Answer: When parallel light rays strike a concave lens, they will diverge that is they spread out.

Concave lens is also known as diverging lens, which means that when parallel rays of light strike on it, the lens spreads out the light rays ( that is it diverges the rays of light) that are refracted through it.

It is thinner at center as compared to edges and used to correct myopia ( a defect of vision that is also termed short-sightedness).

Therefore, when parallel light rays strike a concave lens, they will diverge that is they spread out.

The fast train known as the TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) that runs south from Paris, France, has a scheduled average speed of 21

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

average speed of train $(v_{avg})=216 kmph\approx 60 m/s$

Maximum acceleration=0.05g

Now centripetal acceleration is

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

$0.05\times 9.8=\frac{60^2}{r}$

r=7346.93 m

(b)Radius of curvature=900 m

therefore $a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

$v=\sqrt{a_cr}$

$v=\sqrt{0.05\times 9.8\times 900}$

$v=\sqrt{441}=21 m/s$

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!!<br><br> Joules could be used to measure

lyudmila [28]

All of the above, work is a measurement of energy transfer, in Joules.

Potential energy = Joules

Kinetic energy = Joules

The key thing here is that anything having to do with just energy or energy transfer is measured in joules.
