Lenses are described as convergent or divergent depending on how they refract light. What is the difference between these two ty

pes of lenses?

Answer:

Explanation:

Convergent lens is the lens which converges the rays of light falling on it. It is thicker at the middle and thinner at the edges. It is also known as convex lens.

Divergent lens is the lens which diverge the rays of light falling on it. It is thinner at the middle and thicker at the edges. It is also called as concave lens.

7 One lb of Refrigerant 134a contained within a piston–cylinder assembly undergoes a process from a state where the temperature
julsineya [31]

Answer:

\Delta S = S_2-S_1 = 0.08835 \frac {BTU} {Lb ^ {\circ} R}

Explanation:

A) In order to solve the table it is necessary to consult tables A11-E and A10E for refrigerant R134-a

In this way we obtain that:

S_1 = S_f = 0.0648 \frac {BTU} {Lb. ^ {\circ} R}

In this way,

S_2 = S_f + x_2 (S_g-S_f) = 0.0902 + 0.5 (0.2161-0.0902)

S_2 = 0.15315 \frac {BTU} {Lb ^ {\circ} R}

In this way the entropy change is,

\Delta S = S_2-S_1 = 0.08835 \frac {BTU} {Lb. ^ {\°} R}

B) Whenever entropy yields a positive result, the process can be carried out adiabatically.

The dimension of Radius of gyration​
serg [7]
Answer: So finally, the dimensional formula of the radius of gyration will be written as: [M0LT0]. The power of zero on the dimension of the mass and time shows that the mass and the time dimensions are zero for the radius of gyration. Hope this helps (:

mutualism

Explanation:

Mutualism, a relationship in which both species benefit, is common in nature. In microbiology, there are many examples of mutualistic bacteria in the gut that aid digestion in both humans and animals.

what are the various ways in which lithospheric plates interact with each other as they move around on a dynamic earth??
Ivan
<span>The plates make up Earth's outer shell, called the lithosphere. (This includes the crust and uppermost part of the mantle.) Churning currents in the molten rocks below propel them along like a jumble of conveyor belts in disrepair. Most geologic activity stems from the interplay where the plates meet or divide.</span>

How are Newton’s second and third laws of motion important to your everyday life?
Rasek [7]
Well, first off, Newtons second law of motion <span>deals with the motion of accelerating and decelerating objects.
 W</span>e already know that from everyday life examples such as simply pushing a car that if 2 people push a car on a flat road it will accelerate faster than if one person was pushing it... Therefore, there is a relationship between the size of the force and the acceleration.  
 Now onto the third law of motion. First of all, what is the third law of motion? Well, a force is a push or a pull that acts upon an object as a results of its interaction with another object. Forces result from interactions! According to Newtons third law, whenever one object, and another object interact with each other, they exert forces upon each other. "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."  The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. So, how is this important to everyday life you may ask? 
<span>Well, the action-reaction force pairs are found everywhere in your body.
 For example, right now as I am typing, my tendons are exerting forces on bones, and those bones exert reaction forces on the tendons, as muscles contract, pulling my fingers on the keys. I press on those keys, and they press back on my fingers. See? Since i'm pressing on the keys, the press back on me. Its opposite from each other, as stated in the quite above. "</span><span>For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." </span>
