You place an object 20 cm from a lens and find an image on the opposite side 30 cm from the lens. You calculate a focal length o

f 12 cm. You then move the object 30 cm from the same lens and once again measure the image distance. All your measurements and calculations are correct. What should you find when you calculate this focal length? a) It increased. b) It decreased. c) It stayed the same. d) There is not enough information to determine this focal length.

Answer:

The correct option is 'c': It stays same.

Explanation:

The focal length of any lens is obtained by using lens maker's formula as follows

\frac{1}{f}=(\frac{n_{2}}{n_{2}}-1)(\frac{1}{R_{1}}-\frac{1}{R_{2}})

where

n_{2} is the refractive index of the material of lens

n_{1} is the refractive index of the medium surrounding the lens

R_{1},R_{2} are the radii of the 2 surfaces of the lens.

As we see that in the formula the focal length of the lens only depends on the refractive indexes and the radius of the lens thus we conclude that the focal length of the lens is independent on the position of object or image.

Answer:

18 radians

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Torque = Force × Moment arm

= 1N × 1M

= 1N-M

Torque = I\alpha

\alpha = \frac{torque}{I}\\\\= \frac{1}{100}\\\\= 0.01 rad/s^2

Now

\theta = w_ot + \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2\\\\w_o = 0\\\\\theta = 0 \times 60 + \frac{1}{2} \times 0.01 \times 60^2\\\\= 18\ radians

Here t = 1 minutes = 60 seconds

Find the net charge of a system consisting of 6.25×10^6 electrons and 7.75×10^6 protons. Express your answer using three signifi
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

2.40 x 10⁻¹³ C

Explanation:

n_{e} = number of electrons = 6.25 x 10⁶

q_{e} = charge on electron = - 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

n_{p} = number of protons = 7.75 x 10⁶

q_{p} = charge on proton =  1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Net charge is given as

Q = n_{e} q_{e} + n_{p} q_{p}

Q = (- 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) (6.25 x 10⁶) + (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) (7.75 x 10⁶)

Q = 2.40 x 10⁻¹³ C

Find the rms speed of the molecules of a sample of n2 (diatomic nitrogen) gas at a temperature of 31.5°c.
Artemon [7]
The rms speed can be calculated using the following rule:
rms = sqrt ((3RT) / (M)) where:
R is the gas constant =  8.314 J/mol-K
T is the temperature = 31.5 + 273 = 304.5 degrees kelvin
M is the molar mass = 2*14 = 28 grams = 0.028 kg

Substitute with the givens to get the rms speed as follows:
rms speed = sqrt [(3*8.314*304.5) / (0.028)] = 520.811 m/sec
