The U.S. has plans to build a 30-meter telescope, while the Europeans are thinking about a 39-meter telescope. What technologica

Answer:

The mirror in these telescopes will be constructed from many smaller mirrors which will work together.

Explanation:

A telescope is defined as an optical instrument that is used to observe or view the distant objects. A telescope is made up of curved lenses or mirrors or by combining both.

In the context, both the US and the Europeans are planning to make a telescope which is 30 m and 39 m respectively. This could be possible as the mirrors that are used to make these telescope will be made from a many smaller mirrors that will work together as a single large mirror having a very large aperture.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

0.24 seconds

Explanation:

The signal will reach the computer at light speed = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Distance between the satellite and the computer = 3.6\times 10^7m

Since, the bodies have no acceleration relative to each other we use the following formula

Time = Distance / Time

\text{Time}=\frac{3.6\times 10^7}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time}=0.12\ s

One way delay would be at least 0.12 seconds.

But when you click on a link to open a website this signal has to be first sent to the satellite then the satellite would have to send the required signal back to the computer.

Hence, the minimum time delay would be 0.12+0.12 = 0.24 seconds

If the magnitude of the electric field in air exceeds roughly 3 ✕ 106 N/C, the air breaks down and a spark forms. For a two-disk
Westkost [7]

Answer:

1.843 x 10^-5 C  

Explanation:

<u><em>Givens:   </em></u>

It is given that the air starts ionizing when the electric field in the air exceeds a magnitude of 3 x 10^6 N/C, which means that the max electric field can stand without forming a spark is 3 x 10^6 N/C.  

Also it is given that the radius of the disk is 50 cm, it is required to find out the max amount of charge that the disk can hold without forming spark, which means the charge that would produce the max magnitude of the electric field that air can stand without forming spark, and since we know that the electric field in between 2 disk "Capacitor" is given by the following equation  

E = (Q/A)/∈o                                (1)

Where,

Q: total charge on the disk.

A: the area of the disk.  

<u><em>Calculations:  </em></u>

We want to find the quantity of charge on the disk that would produce an electric field of 3 x 10^6 N/C, knowing the radius of the disk we can find the cross-section of the disk, thus substituting in equation (1) we find the maximum quantity of charge the disk can hold  

Q = EA∈o

   = (3 x 10^6) x (π*0.50) x (8.85 x 10^-12)  

  = 1.843 x 10^-5 C  

note:

calculations maybe wrong but method is correct

2. A common physics experiment involves lowering an open tube into a cylinder of water and moving the tube up and down to adjust
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Explanation:

This question pertains to resonance in air column.  It is the case of closed air column in which fundamental note is formed at a length which is as follows

l = λ / 4 where l is length of tube and λ is wave length.

here l = .26 m

λ = .26 x 4 = 1.04 m

frequency of sound = 330 Hz

velocity of sound = frequency x wave length

= 330 x 1.04

= 343.2 m /s

b )

Next overtone will be produced at 3 times the length

so next length of air column = 3 x 26

= 78 cm

c )

If frequency of sound = 256 Hz

wavelength = velocity / frequency

= 343.2 / 256

= 1.34 m

= 134 cm

length of air column for resonance

= wavelength / 4

134/4

= 33.5 cm
