If a dog is accelerating at a constant rate of 6.57 m/s2, what is the mass of the dog if 25 N of force is being applied to it?

Oliga [24]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 3.81 kg</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of the dog can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{f}{a} \\$

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

$m = \frac{25}{6.57} \\ = 3.80517503$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

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.

Describe one common critique or criticism of Utilitarianism. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this criticism?

lisabon 2012 [21]

The second most common criticism of utilitarianism is that it is impossible to apply - that happiness (etc) cannot be quantified or measured, that there is no way of calculating a trade-off between intensity and extent, or intensity and probability (etc), or comparing happiness to suffering.

Explain why wedges and screws are actually types of inclined planes.

slava [35]

<span>The screw is really just an inclined plane covered around with a tiny pole. The wedge is definitely an inclined plane, since it starts with a point, then rises getting thicker, as an inclined plane. </span>

The spreading of waves behind an aperture is more for long wavelengths and less for short wavelengths.Less for long wavelengths

Allisa [31]

Answer:

Increase in wavelength of incident wave also increases the spread angle or spread of the interference pattern.

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The diffraction occurs when light bends in the same medium. The bending is the result of light waves "squeezing" through small openings or "curving" around sharp edges.

- Moreover, waves diffract best when the size of the diffraction opening (or grting or groove) corresponds to the size of the wavelength. Hence, light diffracts more through small openings than through larger openings.

- The formula for diffraction shows a direct relationship between the angle of diffraction (theta) and wavelength:

d sin (θ) = m λ

Where,

λ : Wavelength , θ : The spread angle , d : Slit opening or grating

- We can see that the wavelength λ and spread angle θ are related proportionally. So if we increase the wavelength of incident wave we also increase the spread angle or spread of the interference pattern.
