6. Why do telescopes have to have a good motorized drive system to move them quickly and smoothly? a. because the Earth is rotat

ing, with the telescope attached to it b. because astronomers typically have to look at many objects in the sky in a few minutes c. because all objects in the sky vary in brightness very quickly d. because the telescope can then be moved out from under the clouds to where it is clear e. You can’t fool me, telescopes never move; they stay in one position all night

Answer: The correct option is A ( because the Earth is rotating, with the telescope attached to it).

Explanation:

A telescope is a device that is used mostly for viewing distant objects. It's an optical instruments as it's made up of lens and curved mirror depending on the type of telescope. The first telescope was invented by Hans Lippershey in 1608. It is used extensively in war,sea and astronomical discoveries.

Parts of a typical telescope includes:

--> the optical system: this is the most important part of a telescope. This determines the optical aperture of the telescope, how bright or how sharp the formed image would be. This can be a lens or a mirror.

--> Eyepiece: this magnifies the image formed.

--> Motorized drive system: these drive system are mounted with the telescope to aid in a quick and smooth movement while detecting, for example, celestial bodies. This part of the telescope is important as the telescope is mounted on the earth surface which rotates about its axis from west to east. Since the drive system is motorized, it can automatically move very smoothly from east to west at exactly the same rate that Earth is rotating from west to east, so it can continue to point at the object being observed.

What is the speed of an object at rest
sammy [17]
The speed of an object is measured by calculating the distance it travels per unit time.
The formula in Physics for calculating speed is = distance/ time.

Since an object at rest is not covering any distance, the speed is always assumed to be 0 m/s.

8. An unpowered flywheel is slowed by a constant frictional torque. At time t = 0 it has an angular velocity of 200 rad/s. Ten s
allsm [11]

Answer:

a) \omega = 50\,\frac{rad}{s}, b) \omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

The magnitude of torque is a form of moment, that is, a product of force and lever arm (distance), and force is the product of mass and acceleration for rotating systems with constant mass. That is:

\tau = F \cdot r

\tau = m\cdot a \cdot r

\tau = m \cdot \alpha \cdot r^{2}

Where \alpha is the angular acceleration, which is constant as torque is constant. Angular deceleration experimented by the unpowered flywheel is:

\alpha = \frac{170\,\frac{rad}{s} - 200\,\frac{rad}{s} }{10\,s}

\alpha = -3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}

Now, angular velocities of the unpowered flywheel at 50 seconds and 100 seconds are, respectively:

a) t = 50 s.

\omega = 200\,\frac{rad}{s} - \left(3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (50\,s)

\omega = 50\,\frac{rad}{s}

b) t = 100 s.

Given that friction is of reactive nature. Frictional torque works on the unpowered flywheel until angular velocity is reduced to zero, whose instant is:

t = \frac{0\,\frac{rad}{s}-200\,\frac{rad}{s} }{\left(-3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)}

t = 66.667\,s

Since t > 66.667\,s, then the angular velocity is equal to zero. Therefore:

\omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}

Three sticks are arranged to form a right triangle. If the lengths of the three sticks are 0.47 m, 0.62 m and 0.78 m, what are t
Svetradugi [14.3K]

The angles in the triangle are 91 degrees, 53 degrees and 36 degrees respectively.

<h3>What is the cosine rule?</h3>

From the cosine rule we know that;

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2abcosC

Since;

a = 0.47 m

b =  0.62 m

c =  0.78 m

Then;

(0.78)^2 = (0.47)^2 + (0.62)^2 - 2(0.47 * 0.62)cosC

0.61 = 0.22 + 0.38 - 0.58 cosC

0.61 - ( 0.22 + 0.38) = - 0.58 cosC

0.01 = - 0.58 cosC

C = cos-1(0.01/-0.58)

C = 91 degrees

Using the sine rule;

b/Sin B = c/Sin C

0.62/sinB = 0.78/sin 91

0.62/Sin B = 0.78

B = sin-1 (0.62//0.78)

B = 53 degrees

Angle A is obtained from the sum of angles in a triangle;

180 - (91 + 53)

A = 36 degrees
