Answer:

The telescope can gather light 1600 times more than the human eyes can!

Explanation:

The light gathering ability of an optical element is directly proportional to its area of opening.

So, in comparing the light gathering abilities for two objects, it is just the ratio of their area of opening.

Let the diameter of the telescope be D = 1 m

And the diameter of the human eyes be d = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

Light gathering ability of the telescope compared to the eyes = D² ÷ d²

= (D²/d²) = (1²/0.025²) = 1600 times.

The telescope can gather light 1600 times more than the human eyes can!

Hope this Helps!!!

In the graph above, what is the instantaneous speed of the object after the first five seconds?
alexdok [17]

Answer:

D) 25 m/s

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the following kinematics equation.

v_{f} =v_{i} +(a*t)\\

where:

Vf = final speed [m/s]

Vi = initial speed = 0

a = acceleration = 5[m/s^2]

t = time = 5[s]

After 5 seconds the acceleration is equal to 5 [m/s^2]

Now replacing the values in the equation:

Vf = 0 + (5*5)

Vf = 25[m/s]

Which of the following is not a part of a wave?
Alisiya [41]
B is the correct answer
y=Asin(wt-kx)
A=amplitude
f=frequency
x=wavelength
since refraction is not on the wave formula,then option B is the correct answer

A professor sits at rest on a stool that can rotate without friction. The rotational inertia of the professor-stool system is 4.
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

\omega=0.37 [rad/s]  

Explanation:

We can use the conservation of the angular momentum.

L=mvR

I\omega=mvR

Now the Inertia is I(professor_stool) plus mR², that is the momentum inertia of a hoop about central axis.

So we will have:

(I_{proffesor - stool}+mR^{2})\omega=mvR

Now, we just need to solve it for ω.

\omega=\frac{mvR}{I_{proffesor-stool}+mR^{2}}

\omega=\frac{1.5*2.7*0.4}{4.1+1.5*0.4^{2}}      

\omega=0.37 [rad/s]  

I hope it helps you!
