A lens focuses light at a single point called the focal point. What is responsible for the light rays coming together at the foc

al point?

The answer is; refraction.

When waves, including light, pass through two media with different densities, the waves bend at the transition between the two media due to differences in speed and wavelength. Convex lenses bend (refract) light and  concentrate it at one point called the focal point.

A 5,257 kg rocket blasts off to the moon with an acceleration of 76 m/s ^2 what is the net force on the rocket
frutty [35]

Newton's subsequent law expresses that power is corresponding to what exactly is needed for an object of consistent mass to change its speed. This is equivalent to that item's mass increased by its speed increase.

We use Newtons, kilograms, and meters each second squared as our default units, albeit any proper units for mass (grams, ounces, and so forth) or speed (miles each hour out of every second, millimeters per second², and so on) could unquestionably be utilized also - the estimation is the equivalent notwithstanding.

Hence, the appropriate answer will be 399,532.

Net Force = 399532

What is a law in physics? state the criteria for a statement to be a law.​
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

By nature, laws of Physics are stated facts which have been deduced and derived based on empirical observations. Simply put, the world around us works in a certain way, and physical laws are a way of classifying that “working.”

Find the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration at the orbit of the Moon (a distance of 60RE from the center of the Earth with
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The magnitude of the free-fall acceleration at the orbit of the Moon is 2.728\times 10^{-3}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} (\frac{2.784}{10000}\cdot g, where g = 9.8\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}).

Explanation:

According to the Newton's Law of Gravitation, free fall acceleration (g), in meters per square second, is directly proportional to the mass of the Earth (M), in kilograms, and inversely proportional to the distance from the center of the Earth (r), in meters:

g = \frac{G\cdot M}{r^{2}} (1)

Where:

G - Gravitational constant, in cubic meters per kilogram-square second.

M - Mass of the Earth, in kilograms.

r - Distance from the center of the Earth, in meters.

If we know that G = 6.674\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}}, M = 5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg and r = 382.26\times 10^{6}\,m, then the free-fall acceleration at the orbit of the Moon is:

g = \frac{\left(6.674\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}} \right)\cdot (5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg)}{(382.26\times 10^{6}\,m)^{2}}

g = 2.728\times 10^{-3}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}
