Answer:· A model is a description of natural phenomenon that scientists can use to make predictions. A good model is both as accurate as possible and as simple as possible, which makes it not only powerful but also easy to understand. However, no matter how good they are, models will almost always have limitations.

Answer:

* Larger mirrors collect more light and therefore fainter and more distant objects can have enough intensity to be detected

* arger mirrors decreases the angle of dispersion giving a better resolution of the bodies

Explanation:

Refracting telescopes get bigger every day for two main reasons.

* Larger mirrors collect more light and therefore fainter and more distant objects can have enough intensity to be detected

* the diffraction process for circular apertures is given by

θ = 1.22 λ / D

where d is the diameter of the mirror, therefore having larger mirrors decreases the angle of dispersion giving a better resolution of the bodies

A 234.0 g piece of lead is heated to 86.0oC and then dropped into a calorimeter containing 611.0 g of water that initally is at

Vaselesa [24]

Answer: $24.70 ^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

Given

mass of lead piece $m_l=234 gm\approx 0.234 kg$

mass of water in calorimeter $m_w=611 gm\approx 0.611 kg$

Initial temperature of water $T_w=24^{\circ}C$

Initial temperature of lead piece $T_l=24^{\circ}C$

we know heat capacity of lead and water are $125.604 J/kg-k$ and $4.184 kJ/kg-k$ respectively

Let us take $T ^{\circ}C$ be the final temperature of the system

Conserving energy

heat lost by lead=heat gained by water

$m_lc_l(T_l-T)=m_wc_w(T-T_w)$

$0.234\times 125.604(86-T)=0.611\times 4.184\times 1000(T-24)$

$86-T=\frac{0.611\times 4.184\times 1000}{29.391}(T-24)$

$86-T=86.97T-2087.49$

$T=\frac{2173.491}{87.97}=24.70^{\circ}C$
