I do not know what the school expects as an answer, but advantage of reflecting telescopes is that there is only one major reflecting surface, so it is quite easy to create a 6 or 8 inch telescope by an amateur, after adding on a prism and an eyepiece. (a microscope eyepiece could be used).
MY answer would be "easier to build". (it still takes tens of hours to grind and polish the single plane surface to a parabolic surface).
Electromagnetic waves all have the same velocity in the same medium. However, since frequencies vary widely, so do wavelengths.
Answer:
E
Explanation:
The police car is going to fast for the cop to hear and the same is with the speeder its who hears its highest pitch because it drives right past you and your not moving just standing on the cross walk
-- Accelerating at the rate of 8 m/s², Andy's speed
after 30 seconds is
(8 m/s²) x (30.0 s) = 240 m/s .
-- His average speed during that time is
(1/2) (0 + 240 m/s) = 120 m/s .
-- In 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s,
Andy will travel a distance of
(120 m/s) x (30 sec) = 3,600 m
= 3.6 km .
"But how ? ! ?", you ask.
How in the world can Andy leave a stop light and then
cover 3.6 km = 2.24 miles in the next 30 seconds ?
The answer is: His acceleration of 8 m/s², or about 0.82 G
is what does it for him.
At that rate of acceleration ...
-- Andy achieves "Zero to 60 mph" in 3.35 seconds,
and then he keeps accelerating.
-- He hits 100 mph in 5.59 seconds after jumping the light ...
and then he keeps accelerating.
-- He hits 200 mph in 11.2 seconds after jumping the light ...
and then he keeps accelerating.
-- After accelerating at 8 m/s² for 30 seconds, Andy and his
car are moving at 537 miles per hour !
We really don't know whether he keeps accelerating,
but we kind of doubt it.
A couple of observations in conclusion:
-- We can't actually calculate his displacement with the information given.
Displacement is the distance and direction between the starting- and
ending-points, and we're not told whether Andy maintains a straight line
during this tense period, or is all over the road, adding great distance
but not a lot of displacement.
-- It's also likely that sometime during this performance, he is pulled
over to the side by an alert cop in a traffic-control helicopter, and
never actually succeeds in accomplishing the given description.
Find the amount of work that the spring does. This can be found using the equation 1/2kx^2. Then, you must set that equal to the amount of kinetic energy the car has. This is possible thanks to the work-energy theorem.
1/2kx^2 = 1/2mv^2
Solve to find velocity. Remember, the spring is displaced .15 m, not 15!
To find the acceleration, use F = ma. The force being applied to the car is kx, and you know the mass. You do the math.
For problem C I don't know, haven't done that yet in my class. Sorry!
The answer is AREA .............
