Answer:

32 cm

Explanation:

f = focal length of the converging lens = 16 cm

Since the lens produce the image with same size as object, magnification is given as

m = magnification = - 1

p = distance of the object from the lens

q = distance of the image from the lens

magnification is given as

m = - q/p

- 1 = - q/p

q = p                                    eq-1

Using the lens equation, we get

1/p + 1/q = 1/f

using eq-1

1/p + 1/p = 1/16

p = 32 cm

The international space station makes 15.65 revolutions per day in its orbit around the earth. assuming a circular orbit, how hi
sweet-ann [11.9K]
<span>373.2 km The formula for velocity at any point within an orbit is v = sqrt(mu(2/r - 1/a)) where v = velocity mu = standard gravitational parameter (GM) r = radius satellite currently at a = semi-major axis Since the orbit is assumed to be circular, the equation is simplified to v = sqrt(mu/r) The value of mu for earth is 3.986004419 Ă— 10^14 m^3/s^2 Now we need to figure out how many seconds one orbit of the space station takes. So 86400 / 15.65 = 5520.767 seconds And the distance the space station travels is 2 pi r, and since velocity is distance divided by time, we get the following as the station's velocity 2 pi r / 5520.767 Finally, combining all that gets us the following equality v = 2 pi r / 5520.767 v = sqrt(mu/r) mu = 3.986004419 Ă— 10^14 m^3/s^2 2 pi r / 5520.767 s = sqrt(3.986004419 * 10^14 m^3/s^2 / r) Square both sides 1.29527 * 10^-6 r^2 s^2 = 3.986004419 * 10^14 m^3/s^2 / r Multiply both sides by r 1.29527 * 10^-6 r^3 s^2 = 3.986004419 * 10^14 m^3/s^2 Divide both sides by 1.29527 * 10^-6 s^2 r^3 = 3.0773498781296 * 10^20 m^3 Take the cube root of both sides r = 6751375.945 m Since we actually want how far from the surface of the earth the space station is, we now subtract the radius of the earth from the radius of the orbit. For this problem, I'll be using the equatorial radius. So 6751375.945 m - 6378137.0 m = 373238.945 m Converting to kilometers and rounding to 4 significant figures gives 373.2 km</span>

In a certain clock, a pendulum of length L1 has a period T1 = 0.95s. The length of the pendulum
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Ratio of length will be \frac{L_2}{L_1}=1.108

Explanation:

We have given time period of the pendulum when length is L_1 is T_1=0.95sec

And when length is L_2 time period T_2=1sec

We know that time period is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

So 0.95=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L_1}{g}}----eqn 1

And 1=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L_2}{g}}-------eqn 2

Dividing eqn 2 by eqn 1

\frac{1}{0.95}=\sqrt{\frac{L_2}{L_1}}

Squaring both side

\frac{L_2}{L_1}=1.108

Sometimes however, they are proven wrong, and so they do not become laws
