Why are the largest visible-light telescopes in the world made with mirrors rather than lenses?

Physics

Light distorts through lenses more then it does on mirrors. Images are harder to make out and mirrors are cheaper then all the glass they need for the lenses especially because of contorting the lenses.


Hope this helps!

Suppose a car is traveling in the negative x-direction and comes to a stop. What is the sign of that car’s acceleration? How do
Oduvanchick [21]

We have equation of motion v = u + at

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, and t = time

In this case car is travelling in -x direction

Velocity of car = displacement / time

Since displacement value is increasing in negative x axis it's initial velocity is negative

And it's final velocity is zero since it comes to rest, and time is also positive

So, v= u+ at => 0 = -u + at

   So, a = u/t

Which is positive and along positive X - direction
