What do lenses do?

Physics

Dovator [93]4 years ago

A convex lens makes light rays converge (come together) at the focal point or focus. The distance from the center of the lens to the focal point is the focal length of the lens. Convex lenses are used in things like telescopes and binoculars to bring distant light rays to a focus in your eyes.

A parcel of land is in the shape of an isosceles triangle. The base has a length of 425 ft.; the other sides, which are of equal
kogti [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 636.6 ft    

Explanation:

Data

base = 425 ft

angle = 39°

See the picture below

1.- Divide the triangle to get two right triangles.

    Now the superior angle will measure 19.5° and the opposite side will measure 212.5 ft

2.- Use the trigonometric function sine to find the hypotenuse

     sin 19.5 = 212.5/hyp

solve for hyp

    hyp = 212.5 / sin 19.5

Result

    hyp = 212.5/ 0.333

    hyp = 636.6 ft

Explain what a concentration gradient is and what it means for a molecule to diffuse down its
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.

Explanation:

A gradient of concentration is the difference between in concentration of one place / area substance to different area. Having a molecule flow down its concentration gradient means moving the molecules from hypotonic areas to the concentration hypertonic areas

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.

The maximum energy a bone can absorb without breaking is surprisingly small. For a healthy human of mass 60 kg60 kg, experimenta
netineya [11]

Answer:

<em>the maximum height a man can jump from and land rigidly upright on both feet without breaking his legs is 0.34 m</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Mass of a healthy man = 60 kg

energy the bone can take without breaking = 200 J

If a healthy man jumps from a height 'h', he falls with an energy equal to the potential energy due to his initial height above the ground.

initial potential energy of the healthy man = mgh

where m = mass of the man

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h = the height above ground

==> PE = 60 x 9.81 x h = 588.6h

If we assume that all energy is absorbed in the leg bones in a rigid landing, then we can safely say that this calculated PE for a healthy man is equal to the energy his bone can absorb in the jump without breaking.

equating, we have

200 = 588.6h

<em>the maximum height a man can jump from without breaking his legs = 200/588.6 = 0.34 m</em>

When people jump from a height, the sudden deceleration to zero can impact a big force on the leg bones, shattering them. If the time spent in decelerating to zero is increased, the overall force on the leg bones is reduced greatly.

<em>Bending the knees gradually on landing from a jump from a height, and then rolling increases the time spent decelerating, and reduces the impact force on the legs due to the landing</em>. If you observe carefully you will see that this is what professional stunts men and acrobats do when they jump from a height.

What is the specific heat of an object if it takes 1200 J to raise the temperature of a 20 kg object by 6 degrees C?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

c=10\ J/kg^{\circ} C

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat required, Q = 1200 J

Mass of the object, m = 20 kg

The increase in temperature, \Delta T=6^{\circ} C

We need to find the specific heat of the object. The heat required to raise the temperature is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T\\\\c=\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}\\\\c=\dfrac{1200}{20\times 6}\\\\c=10\ J/kg^{\circ} C

So, the specific heat of the object is 10\ J/kg^{\circ} C.
