Why do reflecting telescopes usually have a secondary mirror in addition to a primary mirror?

Once the starlight or moonlight comes down the tube and hits the big main mirror at the bottom, it's reflected, and heads back up the tube, along the same way it came in. But if you're looking through an eyepiece, the eyepiece is on the SIDE of the tube. So you need another small mirror, to catch the focused light before it goes up out of the tube, and send it sideways to the eyepiece.

An ideal spring is mounted horizontally, with its left end fixed. The force constant of the spring is 170 N/m. A glider of mass
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

First of all we shall find the velocity at equilibrium point of mass 1.2 kg .

It will be ω A , where ω is angular frequency and A is amplitude .

ω = √ ( k / m )

= √ (170 / 1.2 )

= 11.90 rad /s

amplitude A = .045 m

velocity at middle point ( maximum velocity ) = 11.9 x .045 m /s

= .5355 m /s

At middle point , no force acts so we can apply law of conservation of momentum

m₁ v₁ = ( m₁ + m₂ ) v

1.2 x .5355 = ( 1.2 + .48 ) x v

v = .3825 m /s

= 38.25 cm /s

Let new amplitude be A₁ .

1/2 m v² = 1/2 k A₁²

( 1.2 + .48 ) x v² = 170 x A₁²

( 1.2 + .48 ) x .3825² = 170 x A₁²

A₁ = .0379 m

New amplitude is .0379 m

"Videos of hoverboard riders who were injured when they fell while operating their hoverboards at a low speeds "went viral" over
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The answer is "No, Hoverboards are risky, and riders are in danger of falling".

Explanation:

It's also known as a self-balanced scooter, it handheld electrical devices traveling on two wheels are hoverboards. It dominated the industry around 2015 and since then has become more and more successful. A rider is balanced on a frame between these wheels, driven by battery-powered lithium-ion batteries.
