Length is not a vector because you only need to state a unit (etc. meters, centimetres, or feet) and not a direction

What is the momentum of a compact car that is 750 kg and is travelling 30 m/s?

MakcuM [25]

The formula for momentum is p = mv, where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity.

To solve for p, plug in 750 kg for mass and 30 m/s for velocity. • is a multiplication symbol

p = mv
p = 750kg • 30m/s
p = 22500 kg•m/s

If the total dissipated power is to be reduced by 10%, how much should the voltage be reduced to maintain the same leakage curre

harkovskaia [24]

Since P = V x I, a 10% reduction of power would lead to a 10% reduction in the product of voltage and current. What is left is 90% of the original power: .9P = .9(V x I). If we assume that current must be the same, then we can regroup the terms on the right-hand side as follows: .9P = (.9V) x I In this case, voltage is also reduced by 10% (100% - 90% = 10%).

On that system is In an isolated system, the net __ zero.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

the net work is 0

Explanation:

in an isolated system, there is no energy entering or exiting the system, and since work is dependent on the change in energy (W = ΔE) , with no change in energy, there is no work done. the net work done on or by the system must be 0

Listed following are the names and mirror diameters for six of the world’s greatest reflecting telescopes used to gather visible

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Large binocular telescope, Keck 1 telescope, Hobby-Ebberly telescope, Subaru telescope, Gemini North telescope, Magellan 2 telescope

Explanation:

How much light a telescope can collect depends on its diameter, since in a bigger area more photons will be collected.

Remember that in a circle the area is defined as:

$A = \pi r^{2}$ (1)

Where A is the area and r is its radius.

However, the radius can be determined by means of its diameter.

$d = 2r$

$r = \frac{d}{2}$ (1)

Where d is its diameter.

An example of this is when a person is collecting raindrops with a bucket and with a cup. Since the bucket has a bigger area than the cup, it will collect more raindrops by unit of time. In this scenario the raindrops represent the photons.

To determine the light collecting area of each telescope, equation 2 will be replaced in equation 1.

$A = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2}$ (3)

Case for Large binocular telescope:

$A_{mirror1} = \pi (\frac{8.4m}{2})^{2}$

$A_{mirror1} = 55.41m$

For the second mirror will be the same value

$A = A_{mirror1}+A_{mirror2}$

$A = 55.41m+55.41m$

$A= 110.82m$

Case for Keck 1 telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{10m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 78.53m$

Case for Hobby-Ebberly telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{9.2m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 66.47m$

Case for Subaru telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{8.3m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 54.10m$

Case for Gemini North telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{8m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 50.26m$

Case for Magellan 2 telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{6.5m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 33.18m$

Hence, they may be rank in the following way:

Large binocular telescope, Keck 1 telescope, Hobby-Ebberly telescope, Subaru telescope, Gemini North telescope, Magellan 2 telescope.

Key term:

Photons: particles that constitute light.
