An apple is placed 20.0 cm in front of a diverging lens of focal length 10.0 cm. Find the image distance and the magnification o
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Image distance of apple=-6.7 cm

Magnification of apple=0.33

Explanation:

We are given that an apple is placed 20.cm in front of a diverging lens.

Object distance=u=-20 cm

Focal length=f=-10 cm

Because focal length of diverging lens is negative.

We have to find the image distance and magnification of the apple.

Lens formula

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}

Substitute the values then we get

-\frac{1}{10}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{20}

\frac{1}{v}=-\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{20}

\frac{1}{v}=\frac{-2-1}{20}=-\frac{3}{20}

v=-\frac{20}{3}=-6.7 cm

Image distance of apple=-6.7 cm

Magnification=m=\frac{v}{u}=\frac{-\frac{20}{3}}{-20}

Magnification of apple=\frac{1}{3}=0.33

Hence, the magnification of apple=0.33

How did astronomers precisely determine the length of an Astronomical Unit in the 1960s?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Use of telemetry and radar astronomy

Explanation:

An astronomical Unit (AU) is a unit of measuring distances in outer space, which is based on the approximate distance between the earth and the Sun.

After several years of trying to approximate the distance between the Sun and the Earth using several methods based on geometry and some other calculations, advancements in technology made available the presence of special motoring equipment, which can be placed in outer space to remotely monitor and measure the position of the sun.

The use of direct radar measurements to the sun (radar astronomy) have also made the determination of the AU more accurate.

A standard radar pulse of known speed is sent to the Sun, and the time with which it takes to return is measured,  once this is recorded, the distance between the Earth and the Sun can be calculated using

distance = speed X time.

However, most of these means have to be corrected for parallax errors

A 4 kg toy car moves horizontally on a rough road with coefficient of kinetic friction 0.2. It accelerates from rest to 20 m/s i
attashe74 [19]

The total work done on the car is 784Joule.

<h3>What's the acceleration of the car?</h3>
  • As per Newton's equation of motion, V= U+at
  • U= initial velocity= 0 m/s

V= vinal velocity= 20m/s

t= time = 10s

a= acceleration

  • So, 20= 0+ 10a

=> a= 20/10= 2m/s²

<h3>What's the distance covered by the car in 10 seconds?</h3>
  • As per Newton's equation of motion,

V²-U² = 2aS

  • S= distance covered by the car
  • So, 20²-0=2×2×S=4S

=> 400= 4S

=> S= 400/4= 100m

<h3>What's the work done on the car due to frictional force?</h3>

Work done by frictional force= frictional force × distance

= (0.2×4×9.8)×100

= 784Joule

Thus, we can conclude that the work done on the car is 784Joule.
