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.

 The global warming debate is centered upon whether added greenhouse gases released by human activity will overheat the Earth and cause harmful effects.</span><span>

At room temperature, sound travels at a speed of about 344 m/s in air. You see a distant flash of lightning and hear the thunder
beks73 [17]

Answer:

d=1.67mi

Explanation:

Assuming the light takes essentially no time to reach you, the distance at which the lightning occurred can be calculated by multiplying the speed of sound by the time it takes to hear the thunder:

d=v_st\\d=344\frac{m}{s}(7.8s)\\d=2683.2m*\frac{1mi}{1609.34m}=1.67mi

Answer:

A: In all cases, the acceleration was the same.

Explanation:

I know this because its a clear obvious answer not only that it was one of my USA TESTPREP questions and it was right.

All you mainly have to do is the math - F=ma , In each case , the acceleration is 5 m/s squared

A pilot took 1/2 hour to complete 1/3 of his trip. How much longer will it take him to complete his trip?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer: The answer is 1.5 hours.


Step-by-step explanation: Given that the pilot took 1/2 hour to complete 1/3rd of his trip. We are to calculate the time that he will take to complete his trip.

Time taken by the pilot to complete 1/3 rd of his trip = 1/2

Therefore, time taken by the pilot to complete his trip is given by

t=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3=1.5.

Thus, the pilot will take 1.5 hours to complete his trip.
