Explanation:

It is given that,

The object distance from the lens is 10 cm, u = -10 cm

Image is formed at a distance of 40 cm away from the lens, u = 40 cm

The lens formula is : $\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}$ , v is image distance

$\dfrac{1}{40}-\dfrac{1}{-10}=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\\f=8\ cm$

The focal length is 8 cm

Magnification,

$m=\dfrac{v}{u}\\\\m=\dfrac{40}{-10}\\\\m=-4$

The magnification is negative, it means that the formed image is inverted.

a flashlight has a resistance of 2.4 ohms. what voltage is applied by the batteries if the current in the circuit is 2.5A?

Mashcka [7]

E = I R

That means

Voltage = (current) x (resistance)

= (2.5 A) x (2.4 ohms)

= 6 volts .

A 2-m long string is stretched between two supports with a tension that produces a wave speed equal to vw=50.00m/s. What are the

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer

given,

Length of the string, L = 2 m

speed of the wave , v = 50 m/s

string is stretched between two string

For the waves the nodes must be between the strings

the wavelength is given by

$\lambda = \dfrac{2L}{n}$

where n is the number of antinodes; n = 1,2,3,...

the frequency expression is given by

$f = n\dfrac{v}{2L}$

now, wavelength calculation

n = 1

$\lambda_1 = \dfrac{2\times 2}{1}$

λ₁ = 4 m

n = 2

$\lambda_2 = \dfrac{2\times 2}{2}$

λ₂ = 2 m

n =3

$\lambda_3 = \dfrac{2\times 2}{3}$

λ₃ = 1.333 m

now, frequency calculation

n = 1

$f = n\dfrac{v}{2L}$

$f_1 =1\times \dfrac{50}{2\times 2}$

f₁ = 12.5 Hz

n = 2

$f = n\dfrac{v}{2L}$

$f_2 =2\times \dfrac{50}{2\times 2}$

f₂= 25 Hz

n = 3

$f = n\dfrac{v}{2L}$

$f_3 =3\times \dfrac{50}{2\times 2}$

f₃ = 37.5 Hz

Describe Kinetic Energy.

mina [271]

In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. The same amount of work is done by the body when decelerating from its current speed to a state of rest.
