Answer:

A. Both of these types of lenses have the ability to produce upright images.

Explanation:

Let's analyze each statement proposed:

A. Both of these types of lenses have the ability to produce upright images. --> TRUE. In fact, depending on the position of the object relative to the lens, both converging and diverging lenses can produce an image which is upright.

B. Both of these types of lenses have the ability to produce real images. --> FALSE. In fact, diverging lenses can produce virtual images only, because the rays of light are not focused into a single point.

C. Parallel rays converge into a single point at the focal point of a diverging lens, whereas parallel rays diverge at the focal point of a converging lens and spread out. --> FALSE. It is actually the opposite: in a diverging lens, parallel rays diverge and spread out, while in a converging lens, parallel rays converge into a single point (the focal point)

D. Diverging lenses will produce images behind the lens, and converging lenses will produce images in front of the lens. --> FALSE. It's actually the opposite: the image produced by a diverging lens is in front of the lens, while the image produced by a converging lens is behind the lens.

You push a desk with 245 N, but the desk doesn't move due to its friction with the ground. What is the magnitude of the friction

const2013 [10]

If the desk doesn't move, then it's not accelerating.

If it's not accelerating, then the net force on it is zero.

If the net force on it is zero, then any forces on it are balanced.

If there are only two forces on it and they're balanced, then they have equal strengths, and they point in opposite directions.

So the friction on the desk must be equal to your<em> 245N</em> .

Calcular la rapidez promedio

Vlada [557]

Answer:

v_average = 15 m / s

Explanation:

The average speed can be found in two ways,

* taking the distance traveled and divide it by the time spent

* taking the velocities in each time interval and then finding the weighted average by the time fraction

v_average = 1 / t_total ∑ $v_{i} t_{i}$ vi ti

Let's apply this last equation

Total time is

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 10 + 10 = 20 min

v_average = 10/20 10 + 10/20 20

v_average = 10/2 + 20/2

v_average = 15 m / s

The filament of a certain lamp has a resistance that increases linearly with temperature. When a constant voltage is switched on

alekssr [168]

Answer:

The change in temperature is $\Delta T = 1795 K$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The temperature coefficient is $\alpha = 4 * 10^{-3 }\ k^{-1 }$

The resistance of the filament is mathematically represented as

$R = R_o [1 + \alpha \Delta T]$

Where $R_o$ is the initial resistance

Making the change in temperature the subject of the formula

$\Delta T = \frac{1}{\alpha } [\frac{R}{R_o} - 1 ]$

Now from ohm law

$I = \frac{V}{R}$

This implies that current varies inversely with current so

$\frac{R}{R_o} = \frac{I_o}{I}$

Substituting this we have

$\Delta T = \frac{1}{\alpha } [\frac{I_o}{I} - 1 ]$

From the question we are told that

$I = \frac{I_o}{8}$

Substituting this we have

$\Delta T = \frac{1}{\alpha } [\frac{I_o}{\frac{I_o}{8} } - 1 ]$

=> $\Delta T = \frac{1}{3.9 * 10^{-3}} (8 -1 )$

$\Delta T = 1795 K$

A spaceship ferrying workers to Moon Base I takes a straight-line path from the earth to the moon, a distance of 384,000 km. Sup

Tema [17]

Answer:

a) v = 19,149.6 m/s

b) f = 95%

c) t = 346.5min

Explanation:

First put all values in metric units:

$15.8 min*\frac{60s}{1min}=948s$

The equation of motion you need is:

$v_f = a*t+v_0$

where $v_f$ is the final velocity, a is acceleration and t is time in hours.

Since the spaceship starts from 0 velocity:

$v_f = a*t = 20.2*948 = 19,149.6 m/s$

Next, you need to calculate the distances traveled on each interval, considering that both starting and final intervals travel the same distance because the acceleration and time are equal. For this part you need the next motion equation:

$x=\frac{v_0+v_f}{2}t$
