Answer: option c: It orbits beyond the Earth's atmosphere to avoid scattering of light.

Explanation:

Hubble space telescope orbits Earth and sends images of distant objects. The images formed by Hubble are better than the optical telescopes used on land. This is because the Hubble telescope is a space telescope. Light from the distant objects when reaches the land telescopes transmits through atmosphere, where scattering occurs. Some the light rays bounce back. This is avoided by the space telescope Hubble.

kakasveta [241]

The answer is

-Small f and large D.

The explanation:

-when The car jack is an example of a machine, which is defined as anything that a person can use to make the exertion of force easier.

-So with the small force he exerts on the jack, the distance that the car is lifted up increases .

and People needs help of machines to increase their force.  People cannot lift a car without a machine. Using the leverage  or hydraulic principles the machines increase your force.

If you use a large leverage you execute a large movement with little force and as result the other side will move small distances with a greater force.

This is the third time I’m asking, please, On a wet road, is a higher coefficient of friction on the tires safer or a lower one
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

higher is safer

Explanation:

because it is a wet slippery surface, you would need more friction on the tires, to get more traction in the slippery wet road, if you had low friction you would not move anywhere and or could swerve off somewhere

Hydrogen bombs and stars both produce energy with nuclear _____.
Kruka [31]

Answer;

- Nuclear fusion

Explanation;

-Hydrogen bombs and stars both produce energy with the nuclear fusion. On other side, the Sun and other stars make heat and light by nuclear reactions.

-The first stage of a hydrogen bomb involves a fission explosion which in turn leads to a nuclear fusion. The extreme heat and pressure from the initial atomic blast force together deuterium and tritium (two light gases made of hydrogen). When they are forced together, some of the hydrogen atoms fuse to one another, creating helium.

-This process of fusion releases even more energy per unit of mass than fission does, and the energy released from the fusion reaction also feeds back into the fission reaction, increasing its output.

A sample of Bismuth-212 has a mass of 2.64 grams (g) after 121 seconds (s). What was the initial mass of the sample if Bismuth-2
uysha [10]
The mass of a radioactive element at time t is given by
m(t) = m_0 ( \frac{1}{2} )^{ \frac{t}{t_{1/2}} }
where m_0 is the mass at time zero, while t_{1/2} is the half-life of the element.

In our problem, m(t)=2.64 g, t=121.0 s and t_{1/2}=60.5 s, so we can find the initial mass m_0:
m_0= \frac{m(t)}{ (\frac{1}{2})^{t/t_{1/2}} } = \frac{2.64 g}{( \frac{1}{2} )^{121/60.5}} =4 \cdot 2.64 g=10.56 g
