We can salve the problem by using the formula:
where F is the force applied, k is the spring constant and x is the stretching of the spring.
From the first situation we can calculate the spring constant, which is given by the ratio between the force applied and the stretching of the spring:
By using the value of the spring constant we calculated in the first step, we can calculate the new stretching of the spring when a force of 33 N is applied:
Explanation:
if the elevator is moving upward with the constant speed the spring scale will read 18 N which is the mass of each of the two blocks attached by separate springs to the scale at opposite ends.
Answer:
Because the light reflects multiple times until it gets to the Cassegrain focus.
Explanation:
The Cassegrain design can be seen in a reflecting telescope. In this type of design the light is collected by a concave mirror, and then intercepted by a secondary convex mirror, and sends it down to a central opening in the primary mirror (concave mirror), in which a detector is placed (Cassegrain focus)
Since, the light is reflected many times due to Cassegrain design, that leads to shorter telescopes.
