Convex Lenses are used to focus light and form a image. They are transparent.

They are one type of lenses. Different type of lenses are used to focus light differently. The basic lenses are concave and convex. Convex lenses converge light falling on it whereas concave lenses diverge light falling on it.

An aluminum calorimeter with a mass of 100 g contains 250 g of water. The calorimeter and water are in thermal equilibrium at 10

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

a) $c=1822.3214\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

b) This value of specific heat is close to the specific heat of ice at -40° C and the specific heat of peat (a variety of coal).

c) The material is peat, possibly.

d) The material cannot be ice because ice doesn't exists at a temperature of 100°C.

Explanation:

Given:

mass of aluminium, $m_a=0.1\ kg$

mass of water, $m_w=0.25\ kg$

initial temperature of the system, $T_i=10^{\circ}C$

mass of copper block, $m_c=0.1\ kg$

temperature of copper block, $T_c=50^{\circ}C$

mass of the other block, $m=0.07\ kg$

temperature of the other block, $T=100^{\circ}C$

final equilibrium temperature, $T_f=20^{\circ}C$

We have,

specific heat of aluminium, $c_a=910\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

specific heat of copper, $c_c=390\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

specific heat of water, $c_w=4186\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

Using the heat energy conservation equation.

The heat absorbed by the system of the calorie-meter to reach the final temperature.

$Q_{in}=m_a.c_a.(T_f-T_i)+m_w.c_w.(T_f-T_i)$

$Q_{in}=0.1\times 910\times (20-10)+0.25\times 4186\times (20-10)$

$Q_{in}=11375\ J$

The heat released by the blocks when dipped into water:

$Q_{out}=m_c.c_c.(T_c-T_f)+m.c.(T-T_f)$

where

$c=$ specific heat of the unknown material

For the conservation of energy : $Q_{in}=Q_{out}$

so,

$11375=0.1\times 390\times (50-20)+0.07\times c\times (100-20)$

$c=1822.3214\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

This value of specific heat is close to the specific heat of ice at -40° C and the specific heat of peat (a variety of coal).

The material is peat, possibly.

The material cannot be ice because ice doesn't exists at a temperature of 100°C.

A battery with an internal resistance ofrand an emf of 10.00 V is connected to a loadresistorR=r. As the battery ages, the inter

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The current is reduced to half of its original value.

Explanation:

Assuming we can apply Ohm's Law to the circuit, as the internal resistance and the load resistor are in series, we can find the current I₁ as follows:

$I_{1} = \frac{V}{R_{int} +r_{L} }$

where Rint = r and RL = r
Replacing these values in I₁, we have:

$I_{1} = \frac{V}{R_{int} +r_{L} } = \frac{V}{2*r} (1)$

When the battery ages, if the internal resistance triples, the new current can be found using Ohm's Law again:

$I_{2} = \frac{V}{R_{int} +r_{L} } = \frac{V}{(3*r) +r} = \frac{V}{4*r} (2)$

We can find the relationship between I₂, and I₁, dividing both sides, as follows:

$\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} } = \frac{V}{4*r} *\frac{2*r}{V} = \frac{1}{2}$

The current when the internal resistance triples, is half of the original value, when the internal resistance was r, equal to the resistance of the load.

What is the magnitude of velocity for a 2000 kg car possessing 3000 kgm/s of momentum

Alex

For this case we have that by definition, the momentum is given by:

$p = mv$

Where,

m: mass
v: speed

Therefore, replacing values we have:

$3000 = (2000) v$

From here, we clear the value of the speed:

$v = \frac {3000} {2000}\\v = 1.5 \frac {m} {s}$

Answer:

The magnitude of velocity is:

$v = 1.5 \frac {m} {s}$

Even though the Sun has a greater mass than Earth, the Moon orbits Earth because it's ___________________ to Earth than to the S

Pani-rosa [81]

Even though the Sun has a greater mass than Earth, the Moon orbits Earth because it's closer to the Earth than to the Sun. Because of this proximity between the Earth and the Moon, the Earth has a stronger gravitational pull than the Sun does. Furthermore, the Earth's mass is 81 times that of the Moon, and so at this proximity, it is more than able to overpower what pull the Sun exerts on the Moon.
