Answer:

A. It brings scientists closer to distant objects.

Explanation:

When light from infinite coming toward the lens of the telescope then this light is converge at the focal plane of the lens. This will image which is formed at the focal plane worked as an object for another lens of the telescope.

Now another lens made the final virtual image which is seen by the observer.

So here in this whole process the main working of Telescope is to form the image of a distant object near to the eye of an observer. So the light coming from the infinite distance is collected together and then a bright image is formed by that light so that observer is able to see the image clearly

so here correct answer would be

A. It brings scientists closer to distant objects.

I would say B because we used telescopes for space, right? And we can see the light.

If the wave represents a sound wave, explain how increasing amplitude will affect the loudness of the sound? If we decrease the
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Think of a sound wave like a wave on the ocean, or lake... It's not really water moving, as much as it's energy moving through the water. Ever see something floating on the water, and notice that it doesn't come in with the wave, but rides over the top and back down into the trough between them? Sound waves are very similar to that. If you looked at a subwoofer speaker being driven at say... 50 cycles a second, you'd actually be able to see the speaker cone moving back and forth. The more power you feed into the speaker, the more it moves back and forth, not more quickly, as that would be a higher frequency, but further in and further out, still at 50 cycles per second. Every time it pushed out, it's compressing the air in front of it... the compressed air moves away from the speaker's cone, but not as a breeze or wind, but as a wave through the air, similar to a wave on the ocean

More power, more amplitude, bigger "wave", louder ( to the human ear) sound.

If you had a big speaker ( subwoofer ) and ran a low frequency signal with enough power in it, you could hold a piece of paper in front of it, and see the piece of paper move in and out at exactly the same frequency as the speaker cone. The farther away from the speaker you got, the less it'd move as the energy of the sound wave dispersed through the room.

Sound is a wave

We hear because our eardrums resonates with this wave I.e. our ear drums will vibrate with the same frequency and amplitude. which is converted to an electrical signal and processed by our brain.

By increasing the amplitude our eardrums also vibrate with a higher amplitude which we experience as a louder sound.

Of course when this amplitude is too high the resulting resonance tears our eardrums so that they can't resonate with the sound wave I.e. we become deaf

The position-time graph for a bug crawling along a line is shown in item 4 below. Determine whether the velocity is positive, ne
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: The velocity at different marked time points are given as

t1 = -

t2 = +

t3 = +

t4 = -

t5 = 0

Explanation:

The slope of the tangent of the curve indicates the instantaneous velocity. So if the slope of the tangent is positive, that Is, the tangent makes a positive angle (above the horizontal axis) with the horizontal

axis, then the velocity at this point is positive, and if the slope of the tangent is negative, that is the tangent makes a negative angle with the horizontal axis (below the horizontal axis), then the velocity at this point is negative.

When the tangent of the line is parallel to the horizontal axis, the velocity is 0.

From the position-time graph attached, the sign on the instantaneous velocity for each time marked on the graph is given below

t1 = -

t2 = +

t3 = +

t4 = -

t5 = 0

The built-up beam is formed by welding together the thin plates of thickness 5 mm. determine the location of the shear center o.
atroni [7]

Answer:

The location of the shear center o is 0.033 or 33 m

Explanation:

Solution

Recall that,

The moment of inertia of the section is =  I = 0.05 * 0.4 ^3 /12 + 0.005 * 0.2 ^3/12

= 30 * 10 ^ ⁻⁶ m⁴

Now,

The first moment of inertia is

Q =ῩA = [ (0.1 -x) + x/2] (0.005 * x)

= 0.5x * 10 ^⁻³ - 2.5 x * 10⁻³ x²

Thus,

The shear flow is,

q =  VQ/I

so,

P =  (0.5x * 10 ^⁻³ - 2.5 x * 10⁻³ x²)/ 30 * 10 ^⁻⁶

P = (16.67 x - 83. 33  x²)

The shear force resisted by the shorter web becomes

Vw,₂ = 2∫ = ₀.₁ and ₀ = P (16.67 x - 83. 33  x²) dx = 0.11x

Then,

We take the moment at a point A

∑Mₐ = 0

- ( p * e)- (Vw₂ * 0.3 ) = 0

e =  0.11 p * 0.3/p

which gives us 0.033 m

= 33 m

Therefore the location of the shear center o is 0.033 or 33 m

Note: Kindly find an attached diagram to the question given above as part of the explanation solved with it.
