Compare the light gathering power of a 1 meter diameter telescope to that of the human eye ,which has a diameter of roughly 2.5

centimeters. How many times more light can the telescope gather than the human eye?

Answer:

The telescope captures light at a rate 1600 times greater than the eyesight of humans!

Explanation:

The capability to gather light with an optical device correlates directly to the size of its aperture.

Thus, when assessing the light-gathering potential of two entities, it boils down to the ratio of their aperture sizes.

Assuming the telescope has a diameter of D = 1 m

And the diameter of a human eye is d = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

The comparison of light-gathering powers between the telescope and the human eye is given by D² ÷ d²

= (D²/d²) = (1²/0.025²) = 1600 times.

Answer:

Incomplete question: "Each block has a mass of 0.2 kg"

The velocity of the center of mass for the two-block system just prior to their collision is 2.9489 m/s

Explanation:

Provided information:

θ = angle of the surface = 37°

m = mass of each block = 0.2 kg

v = speed = 0.35 m/s

t = collision time = 0.5 s

Question: What is the velocity of the center of mass for the two-block system right before the blocks collide, vf =?

Change in momentum:

delta(P)=F*delta(t)

P_{f} -P_{i}=F*delta(t)

2m(v_{f} -v_{i})=F*delta(t)

v_{i} =0.35-0.35=0

It’s essential to calculate the required force:

F=(m+m)*g*sin\theta

Here, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

F=(0.2+0.2)*9.8*sin37=2.3591N

v_{f} =\frac{F*delta(t)}{2m} =\frac{2.3591*0.5}{2*0.2} =2.9489m/s

The acceleration of segment D is m/s2. Rank segments A, B , C from least accelerations to greatest acceleration. Least
Ostrovityanka [2204]

Answer:

D, C, B, A

Explanation:

The derivative from a velocity-time graph provides the acceleration value.

Segment A

\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{15m/s}{1s} = 15m/s^2

Segment B

\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{5m/s}{1s} = 5m/s^2

Segment C

\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{0m/s}{2s} = 0m/s^2

Segment D

\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-20m/s}{1s} = -20m/s^2

Sorted from the lowest to the highest acceleration:

D, C, B, A

kicyunya [2264]

Answer:

Amplitude, A = 0.049 meters

Explanation:

Given that

A harmonic wave propagates in the positive x direction at 6 m/s along a tight string. A fixed point along this string oscillates over time according to the equation:

y = 0.049 \cos(7t).......(1)

The general wave equation is expressed as:

y=A\cos(\omega t).......(2)

A denotes the wave's amplitude

When we compare equation (1) with (2), we find:

A = 0.049 meters

Thus, the amplitude of the wave is 0.049 meters.
