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 .

A kayaker needs to paddle north across a 100-m-wide harbor. The tide is going out, creating a tidal current that flows to the ea
Savatey [412]

Answer:

41.81^{\circ}

Explanation:

The tidal current flows to the east at 2.0 m/s and the speed of the kayaker is 3.0 m/s.

Let Vector \overrightarrow{OA} is the tidal current velocity as shown in the diagram.

In order to travel straight across the harbor, the vector addition of both the velocities (i.e the resultant velocity, \vec {R} must be in the north direction.

Let \overrightarrow{AB} is the speed of the kayaker having angle \theta measured north of east as shown in the figure.

For the resultant velocity in the north direction, the tail of the vector \overrightarrow {OA} and head of the vector \overrightarrow{AB} must lie on the north-south line.

Now, for this condition, from the triangle OAB

|\overrightarrow{AB}|\sin \theta=|\overrightarrow{OA}|

\Rightarrow \sin\theta=\frac{|\overrightarrow{OA}|}{|\overrightarrow{AB}|}=\frac 2 3

\Rightarrow \theta=\sin^{-1}\frac23

\Rightarrow \theta=41.81^{\circ}

Hence, the kayaker must paddle in the direction of 41.81^{\circ}  in the north of east direction.

If the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of planet x is double the value of earth's, how does planet x's mass compare t
love history [14]
There is not enough information given to answer with. The force of gravity at the planet's surface depends on the planet's radius as well as its mass. The planet could have exactly the same mass as Earth has. But if it's radius is only 71% of Earth's radius, then gravity on its surface will be twice as strong as gravity on Earth.

An unknown material has a mass
atroni [7]

Answer: 1896.55J/kg°C

Explanation:

The quantity of Heat Energy (Q) required to heat a material depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Since,

Q = 1320 joules

Mass of material = 5.61kg

C = ? (let unknown value be Z)

Φ = 0.124°C

Then, Q = MCΦ

1320J = 5.61kg x Z x 0.124°C

1320J = 0.696kg°C x Z

Z = (1320J / 0.696kg°C)

Z = 1896.55 J/kg°C

Thus, the specific heat of the material is 1896.55J/kg°C
