Satellites are sent out into space to make "fly bys" of planets, moons, and objects in the outer solar system,

You'd have to say that the statement is false. It's a matter of wording.

The things called "satellites" are designed to enter orbit of something ...
usually the Earth, but it could be another body.

The spacecraft that are designed to "fly by" something and then keep going
are usually called "space probes", not "satellites".

A thin double convex glass lens with an index of 1.56 while surrounded by air has a 10 cm focal length. If it is placed under wa

bearhunter [10]

Explanation:

Formula which holds true for a leans with radii $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ and index refraction n is given as follows.

$\frac{1}{f} = (n - 1) [\frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}]$

Since, the lens is immersed in liquid with index of refraction $n_{1}$ . Therefore, focal length obeys the following.

$\frac{1}{f_{1}} = \frac{n - n_{1}}{n_{1}} [\frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}]$

$\frac{1}{f(n - 1)} = [\frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}]$

and, $\frac{n_{1}}{f(n - n_{1})} = \frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}$

or, $f_{1} = \frac{fn_{1}(n - 1)}{(n - n_{1})}$

$f_{w} = \frac{10 \times 1.33 \times (1.56 - 1)}{(1.56 - 1.33)}$

= 32.4 cm

Using thin lens equation, we will find the focal length as follows.

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{s_{o}} + \frac{1}{s_{i}}$

Hence, image distance can be calculated as follows.

$\frac{1}{s_{i}} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{s_{o}} = \frac{s_{o} - f}{fs_{o}}$

$s_{i} = \frac{fs_{o}}{s_{o} - f}$

$s_{i} = \frac{32.4 \times 100}{100 - 32.4}$

= 47.9 cm

Therefore, we can conclude that the focal length of the lens in water is 47.9 cm.

5. Which unit of electricity does the work in a circuit?

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Volt

Explanation:

Voltage is what makes electric charges move. ... Voltage is also called, in certain circumstances, electromotive force (EMF). Voltage is an electrical potential difference, the difference in electric potential between two places. The unit for electrical potential difference, or voltage, is the volt.

The ohm is defined as an electrical resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant potential difference of one volt, applied to these points, produces in the conductor a current of one ampere, the conductor not being the seat of any electromotive force.

The coulomb (symbolized C) is the standard unit of electric charge in the International System of Units (SI). ... In terms of SI base units, the coulomb is the equivalent of one ampere-second. Conversely, an electric current of A represents 1 C of unit electric charge carriers flowing past a specific point in 1 s.

An ampere is a unit of measure of the rate of electron flow or current in an electrical conductor. One ampere of current represents one coulomb of electrical charge (6.24 x 1018 charge carriers) moving past a specific point in one second.

Arocket with an initial velocity of 20 m/s another engine that gives it an acceleration of 4 m/s ^ 2 over 10 secondsHow far did

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

50m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 20m/s

Acceleration = 4m/s²

Time = 10s

Unknown:

Distance traveled by the rocket = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem use the expression below;

v² = u² + 2as

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance

final velocity = 0

Insert the parameters and solve;

0² = 20² + 2 x 4 x s

-400 = 8s

s = 50m

Disregard the negative sign because distance cannot be negative.
