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.

serg [3582]

Answer:

a_{acceleriation}=-4cm/s^{2}\\ or\\ a_{acceleriation}=-0.04m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Data provided

initial velocity v₀=20 cm/s at time t=3s

final velocity vf=0 at time t=8 s

Required

Average Acceleration for the interval from 3s to 8s

Solution

Acceleration can be defined as the first derivative of velocity concerning time

a_{acceleriation} =\frac{dv_{velocity}}{dt_{time}}\\a_{acceleriation} =\frac{v_{f}-v_{o} }{dt}\\ a_{acceleriation} =\frac{0-20cm/s }{8s-3s}\\ a_{acceleriation}=-4cm/s^{2}\\ or\\ a_{acceleriation}=-0.04m/s^{2}

The G string on a guitar is 69 cm long and has a fundamental frequency of 196 Hz. A guitarist can play different notes by pushin
Keith_Richards [3271]
Δd = 23 cm. When the eta string of the guitar has nodes at both ends, the resulting waves create a standing wave, which can be expressed with the following formulas: Fundamental: L = ½ λ, 1st harmonic: L = 2 ( λ / 2), 2nd harmonic: L = 3 ( λ / 2), Harmonic n: L = n λ / 2, where n is an integer. The rope's speed can be calculated using the formula v = λ f. This speed remains constant based on the tension and linear density of the rope. Now, let's determine the speed with the provided data: v = 0.69 × 196, yielding v = 135.24 m/s. Next, we will find the wavelengths for the two frequencies: λ₁ = v / f₁, which gives λ₁ = 135.24 / 233.08, equaling λ₁ = 0.58022 m; λ₂ = v / f₂ results in λ₂ = 135.24 / 246.94, consequently λ₂ = 0.54766 m. We'll substitute into the resonance equation Lₙ = n λ/2. At the third fret, m = 3, therefore L₃ = 3 × 0.58022 / 2, resulting in L₃ = 0.87033 m. For the fourth fret, m = 4, which gives L₄ = 4 × 0.54766 / 2, equating to L₄ = 1.09532 m. The distance between the two frets is Δd = L₄ – L₃, so Δd = 1.09532 - 0.87033, leading to Δd = 0.22499 m or 22.5 cm, rounded to 23 cm.

A 6V radio with a current of 2A is turned on for 5 minutes. Calculate the energy transferred in joules
ValentinkaMS [3465]

Answer:

R=V/I=6/2=3 ohm

time = 5 minutes = 5*60=300 seconds

I=2 A

Energy = I²Rt=(2)²*3*300=4*900=3600 J

Two frictionless lab carts start from rest and are pushed along a level surface by a constant force. Students measure the magnit
Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is higher for the first cart.

Explanation:

For the second cart, its mass is 2kg and the momentum measured is 10kg m/s, which leads to

(2kg)v = 10kg\: m/s

resulting in

v = 5m/s.

Consequently, the kinetic energy for the 3kg cart ends up as

K.E.  = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

= \dfrac{1}{2}(2kg)(5m/s)^2 =  25J

\boxed{K.E = 25J}

indicating it is less than that of the 1kg cart so it follows that the first cart possesses greater kinetic energy.

Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

F = 0.535 N

Explanation:

We will apply energy concepts, considering both the peak and the bottom of the path.

Top

   Em₀ = U = mg y

Bottom

    Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

    Emo =Em_{f}

    mg y = ½ m v²

    v = √ (2gy)

   y = L - L cos θ

  v = √ (2g L (1 - cos θ))

Next, we will employ Newton's second law at the lowest point where the acceleration is centripetal.

     F = ma

     a = v² / r

For the turning radius, the cable length is r = L.

    F = m 2g (1 - cos θ)

Now, let's find the result.

    F = 2  1.25  9.8 (1 - cos 12)

    F = 0.535 N
