Answer:

The focal lenth (F) =+10.0cm

Explanation:

The formular for combined focal length (F) is given as;

1/f = 1/f_{1} + 1/f_{2}

In this  question,

F1 = 20cm

F2  = -30cm

Plugging the values into the formuar above,

1/f = 1/20 + 1/(-30)

1/f = 0.05 - 0.033[tex]1/f = -0.017f = [tex]1/ -0.017

f = 58.82cm

i.e. the combination behaves as a converging lens (because of the postive sign) of focal length 58.82cm .

Coulomb's law for the magnitude of the force FFF between two particles with charges QQQ and Q′Q′Q^\prime separated by a distance
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force between two charges of q₁ and q₂ at distance d is given by the expression

F = k q₁ q₂ / d₂

Here force between charge q₁ = - 15 x 10⁻⁹ C and q₃ = 47 x 10⁻⁹ C when distance between them d = (1.66 - 1.24 ) = .42 mm

k = 1/ 4π x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

putting the values in the expression

F = 1/ 4π x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²  x - 15 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ /( .42 x 10⁻³)²

= 9 x 10⁹ x  - 15 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ /( .42 x 10⁻³)²

= 35969.4 x 10⁻³ N .

force between charge q₂ =  34.5 x 10⁻⁹ C and q₃ = 47 x 10⁻⁹ C when distance between them d = ( 1.24 - 0 ) = 1.24 mm .

putting the values in the expression

F = 1/ 4π x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²  x  34.5 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ /( .42 x 10⁻³)²

= 9 x 10⁹ x  - 34.5 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ /( .42 x 10⁻³)²

= 82729.6  x 10⁻³ N

Both these forces will act in the same direction towards the left (away from the origin towards - ve x axis)

Total force = 118699 x 10⁻³

= 118.7 N.
