Answer:

(a) 16.777 miles

(b) Yes, he exceeded the speed limit

Explanation:

(a)

We need to perform the necessary calculations to convert kilometers to miles:

27km*\frac{1000m}{1km} *\frac{1mi}{1609.34m} =16.77706389mi

Thus, the distance of the trip in miles is:

d=16.77706389mi

(b)

Next, we will compute the man's speed during the journey:

v=\frac{d}{t}

Before that, we must convert minutes to hours:

16min*\frac{1h}{60min} =2.666666667h

The resulting speed is:

v=\frac{16.77706389mi}{2.666666667h} =62.91398959\frac{mi}{h}

Consequently:

62.91398959\frac{mi}{h}>55\frac{mi}{h}

Thus, it can be concluded that the driver was speeding

What is meant in astronomy by the phrase "adaptive optics?
kicyunya [3294]

Response: a. The mirrors and eyepiece of a large telescope are designed with spring-loaded components to quickly return to a predetermined position.

Justification:

Adaptive optics refers to a technique employed by various astronomical observatories to compensate in real-time for the atmospheric turbulence that impacts astronomical imaging.

This is executed by integrating advanced deformable mirrors into the telescope's optical pathway, operated by a set of computer-controlled actuators. This allows for obtaining clearer images despite the atmospheric fluctuations that create distortions.

It is crucial to note that this process requires a moderately bright reference star located closely to the object being studied.

However, locating such stars is not always feasible, prompting the use of a strong laser beam directed at the upper atmosphere to create artificial stars.
