<h2>
Resultant is 235.54 pounds at an angle 44.16° to X axis.</h2>
Explanation:
Forces are 100 pound and 150 pound and angles with x axis are 20°and 60°.
That is force 1 is 100 pound with x axis at 20°
F₁ = 100 cos 20 i + 100 sin 20 j
F₁ = 93.97 i + 34.20 j
That is force 2 is 150 pound with x axis at 60°
F₂ = 150 cos 60 i + 150 sin 60 j
F₂ = 75 i + 129.90 j
F₁ + F₂ = 93.97 i + 34.20 j + 75 i + 129.90 j
F₁ + F₂ = 168.97 i + 164.10 j

Resultant is 235.54 pounds at an angle 44.16° to X axis.
It increases confidence because the more times you conduct the same experiment over and over should either prove your hypothesis right and wrong and eliminate any random occurrences that might affect your results.
The so-called "terminal velocity" is the fastest that something can fall
through a fluid. Even though there's a constant force pulling it through,
the friction or resistance of plowing through the surrounding substance
gets bigger as the speed grows, so there's some speed where the resistance
is equal to the pulling force, and then the falling object can't go any faster.
A few examples:
-- the terminal velocity of a sky-diver falling through air,
-- the terminal velocity of a pecan falling through honey,
-- the terminal velocity of a stone falling through water.
It's not possible to say that "the terminal velocity is ----- miles per hour".
If any of these things changes, then the terminal velocity changes too:
-- weight of the falling object
-- shape of the object
-- surface texture (smoothness) of the object
-- density of the surrounding fluid
-- viscosity of the surrounding fluid .
Answer:

Explanation:
Given:
- spring constant of the spring attached to the input piston,

- mass subjected to the output plunger,

<u>Now, the force due to the mass:</u>



<u>Compression in Spring:</u>

I do not know what the school expects as an answer, but advantage of reflecting telescopes is that there is only one major reflecting surface, so it is quite easy to create a 6 or 8 inch telescope by an amateur, after adding on a prism and an eyepiece. (a microscope eyepiece could be used).
MY answer would be "easier to build". (it still takes tens of hours to grind and polish the single plane surface to a parabolic surface).
Electromagnetic waves all have the same velocity in the same medium. However, since frequencies vary widely, so do wavelengths.
