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 .

In Example 2.7, we investigated a jet landing on an aircraft carrier. In a later maneuver, the jet comes in for a landing on sol
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

a) 20 seconds

b) No.

Explanation:

t = Time taken for jet to stop

u = Initial velocity = 100 m/s (given in the question)

v = Final velocity = 0 (because the jet will stop at the end)

s = Displacement of the jet (Distance between the moment the jet touches the ground to the point the point it stops)

a = Acceleration = -5.00 m/s² (slowing down, so it is negative)

a) Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-100}{-5}\\\Rightarrow t=20\ s

The time required for the plane to slow down from the moment it touches the ground is 20 seconds.

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=100\times 20+\frac{1}{2}\times -5\times 20^2\\\Rightarrow s=1000\ m

The distance it requires for the jet to stop is 1000 m so in a small tropical island airport where the runway is 0.800 km long the plane would not be able to land. The runway needs to be atleast 1000 m long here the runway on the island is 1000-800 = 200 m short.

Explain how a star's absorption spectrum and the concept of red shift help support the Big Bang Theory.
marta [7]

Answer:

Red shift supports the big bang theory. ... The light from distant galaxies is red shifted (this tells us the galaxies are moving away from us) and the further away the galaxy the greater the red shift (this tells us that the more distant the galaxy the faster it is moving). Constellations look like they are moving because earth is rotating on it's axis.

a ball is thrown inclined in to the air with a initial velocity of u. if it reaches the maximum height in 6 seconds , find the r
olga55 [171]

Answer:

11:1

Explanation:

At constant acceleration, an object's position is:

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

Given y₀ = 0, v₀ = u, and a = -g:

y = u t − ½g t²

After 6 seconds, the ball reaches the maximum height (v = 0).

v = at + v₀

0 = (-g)(6) + u

u = 6g

Substituting:

y = 6g t − ½g t²

The displacement between t=0 and t=1 is:

Δy = [ 6g (1) − ½g (1)² ] − [ 6g (0) − ½g (0)² ]

Δy = 6g − ½g

Δy = 5½g

The displacement between t=6 and t=7 is:

Δy = [ 6g (7) − ½g (7)² ] − [ 6g (6) − ½g (6)² ]

Δy = (42g − 24½g) − (36g − 18g)

Δy = 17½g − 18g

Δy = -½g

So the ratio of the distances traveled is:

(5½g) / (½g)

11 / 1

The ratio is 11:1.

The main illustration in the video shows the life track of a one-solar mass star. Each point along this track represents _______
REY [17]

Each point along the track of one solar mass star represents the star's surface temperature and luminosity at one time.

<h3>What is the one-solar mass star?</h3>

A star having a mass equal to the mass of the Sun is called a one-solar mass star.

Its life track shows the luminous intensity as well as the surface temperature.

Sharp claws in wild animals is an example of which type of adaptation?
Sati [7]

Answer:

Structural adaptation

Explanation:

When any physical body part of an organism helps it in surviving, then this mechanism of survival is called a structural adaptation. For example short tail of penguins helps them in balancing on their heels and tails due to which they are able to reduce heat released from their feet. Thus, any physical parts of an organism that helps them in coping with the surrounding physical environment /predators are refereed to as a mode of structural adaptation.
