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!!!

The circuit you should use to find the open-circuit voltage is
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Incomplete questions check attachment for circuit diagram.

Explanation:

We are going to use superposition

So, we will first open circuit the current source and find the voltage Voc.

So, check attachment for open circuit diagram.

From the diagram

We notice that R3 is in series with R4, so its equivalent is given below

Req(3-4) = R3 + R4

R(34) = 20+40 = 60 kΩ

Notice that R2 is parallel to the equivalent of R3 and R4, then, the equivalent of all this three resistor is

Req(2-3-4) = R2•R(34)/(R2+R(34))

R(234) = (100×60)/(100+60)

R(234) = 37.5 kΩ

We notice that R1 and R(234) are in series, then, we can apply voltage divider rule to find voltage in R(234)

Therefore

V(234) = R(234) / [R1 + R(234)] × V

V(234) = 37.5/(25+37.5) × 100

V(234) = 37.5/62.5 × 100

V(234) = 60V.

Note, this is the voltage in resistor R2, R3 and R4.

Note that, R2 is parallel to R3 and R4. Parallel resistor have the same voltage, then voltage across R2 equals voltage across R34

V(34) = 60V.

Now, we also know that R3 and R4 are in series,

So we can know the voltage across R4 which is the Voc we are looking for.

Using voltage divider

V4 = Voc = R4/(R4 + R(34)) × V(34)

Voc = 40/(40+60) × 60

Voc = 24V

This is the open circuit Voltage

Now, finding the short circuit voltage when we short circuit the voltage source

Check attachment for circuit diagram.

From the circuit we notice that R1 and R2 are in parallel, so it's equivalent becomes

Req(1-2) = R1•R2/(R1+R2)

R(12) = 25×100/(25+100)

R(12) = 20 kΩ

We also notice that the equivalent of Resistor R1 and R2 is in series to R3. Then, the equivalent resistance of the three resistor is

Req(1-2-3) = R(12) + R(3)

R(123) = 20 + 20

R(123) = 40 kΩ

We notice that, the equivalent resistance of the resistor R1, R2, and R3 is in series to resistor R4.

So using current divider rule to find the current in resistor R4.

I(4) = R(123) / [R4+R(123)] × I

I(4) = 40/(40+40) × 8

I(4) = 4mA

Then, using ohms law, we can find the voltage across the resistor 4 and the voltage is the required Voc

V = IR

V4 = Voc = I4 × R4

Voc = 4×10^-3 × 40×10^3

Voc = 160V

Then, the sum of the short circuit voltage and the open circuit voltage will give the required Voc

Voc = Voc(open circuit) + Voc(short circuit)

Voc = 24 + 160

Voc = 184V.

An object moving with a speed or 67m/s and has kinetic energy of 500 J what is the mass of the object
saveliy_v [14]
To solve this equation, simply plug the values into the equation for calculating kinetic energy.

KE = 1/2mv^2
500 = 1/2(m)(67^2)
500 =2244.5m
m = 500/2244.5 = 0.222 kg.

100 Points!!!
Kaylis [27]

(1) The image of an object placed further from the lens than the focal point will be upside down and smaller than the object.

(2) When light rays reflect, they bounce back.

(3)  Images formed by a concave lens will look magnified.

(4) When light rays enter a different medium, they bend.

<h3>1.0 Object placed further from the lens than the focal point</h3>

The image of an object placed further from the lens than the focal point will be diminished and inverted.

Thus, the correct answer will be "upside down and smaller than the object".

<h3>2.0 What is reflection of light?</h3>

The ability of light to bounce back when it strike a hard surface is known as refection.

<h3>3.0 Image formed by concave lens</h3>

A concave lens is diverging lens is usually virtual, erect and magnified.

<h3>4.0 Refraction of light</h3>

The change in speed of light when it travels from medium to another medium is known as refraction. Refraction is also, the ability of light to bend around obstacles.
