Astronomers build optical telescopes on tops of mountains because a. there is less air to dim the light. b. the seeing is better

V125BC [204]

Answer: choices a and b

Explanation:

Telescope can be defined as am optical instrument which is designed to observe the distant objects clear and nearer. It comprises of arrangement of lenses which allow the rays of light to be collected. The collected light is focused and the image so produced is magnified in the form of an image. The telescopes are prepared and manufactured on mountains top as this will help in preventing the distortion of light obtain from the star due to the fluctuation of air mass in the atmosphere. The atmospheric distortion affects the resolution, and affects the vision. The atmospheric pressure is low at the mountain tops so it will help in better observation of the sky.

The glass in a window is 35 inches wide and 20 inches tall, and standard atmospheric pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch. Wh

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:103 pounds

Explanation:

Given

width of window $b=35 in.$

height of window $h=20 in.$

standard atmospheric pressure $P_{outside}=14.7 psi$

Also $P_{inside}=1.01P_{outside}$

Thus Net Force on the window will be the algebraic sum of Force due to outside and inside Pressure .

$F_{net}=(P_{inside}-P_{outside})\cdot A$

$F_{net}=P_{outside}(1.01-1)\times 35\times 20$

$F_{net}=14.7\times 0.01\times 35\times 20$

$F_{net}=102.9\ pounds\approx 103\ pounds$

A horizontal 826 N merry-go-round of radius 1.17 m is started from rest by a constant horizontal force of 57.8 N applied tangent

Julli [10]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the merry-go-round is $\bf{475.47~J}$ .

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of the merry-go-round, $W_{g} = 826~N$

Radius of the merry-go-round, $r = 1.17~m$

the force on the merry-go-round, $F = 57.8~N$

Acceleration due to gravity, $g= 9.8~m.s^{-2}$

Time given, $t=3.47~s$

Mass of the merry-go-round is given by

$m &=& \dfrac{W_{g}}{g}\\~~~~&=& \dfrac{826~N}{9.8~m.s^{-2}}\\~~~~&=& 84.29~Kg$

Moment of inertial of the merry-go-round is given by

$I &=& \dfrac{1}{2}mr^{2}\\~~~&=& \dfrac{1}{2}(84.29~Kg)(1.17~m)^{2}\\~~~&=& 57.69~Kg.m^{2}$

Torque on the merry-go-round is given by

$\tau &=& F.r\\~~~&=& (57.8~N)(1.17~m)\\~~~&=& 67.63~N.m$

The angular acceleration is given by

$\alpha &=& \dfrac{\tau}{I}\\~~~&=& \dfrac{67.63~N.m}{57.69~Kg.m^{2}}\\~~~&=& 1.17~rad.s^{-2}$

The angular velocity is given by

$\omega &=& \alpha.t\\~~~&=& (1.17~rad.s^{-2})(3.47~s)\\~~~&=& 4.06~rad.s^{-1}$

The kinetic energy of the merry-go-round is given by

$E &=& \dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^{2}\\~~~&=&\dfrac{1}{2}(57.69~Kg.m^{2})(4.06~rad.s^{-1})^{2}\\~~~&=& 475.47~J$
