Another boat has been heading due east at 15 km/h and reaches the same dock at 9:00 PM How many minutes after 8:00 PM were the two boats closest together

Answer:at 21.6 min they were separated by 12 km

Explanation:

We can consider the next diagram

B2------15km/h------->Dock

|

|

B1 at 20km/h

|

|

V

So by the time B1 leaves, being B2 traveling at constant 15km/h and getting to the dock one hour later means it was at 15km from the dock, the other boat, B1 is at a distance at a given time, considering constant speed of 20km/h*t going south, where t is in hours, meanwhile from the dock the B2 is at a distance of (15km-15km/h*t), t=0, when it is 8pm.

Then we have a right triangle and the distance from boat B1 to boat B2, can be measured as the square root of (15-15*t)^2 +(20*t)^2. We are looking for a minimum, then we have to find the derivative with respect to t. This is 5*(25*t-9)/(sqrt(25*t^2-18*t+9)), this derivative is zero at t=9/25=0,36 h = 21.6 min, now to be sure it is a minimum we apply the second derivative criteria that states that if the second derivative at the given critical point is positive it means here we have a minimum, and by calculating the second derivative we find it is 720/(25 t^2 - 18 t + 9)^(3/2) that is positive at t=9/25, then we have our answer. And besides replacing the value of t we get the distance is 12 km.

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.
