Describe the shape of a convex lens and explain what it does to light.

1 answer:

4 0

Convex lenses are thicker at the centers than the edges, they are known as the converging lenses. Rays of light that pass through the lens are brought closer together (they converge). When rays of light that are parallel pass through a convex lens they are refracted, the refracted rays converge at one point called the principal focus.

When atoms are split, they release energy. This concept applies to (2 points)

cupoosta [38]

This applies to nuclear reactions, specifically nuclear fission.

This huge release of energy has been used in atomic bombs and in the nuclear reactors that generate electricity.

An unknown fluid has a specific gravity of 0.750. What is the volume of 22.5 kg of this fluid?

Andru [333]

<h2>Option C is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

Specific gravity of fluid = 0.750

Density of fluid = Specific gravity of fluid x Density of water

Density of fluid = 0.750 x 1000

Density of fluid = 750 kg/m³

Mass of fluid = 22.5 kg

We have

Mass = Volume x Density

22.5 = Volume x 750

Volume = 0.03 m³ = 30 L

Option C is the correct answer.

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 0.10 km high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 65 m horizontally

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

given,

height of building = 0.1 km

ball strikes horizontally to ground at = 65 m

speed at which the ball strike = ?

vertical velocity = 0 m/s

time at which the ball strike

$s = \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}$

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 100}{9.8}}$

t = 4.53 s

vertical velocity at the time 4.53 s = g × t = 9.8 × 4.53 = 44.39 m/s

horizontal velocity = $\dfrac{65}{4.53}$ =14.35 m/s

speed of the ball = $\sqrt{44.39^2+14.35^2}$

= 46.65 m/s

hence, the speed of the ball just before it strike the ground = 47 m/s

The correct answer is option B

If two bicycles of same masses move at different velocities,it will be easier to stop the bicycle that is moving at lower veloci

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

It is easier to stop the bicycle moving at a lower velocity because it will require a smaller force to stop it when compared to a bicycle with a higher velocity that needs a bigger force.

Explanation:

The question above is related to "Newton's Law of Motion." According to the Third Law of Motion, whenever an object exerts a force on another object (action force), an equal force is exerted against it. This force is of the same magnitude but opposite direction.

When it comes to moving bicycles, the force that stops their movement is called "friction." Applying the law of motion, the higher the speed, the higher the force that is needed to stop it while the lower the speed, the lower the force that is needed to stop it.
