What is the definition of gravity in simple terms?
Tema [17]

Answer:

Gravity, also called gravitation, in mechanics, the universal force of attraction acting between all matter. ... On Earth all bodies have a weight, or downward force of gravity, proportional to their mass, which Earth's mass exerts on them. Gravity is measured by the acceleration that it gives to freely falling objects

1 : A force of attraction that tends to draw particles or bodies together.

2 : The attraction of bodies by the force of gravity toward the center of the earth.

A department store sells an ""astronomical telescope"" with an objective lens of 30 cm focal length and an eyepiece lens of foca
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The magnifying power of this telescope is (-60).

Explanation:

Given that,

The focal length of the objective lens of an astronomical telescope, f_o=30\ cm

The focal length of the eyepiece lens of an astronomical telescope, f_e=5\ mm=0.5\ cm

To find,

The magnifying power of this telescope.

Solution,

The ratio of focal length of the objective lens to the focal length of the eyepiece lens is called magnifying of the lens. It is given by :

m=\dfrac{-f_o}{f_e}

m=\dfrac{-30}{0.5}

m = -60

So, the magnifying power of this telescope is 60. Therefore, this is the required solution.
