Consider two future observatories in space. Observatory X consists of a single 50-meter telescope. Observatory Y is an interferometer consisting of five 10-meter telescopes, spread out over a region 100 meters across. Which observatory can detect dimmer stars, and which one can see more detail in its images? (Assume all else is equal, such as quality of optics, types of instruments, and so on.)

a. Observatory X can detect dimmer stars and Observatory Y reveals more detail in images.
b. Observatory Y both detects dimmer stars and reveals more detail in images.
c. Both observatories have the same capabilities, but Observatory Y would be cheaper to build.
d. Observatory X both detects dimmer stars and reveals more detail in images.
e. Observatory Y can detect dimmer stars and Observatory X reveals more detail in images.

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.550 m/s intend to dock. the first has a mass of 2.50 ✕ 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite. (a) calculate the final velocity after docking, in the frame of reference in which the first satellite was originally at rest.(b) what is the loss of kinetic energy in this inelastic collision? (c) repeat both parts, in the frame of reference in which the second satellite was originally at rest. final velocity(d) loss of kinetic energy = ?
