Answer:

B. because they cannot make light rays converge

Explanation:

When parallel beam of light incident of the plane mirror or convex mirror then light rays are reflected by the surface of mirror in such a way that it will not meet at any point of after the reflection.

So here the converging point of light rays are virtual point and hence we will say that its focal length is virtual focal length.

So here correct answer would be

B. because they cannot make light rays converge

A magnetically soft material is placed in a strong magnetic feild. what is the most likely outcome?
myrzilka [38]
So we want to know what will happen if we put a magnetically soft material in a strong magnetic field. A magnetically soft material is a material whose magnetic field can easily be reversed. Those are ferromagnetic materials. Iron is such a material. When a magnetically soft material is placed into a strong magnetic field it gets its own magnetic field. But its not a permanent magnetic field, it can be changed by a different strong magnetic field.

A 3 kg penguin is pushed by his penguin friends who give him an initial speed vo at the top of a 30 m hill. The penguin is hopin
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

This question can be answered by using conversation of energy.

K_1 + U_1 = K_2 + U_2

\frac{1}{2}mv_{0}^2 + mgh_1 = 0 + mgh_2

\frac{1}{2}(3)v_0^2 + (3)(9.8)(30) = (3)(9.8)(45)\\\frac{1}{2}(3)v_0^2 = 441\\v_0^2 = 294\\v_0 = 17.14 m/s

Explanation:

Note that we take K_2 = 0 because we are looking for the minimum initial speed for the penguin to reach the top of the second hill. Any other speed more than this will already be enough for him.

A sample of nitrogen gas has a volume of 5.0 ml at a pressure of 1.50 atm. what is the pressure exerted by the gas if the volume
olchik [2.2K]

A sample of nitrogen gas has a volume of 5.0 ml at a pressure of 1.50 atm. what is the pressure exerted by the gas if the volume increases to 30.0 ml, at constant temperature is 0.25atm.

On constant temperature, the pressure and volume relation become constant before and after the change in quantitities have occurred.

According to Boyle's Law,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

where, P₁ is pressure exerted by the gas initially

V₁ is the volume of gas initially

P₂ is pressure exerted by the gas finally

V₂ is the volume of gas finally

Given,

P₁ = 1.5 atm

V₁ = 5 ml

V₂ = 30 ml

P₂ =?

On substituting the given values in the above equation:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

1.5 atm × 5 ml = P₂ × 30 ml

P₂ = 0.25 atm

Hence, pressure exerted by the gas is 0.25atm.

A weather balloon is operating at an altitude at which the density of air is 0.90 kg/m^3. At this altitude, the balloon has a vo
Archy [21]

Answer:

54 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are four forces acting on the balloon.  Buoyant force pushing the balloon up, gravity pulling the helium down, gravity pulling the balloon skin down, and gravity pulling the load down.

Apply Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

B − Wh − Wb − L = ma

When the load is at a maximum, the acceleration is 0:

B − Wh − Wb − L = 0

B − Wh − Wb = L

B − mh g − Wb = L

The mass of the helium is its density times its volume:

B − ρh Vh g − Wb = L

Buoyant force is defined as B = ρVg, where ρ is the density of the displaced fluid (in this case, air), V is the volume of the displaced fluid, and g is acceleration of gravity.  Since the volume of displaced air = the volume of the helium:

ρa V g − ρh V g − Wb = L

(ρa − ρh) V g − Wb = L

Given that ρa = 0.90 kg/m³, ρh = 0.178 kg/m³, V = 20 m³, g = 9.8 m/s², and Wb = 88 N:

(0.9 − 0.178) (20) (9.8) − (88) = L

L = 53.5 N

Rounded to 2 sig-figs, the maximum load that can be supported is 54 N.
