When an object is placed 110 cm from a diverging thin lens, its image is found to be 55 cm from the lens. The lens is removed, a
Kazeer [188]

Explanation:

Given that,

Object distance u= -110 cm

Image distance v= 55 cm

We need to calculate the focal length for diverging lens

Using formula of lens

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{-f}=\dfrac{1}{55}-\dfrac{1}{-110}

\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{3}{110}

f=-36.6\ cm

The focal length of the diverging lens is 36.6 cm.

Now given a thin lens with same magnitude of focal length 36.6 cm is replaced.    

Here, The object distance is again the same.

We need to calculate the image distance for converging lens

Using formula of lens

\dfrac{1}{36.6}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{-110}

Here, focal length is positive for converging lens

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{36.6}-\dfrac{1}{110}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{367}{20130}

v=54.85\ cm

The distance of the image is 54.85 cm from converging lens.

Hence, This is the required solution.

Most of the really bright stars in our sky are NOT among the stars that are very close to us. Why then do they look so bright to
Yanka [14]

Answer:

stars will emit more light due to their Luminosity, so they look very bright.

Explanation:

Luminous refers to..,

  • The total amount of energy radiated by a star or other celestial object per second.
  • Therefore it is the power output of a star.

Most of the really bright stars in our sky are not that very close to us yet they look bright because of the Luminosity of the star.

These stars are intrinsically so luminous.

A star's power output across all wavelengths is called its bolometric luminosity.

A star with large luminosity will have more measure of radiated electromagnetic power meaning.

so it will emit more light than a low luminosity star.

Hence,

those stars can easily be seen even across great distance.

The first car has twice the mass of a second car, but only half as much kinetic energy. When both cars increase their speed by 9
kirill [66]

Answer:

Speed of the car 1 =V_1=8.98m/s

Speed of the car 2 =V_2=17.96m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the car 1 , M₁ = Twice the mass of car 2(M₂)

mathematically,

M₁ = 2M₂

Kinetic Energy of the car 1 = Half the kinetic energy of the car 2

KE₁ = 0.5 KE₂

Now, the kinetic energy for a body is given as

KE =\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where,

m = mass of the body

v = velocity of the body

thus,

\frac{1}{2}M_1V_1^2=0.5\times \frac{1}{2}M_2V_2^2

or

\frac{1}{2}2M_2V_1^2=0.5\times \frac{1}{2}M_2V_2^2

or

2M_2V_1^2=0.5\times M_2V_2^2

or

2V_1^2=0.5\times V_2^2

or

4V_1^2= V_2^2

or

2V_1= V_2  .................(1)

also,

\frac{1}{2}M_1(V_1+9.0)^2=\frac{1}{2}M_2(V_2+9.0)^2

or

\frac{1}{2}2M_2(V_1+9.0)^2=\frac{1}{2}M_2(2V_1+9.0)^2

or

2(V_1+9.0)^2=(2V_1+9.0)^2

or

\sqrt{2}(V_1+9.0)=(2V_1+9.0)

or

(\sqrt{2}V_1+ \sqrt{2}\times 9.0)=(2V_1+9.0)

or

(\sqrt{2}V_1+ 12.72)=(2V_1+9.0)

or

(2V_1-\sqrt{2}V_1)=(12.72-9.0)

or

(0.404V_1)=(3.72)

or

V_1=8.98m/s

and, from equation (1)

V_2=2\times 8.98m/s = 17.96m/s

Hence,

Speed of car 1 =V_1=8.98m/s

Speed of car 2 =V_2=17.96m/s

Propose a hypothesis for how the position of the ball will affect the amount of its gravitational pull energy
Ray Of Light [21]

<em><u>throwing a ball up initially has a lot of kinetic energy because it is moving upwards ( kinetic energy is energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.) this all then get converted to gravitational potential energy, and for a moment it is stationary before it begins to fall again.  by the time it has returned again, all the gravitational potential energy has turned back into kinetic.</u></em>
