Due to the shape of the lens , parallel rays will be deviated
Aleonysh [2.5K]3 years ago
3 0

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.

1.A car starts from rest and acquires a velocity of 54 km/h in 2 minutes.Find(i) the acceleration and(ii) distance travelled by
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

1.) 1620 km/h^2

2.) 2.7 km

Explanation:

1.) Given that the car start from rest. The initial velocity U will be equal to zero. That is,

U = 0.

Final velocity V = 54 km/h

Time t = 2 minute = 2/60 = 1/30 hour

Acceleration a will be change in velocity per time taken. That is,

a = ( V - U )/ t

Substitute V, U and t into the formula

a = 54 ÷ 1/30

a = 54 × 30 = 1620 km/h ^2

2.) Distance travelled S by the car during the time can be calculated by using the 2nd equation of motion.

S = Ut + 1/2at^2

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

S = 54 × 1/30 + 1/2 × 1620 × (1/30)^2

S = 54/30 + 810 × 1/900

S = 54/30 + 810/900

S = (1620+810)/900

S = 2430/900

S = 2.7 km.

Therefore, distance travelled by the car during this time is 2.7 km

What constant horizontal force is required to drag a 5 kg block along a
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

25N

Explanation:

formula=> Frictional force= coefficient of friction x normal reaction

normal reaction is mass x gravity(10N/kg)

so Frictional force= 0.5x5x10

=25N

but that is the Frictional force not the constant force

to get the constant force, subtract the Frictional force from the weight of the block

weight= mass x gravity

= 5x10

= 50N

50N-25N

=25N

The atomic radii of a divalent cation and a monovalent anion are 0.19 nm and 0.126 nm, respectively. (a) Calculate the force of
Alchen [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of divalent cation, a_1=0.19\ nm

Radius of monovalent anion, a_2=0.126\ nm

Charge for divalent cation, Z_1=+2

Charge for monovalent cation, Z_2=-1

The sum of radii of both cations and anion is, a_o=0.19+0.126=0.316\ nm=0.316\times 10^{-9}\ m

(a) The force of attraction between two ions is given by :

F=k\dfrac{-Z_1Z_2e^2}{a_o^2}

F=-9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{2\times (-1)\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{(0.316\times 10^{-9})^2}

F=4.61\times 10^{-9}\ N

(b) Let F' is the force of repulsion at this same distance such that,

F + F' = 0

So, F'=-4.61\times 10^{-9}\ N

Hence, this is the required solution.
