Due to the shape of the lens , parallel rays will be deviated

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.

An assault rifle fires an eight-shot burst in 0.40 s. Each bullet has a mass of 7.5 g and a speed of 300 m/s as it leaves the gu
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

The average recoil force on the gun during that 0.40 s burst is 45 N.

Explanation:

Mass of each bullet, m = 7.5 g = 0.0075 kg

Speed of the bullet, v = 300 m/s

Time, t = 0.4 s

The change in momentum of an object is equal to impulse delivered. So,

F\times t=mv\\\\F=\dfrac{mv}{t}

For 8 shot burst, average recoil force on the gun is :

F=\dfrac{8mv}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{7.5}{1000}\cdot\dfrac{300}{0.4}\cdot8\\\\F=45\ N

So, the average recoil force on the gun during that 0.40 s burst is 45 N.

What happens to the gravitational attraction between 2 objects
amm1812

Answer:

It decreases.

Explanation:

between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases

Rutherford tracked the motion of tiny, positively charged particles shot through a thin sheet of gold foil. Some particles
Anna007 [38]

Question

Rutherford tracked the motion of tiny, positively charged particles shot through a thin sheet of gold foil. Some particles  travelled in a straight line and some were deflected at different angles.

Which statement best describes what Rutherford concluded from the motion of the particles?

A) Some particles travelled through empty spaces between atoms and some particles were deflected by electrons.

B) Some particles travelled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by electrons.

C) Some particles travelled through empty spaces between atoms and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.

D) Some particles travelled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.    

Answer:

 

The right answer is C)    

Explanation:

In the experiment described above, a piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a positive charge. Alpha particles <em>α</em> were used because, if the nucleus was positive, then it would deflect the positive particles. The principles of physics posit that electric charges of the same orientation repel.  

So most as expected some of the alpha particles went right through meaning that the gold atoms comprised mostly empty space except the areas that were with a dense population of positive charges. This area became known as the "nucleus".  

Due to the presence of the positive charges in the nucleus, some particles had their paths bent at large angles others were deflected backwards.

Cheers!
