-Ebberly telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{9.2m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 66.47m$

Case for Subaru telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{8.3m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 54.10m$

Case for Gemini North telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{8m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 50.26m$

Case for Magellan 2 telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{6.5m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 33.18m$

Hence, they may be rank in the following way:

Large binocular telescope, Keck 1 telescope, Hobby-Ebberly telescope, Subaru telescope, Gemini North telescope, Magellan 2 telescope.

How do positive and negative acceleration differ?

Greeley [361]

Answer:

1. positive acceleration represents an object speeding up; negative acceleration represents an object slowing down

Explanation:

Acceleration is clearly defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. When are body is speeding up as we say, it is accelerating. When a body is coming to rest, it is decelerating.

Positive acceleration occurs when the speed of a moving continues to increase.

Negative acceleration is when the speed of a moving body reduces drastically.

What is Otter's average velocity over his entire trip when it takes him 2 minutes to walk 100 meters north and another 1 minute

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

0.50m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity is the change in displacement of a body with respect to time.

Velocity = ∆S/∆t

∆S = 100m - 70m

∆S = 30m

∆t = 2min - 1 min

∆t = 1min = 60secs

Substitute the given parameters into the formula for velocity

Velocity = 30m/60s

Velocity = 1/2 m/s

Average Velocity = 0.5m/s

A chain reaction results when a uranium atom is struck by a/an ______________released by a nearby Uranium atom undergoing fissio

finlep [7]

Answer:

Chain reaction is possible by neutron

Explanation:

Nuclear reaction is mainly two types,

⇒ Nuclear Fission : heavy atom split into two light atom.

Ex. Uranium, thorium

⇒ Nuclear fusion : lighter atom combine together

Ex. Hydrogen to helium

In fusion reaction the large amount of energy is produced as compare to fission reaction.

Sun gets brighter by fusion reaction.

In case of uranium fission reaction is possible by colliding neutron.

How long must it take for a communications satellite to make one complete orbit around the earth? (such an orbit is said to be g

vitfil [10]

The time period of the communications satellites must be 24 hours to make one complete orbit around the earth.

An object that has been placed into orbit in space on purpose is known as a satellite or artificial satellite. Most spacecraft, with the exception of passive satellites, contain a means of generating electricity for the electronics they carry, such as solar cells or radioisotope thermoelectric generators.

A communications satellite is a man-made spacecraft that uses a transponder to relay and amplify radio telecommunication signals. It establishes a channel of communication between a source transmitter and a receiver situated at various points on Earth.

Most satellites that orbit the Earth do so between 160 and 2,000 kilometers above the surface. Because of how closely the satellites are orbiting the Earth, this orbital regime is known as low Earth orbit or LEO. The normal orbital period for satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) is between 90 and 2 hours.
