A) 11.1 cm

We can find the focal length of the lens by using the lens equation:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}$

where

f is the focal length

p = 16.0 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

q = 36.0 cm is the distance of the image from the lens (taken with positive sign since it is on the opposide side to the image, so it is a real image)

Solving the equation for f:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{16.0 cm}+\frac{1}{36.0 cm}=0.09 cm^{-1}\\f=\frac{1}{0.09 cm^{-1}}=11.1 cm$

B) Converging

The focal length is:

- Positive for a converging lens

- Negative for a diverging lens

In this case, the focal length is positive, so it is a converging lens.

C) 18.0 mm

The magnification equation states that:

$\frac{h_i}{h_o}=-\frac{q}{p}$

where

$h_i$ is the heigth of the image

$h_o$ is the height of the object

$q=36.0 cm$

$p=16.0 cm$

Solving the formula for $h_i$ , we find

$h_i = -h_o \frac{q}{p}=-(8.00 mm)\frac{36.0 cm}{16.0 cm}=-18.0 mm$

So the image is 18 mm high.

D) Inverted

From the magnification equation we have that:

- When the sign of $h_i$ is positive, the image is erect

- When the sign of $h_i$ is negative, the image is inverted

In this case, $h_i$ is negative, so the image is inverted.

1. About a trillion comets are thought to be located far, far beyond pluto in the Oort cloud. Oort cloud is theoretical cloud of predominantly icy planetesimals and. Many scientists have a belief that it surrounds the Sun at the distance of approximately between 50,000 and 200,000 AU. Such forces as passing stars and of the Milky Way usually easily affect the outer Oort cloud and dislodge comets right from their orbits through the Oort the cloud and then they send them to the the inner Solar System.
2. The bright spherical part of a comet observed when it is close to the sun is the coma. When coma is viewed by a telescope it looks quite fuzzy and, unlike the stars, it does not have legible form. Such a phenomenon as the coma is created when a comet comes too close to the sun, then a comet warms and sublimes its parts. These parts are placed around the nucleus of a comet forming sort of envelope.
3. A comet's plasma tail stretches directly away from the sun. Both coma and comet's tail are visible parts of a comet, and when the comet passes through the inner Solar System we it becomes visible right from Earth. Usually comets have two tails :the blue plasma tail and the red dust tail. The plasma tail is formed by an interaction between the solar wind and the cometary plasma. And the dust tail is caused due to the activity of solar radiation pressure directed to the cometary dust.

4. A comet's nucleus is the frozen portion of a comet. The conet nucleus is the solid center of the head of a comet that is also called ''dirty snowball'' or an ''icy dirtball'' among astronomists. It consists of rock, dust, and frozen gases and when they are heated by the Sun they form a coma (which is an atmosphere that surrounds nucleus) by sublimating of the gases.

5. Particles ejected from a comet can cause a meteor shower on Earth. A meteor shower is a celestial phenomenon during which we can see how meteors radiate. The meteors which we can observe are formed by meteoroids that enter Earth's atmosphere at extremely high speeds and they usually move in parallel directions. Some of the meteors are too small and often don't even reach the surface of Earth as they disintegrate during the entering process.

6. The Kuiper Belt extends from about beyond the orbit of neptune to about twice the distance of neptune from the sun. It is the circumstellar disc that uccurs in the Solar System beyond the already known planets. Its formreminds of asteroid belt, but it is far larger, to be more exact in 20 times. I

If the torque required to loosen a nut that holds a wheel on a car has a magnitude of 55 n·m, what force must be exerted at the

erastova [34]

Either 175 N or 157 N depending upon how the value of 48Â° was measured from.
You didn't mention if the angle of 48Â° is from the lug wrench itself, or if it's from the normal to the lug wrench. So I'll solve for both cases and you'll need to select the desired answer.
Since we need a torque of 55 NÂ·m to loosen the nut and our lug wrench is 0.47 m long, that means that we need 55 NÂ·m / 0.47 m = 117 N of usefully applied force in order to loosen the nut. This figure will be used for both possible angles.
Ideally, the force will have a 0Â° degree difference from the normal and 100% of the force will be usefully applied. Any value greater than 0Â° will have the exerted force reduced by the cosine of the angle from the normal. Hence the term "cosine loss".
If the angle of 48Â° is from the normal to the lug wrench, the usefully applied power will be:
U = F*cos(48)
where
U = Useful force
F = Force applied
So solving for F and calculating gives:
U = F*cos(48)
U/cos(48) = F
117 N/0.669130606 = F
174.8537563 N = F
So 175 Newtons of force is required in this situation.
If the 48Â° is from the lug wrench itself, that means that the force is 90Â° - 48Â° = 42Â° from the normal. So doing the calculation again (this time from where we started plugging in values) we get
U/cos(42) = F
117/0.743144825 = F
157.4390294 = F
Or 157 Newtons is required for this case.

The position of a particle moving along the x axis depends on the time according to the equation x = ct² - bt³, where x is in me

Kamila [148]

Answer:

(a) $\frac{m}{s^2}$

(b) $\frac{m}{s^3}$

(d) 20 m

(e) 1 m

(f) $0\frac{m}{s}$

(g) $-12\frac{m}{s}$

(h) $-36\frac{m}{s}$

(i) $-72\frac{m}{s}$

(j) $-6\frac{m}{s^2}$

(k) $-18\frac{m}{s^2}$

(l) $-30\frac{m}{s^2}$

(m) $-42\frac{m}{s^2}$

Explanation:

Since x is measured in meters and t in seconds, constants a and b must have units that gives meters when multiplied by square and cubic seconds respectivly, so that would mean $\frac{m}{s^2}$ for a and $\frac{m}{s^3}$ for b.

We can get the velocity v equation by deriving the position with respect to t, which gives:

$v=6*t-6*t^2$

And the acceleration a equation by deriving again:

$a=6-12*t$

Now for getting the maximun position between 0 and 4, we must find to points where the positions first derivate is equal to cero and evaluate those points. That is v=0, which gives

$6*t-6*t^2=0\\6t*(1-t)=0\\t=0 or t=1$

For t = 0, x = 0 so the maximun position is archieved at 1 second, which gives x = 1 meter.

For obtaining it's displacement r, we can integrate the velocity from 0 seconds to 4 seconds, which gives the mean value of the position in that interval:

$r=\frac{1}{4}*(2*4^3-3*4^2)m\\r= 20m$

For the remaining questions, we just replace the values of t on the respective equations.
