Answer: choices a and b
Explanation:
Telescope can be defined as am optical instrument which is designed to observe the distant objects clear and nearer. It comprises of arrangement of lenses which allow the rays of light to be collected. The collected light is focused and the image so produced is magnified in the form of an image. The telescopes are prepared and manufactured on mountains top as this will help in preventing the distortion of light obtain from the star due to the fluctuation of air mass in the atmosphere. The atmospheric distortion affects the resolution, and affects the vision. The atmospheric pressure is low at the mountain tops so it will help in better observation of the sky.

What is the law of inertia? Give an example of inertia in action.
Answer:
The law of inertia is another name for Newton's first law. Newton's first law states that an object will not change its motion or direction unless a force acts on it. An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion if there isn't any force acting on them.
Example: When a car uses its brakes to stop, you sometimes feel like you are sliding forward. That is because the inertia keeps you moving forward, even though the car stopped.
Explanation:
Answer:
Law of inertia is sometimes called Newtons First law of motion.
Newtons first law of motion states that"A body will continue to its state of rest or motion unless external force acted upon it.
A student has two identical sheets of paper. He crumples one up into a small ball. If he drops the sheet of paper and the ball of paper off a building at the same time, which of the following statements describes the result?
A. The sheet of paper because it is more affected by gravity.
B. The ball of paper hits the ground first because it is more affected by gravity
C. The sheet of paper and the ball of paper hit the ground at the same time.
D. The ball of paper hits the ground first because it has less surface area.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
basically, because the ball "weighs" more now, it will hit the ground quicker. so technically gravity is more affective towards it. the piece of paper kind of floats it's way down. gravity isn't pushing on one force more, but because because the ball weighs more, it technically would be said so. hope this helps!
Answer:
the ball of paper, because it has less surface area.

Two air craft P and Q are flying at the same speed 300m/s. The direction along which P is flying is at right angles to the direction along which Q is flying. Find the magnitude of velocity of the air craft P relative to air craft Q
Answer:
424.26 m/s
Explanation:
Given that Two air craft P and Q are flying at the same speed 300m/s. The direction along which P is flying is at right angles to the direction along which Q is flying. Find the magnitude of velocity of the air craft P relative to air craft Q
The relative speed will be calculated by using pythagorean theorem
Relative speed = sqrt(300^2 + 300^2)
Relative speed = sqrt( 180000 )
Relative speed = 424.26 m/s
Therefore, the magnitude of velocity of the air craft P relative to air craft Q is 424.26 m/s

The range of human hearing is 20 Hz – 20 000 Hz.
Calculate the longest and shortest wavelengths we can hear.
Explanation:
the velocity of sound in air is 330m/s
and v=fh, where h is wavelength f is frequency,
h=v/f.......(1)
longer wavelength
h=330/20,h=16.5m
shorter wavelength
h=330/20000,h=1.65x10-²m
The lesser frequency was used for finding the longer wavelength since wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency,
thus an increase in frequency brings a decrease in wavelength.
and shorter wavelengths are more high and intense
hope this helps
How are amplitude, intensity, and
loudness related?
Answer:
Amplitude is a measure of the size of sound waves. It depends on the amount of energy that started the waves. Greater amplitude waves have more energy and greater intensity, so they sound louder. The same amount of energy is spread over a greater area, so the intensity and loudness of the sound is less.

A tungsten wire is 1.5m long and has a diameter of A current of flows through the wire. The resistivity of the wire is 5.6 * 10 ^ - 8 What is the potential difference across the ends of the wire?
Complete Question:
A tungsten wire is 1.5 m long and has a diameter of 1.0 mm. A current of 60 mA flows through the wire. The resistivity of the wire is 5.6 * 10^-8 Ωm. What is the potential difference across the ends of the wire?
Answer:
Potential difference, V = 0.00642 Volts.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Diameter = 1 mm to meters = 1/1000 = 0.001 m
Length = 1.5m
Current = 60mA = 60/1000 = 0.06 Amperes.
Resistivity = 5.6 * 10^-8 Ωm
To find the potential difference across the ends of the wire;
First of all, we would determine the cross-sectional area of the wire (circle);
[tex] Radius, r = \frac {diameter}{2} [/tex]
[tex] Radius = \frac {0.001}{2} [/tex]
Radius = 0.0005 m
Area of wire (circle) = πr²
Substituting into the above formula, we have;
Area = 3.142 × (0.0005)²
Area = 3.142 × 2.5 × 10^-7
Area = 7.855 × 10^-7 m²
Next, we find the resistance of wire;
Mathematically, resistance is given by the formula;
[tex] Resistance = P \frac {L}{A} [/tex]
Where;
P is the resistivity of the material.
L is the length of the material.
A is the cross-sectional area of the material.
Substituting into the formula, we have;
[tex] Resistance = 5.6 * 10^{-8} \frac {1.5}{7.855 * 10^{-7}} [/tex]
[tex] Resistance = 5.6 * 10^{-8} * 1909611.712 [/tex]
Resistance = 0.107 Ohms.
Now, we can find the potential difference using the formula;
[tex] V = IR[/tex]
Where;
V represents voltage or potential difference measured in volts.
I represents current measured in amperes.
R represents resistance measured in ohms.
Substituting into the formula, we have;
[tex] V = 0.06*0.107[/tex]
Potential difference, V = 0.00642 Volts.

When we touch a Van de Graaff generator, our hair may stand up if it is dry. This happens only if the strands of our hair do what?
Answer:
Repel each other.
Explanation:
Van de Graaff generator is a device that was invented in 1929, by an American physicist called Robert J. Van de Graaff.
A Van de Graaff generator refers to an electrostatic generator that typically involves the use of a moving belt to accumulate electric charge on a hollow globe that is made from metal placed on top of an insulated column and thereby, creating very high electric potentials i.e very high voltage-direct current (DC) electricity at low current levels.
Generally, when we touch a Van de Graaff generator, our hair may stand up if it is dry. This happens only if the strands of our hair repel each other because they are like charges i.e having the same potentials.
Which household item uses radiation in a beneficial way? conventional ovens smoke detectors electric air filters computers and TV sets
Answer:
Smoke detectors
Explanation:
This is because the ionization chamber in smoke detectors uses radiation, a form of heat transfer to detect smoke.
.The NRC allows beneficial use of smoke detectors which is a radioactive material because a smoke detector has the ability to save lives . it's ability to save lives outweighs any health risk from the radiation. The smoke detector use a very minimal amounts of radioactive materials.
Answer: The household item which uses radiation in a beneficial way is the SMOKE DETECTORS
Explanation:
Radiation is a type of energy that has the ability to travel through space and penetrate materials. There are various types of radiation which include alpha, beta and gamma rays. Many uses of radiation help to ensure high quality and safety of our daily lives. A typical example is seen in smoke detectors.
Smoke detectors are devices installed in a building which serves the purpose of detecting smoke which usually is associated with fire and sounding off an alarm. The types of smoke detectors available depends on their mode of action and these include:
--> Ionization smoke detectors: These type of detector are generally more sensitive to flamming fires. They have an in built small amount of RADIOACTIVE material between two electrically charged plates, which ionizes the air and causes current to flow between the plates. When smoke enters the chamber, it disrupts the flow of ions, thus reducing the flow of current and activating the alarm. An isotope of americium which emits alpha particles is used in this type of smoke detectors and it's an example of an alpha radiation.
Therefore, the household item which uses radiation in a beneficial way is the SMOKE DETECTORS.
