A 5.00 cm tall object is placed 4.25 cm from a lens and produces an image that is 3.00 cm behind the lens. What is the magnifica

tion of the lens?

Answer:

The magnification of the lens is 0.7

Explanation:

We have,

Height of an object is 5 cm

Object is placed 4.25 cm from a lens

Image is formed 3.00 cm behind the lens.

It means u = -4.25 cm

v = -3 cm (behind the lens)

Magnification of the lens is given by :

$m=\dfrac{v}{u}\\\\m=\dfrac{-3}{-4.25}\\\\m=0.70$

So, the magnification of the lens is 0.7

Two blocks of masses 3.0 kg and 5.0 kg are connected by a spring and rest on a frictionless surface. They are given velocities t

miskamm [114]

Answer:

-0.7 m/sec

Explanation:

Mass of first block = m1 =3.0 kg

Mass of second block = m2= 5.0 kg

Velocity of first block = V1= 1.2 m/s

Velocity of second block = V2 = ?

Momentum of Center of mass MVcom is sum of both blocks momentum and is given by

MVcom= m1v1+m2v2

Where

M= mass of center of mass

Vcom= Velocity of center of mass=0 m/s (because center of mass is at rest , so Vcom = 0 m.sec)

Putting values, we get;

0= 3×1.2+5v2

==> v2= 3.6/5= - 0.7 m/s

-ve sign indicates that block 2 is moving in opposite direction of block 1

Answer:

a)<em> It took 1.28 seconds to Neil Armstrong's voice to reach the Earth via radio waves. </em>

b) <em>The minimum time that will be required for a message from Mars to reach the Earth via radio waves is 192 seconds. </em>

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the distribution of radiation due to the different frequencies at which it radiates and its different intensitie. That radiation is formed by electromagnetic waves, which are transverse waves formed by an electric field and a magnetic field perpendicular to it.

The distribution of the radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum can also be given in wavelengths, but it is more frequent to work with it at frequencies:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet rays

Visible region

Infrared

Microwave

Radio waves.

Any radiation that belongs to electromagnetic spectrum has a speed in vacuum of $3x10^{8}m/s$ .

<em>a) Find the time it took for his voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.</em>

To know the time that took for Neil Armstrong's voice to reach the Earth via radio waves, the following equation can be used:

$c = \frac{d}{t}$ (1)

Where v is the speed of light, d is the distance and t is the time.

Notice that t can be isolated from equation 1.

$t = \frac{d}{c}$ (2)

The distance from the Earth to the Moon is $3.85x10^{8} m$ , therefore.

$t = \frac{3.85x10^{8} m}{3x10^{8}m/s}$

$t = 1.28s$

Hence, it took 1.28 seconds to Neil Armstrong's voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.

<em>b) Determine the minimum time that will be required for a message from Mars to reach the Earth via radio waves.</em>

The distance from the Earth to the Mars at its closest approach is $5.76x10^{10}m$ , therefore.

$t = \frac{5.76x10^{10}m}{3x10^{8}m/s}$

$t = 192s$

Hence, the minimum time that will be required for a message from Mars to reach the Earth via radio waves is 192 seconds.

3. A 2kg wooden block whose initial speed is 3 m/s slides on a smooth floor for 2 meters before it comes to a

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Calculating Coefficient of friction is 0.229.

Force is 4.5 N that keep the block moving at a constant speed.

Explanation:

We know that speed expression is as $\mathrm{V}^{2}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}+2 . \mathrm{a} . \Delta \mathrm{s}$ .

Where, ${V}_{i}$ is initial speed, V is final speed, ∆s displacement and a acceleration.

Given that,

${V}_{i}$ =3 m/s, V = 0 m/s, and ∆s = 2 m

Substitute the values in the above formula,

$0=3^{2}-2 \times 2 \times a$

0 = 9 - 4a

4a = 9

$a=2.25 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

$a=2.25 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ is the acceleration.

Calculating Coefficient of friction:

$\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{m} \times \mathrm{a}$

$\mathrm{F}=\mu \times \mathrm{m} \times \mathrm{g}$

Compare the above equation

$\mu \times m \times g=m \times a$

Cancel "m" common term in both L.H.S and R.H.S

$\text { Equation becomes, } \mu \times g=a$

$\text { Coefficient of friction } \mu=\frac{a}{g}$

$\mathrm{g} \text { on earth surface }=9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

$\mu=\frac{2.25}{9.8}$

$\mu=0.229$

Hence coefficient of friction is 0.229.

calculating force:

$\text { We know that } \mathrm{F}=\mathrm{m} \times \mathrm{a}$

$\mathrm{F}=2 \times 2.25 \quad(\mathrm{m}=2 \mathrm{kg} \text { given })$

F = 4.5 N

Therefore, the force would be <u>4.5 N</u> to keep the block moving at a constant speed across the floor.
