A convex lens with focal length 9 cm forms an image of an object placed 21 cm to the left of the lens. what is the distance to t

bixtya [17]3 years ago

Answer:

15.75 cm

Explanation:

focal length of convex lens, f = + 9 cm

position of object, u = - 21 cm

Let the distance of image is v.

Use lens equation

1 / f = 1 / v - 1 / u

1 / 9 = 1 / v + 1 / 21

1 / v = 1 / 9 - 1 / 21 = (21 - 9) / (21 x 9)

1 / v = 12 / 189

v = 15.75 cm

Which statement is true?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

A. Speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity.

Explanation:

A scalar quantity is one that consists of only a numerical value.

Speed is a scalar quantity because only the instantaneous value is indicated, for example the speedometer of a car that tells you your speed at the moment but not where you are going or in what direction are you going.

On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity. Because it is composed of a <u>magnitude and a direction</u>, for example 10m/s to the south is a velocity, and 10m/s is a speed.

How can wind put off fire?
kipiarov [429]
♥ If the wind is strong enough it can do so.
♥ By having a strong enough wind you can blow out the fire before the flame can consume any more vapor.
♥ If the wind is fast enough, like a birthday cake candle for example, the wind will burn out.

The highest speed of a cheetah is 100 km/hr and the highest speed of a gazelle is 80 km/hr. If at t = 0 both animals are running
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

t=18s

Explanation:

The final position of an object moving at constant speed is given by the formula x=x_0+vt, where x_0 is its initial position, v its speed and t the time elapsed.

For the cheetah we have x_c=x_{0c}+v_ct, and for the gazelle x_g=x_{0g}+v_gt. We want to know at which t their positions are equal, that is, x_c=x_g, which means,

x_{0c}+v_ct=x_{0g}+v_gt

Where we can do:

v_ct-v_gt=x_{0g}-x_{0c}

(v_c-v_g)t=x_{0g}-x_{0c}

t=\frac{x_{0g}-x_{0c}}{v_c-v_g}

We then substitute the values we have (the initial position of the cheetah is 0m), writing the meters in km so distance units cancel out correctly:

t=\frac{0.1km-0km}{100km/hr-80km/hr}=0.005hr=18s

On the last step we just multiply by 3600 because is the number of seconds in an hour.
