What do lenses do?

2 answers:

3 0

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.

The period of a pendulum is measured 16 times. The average value of the period over these 16 trials is calculated to be 1.50 sec

marin [14]

Answer:

The additional trials needed is 48 trials

Explanation:

Given;

initial number of trials, n = 16 trials

the standard deviation, σ = 0.24 s

initial standard error, ε = 0.06 s

The standard error is given by;

$\epsilon = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$

To reduce the standard error to 0.03 s, let the additional number of trials = x

$0.03= \frac{0.24}{\sqrt{n+x} } \\\\0.03= \frac{0.24}{\sqrt{16+x} }\\\\0.03\sqrt{16+x} = 0.24\\\\\sqrt{16+x} = \frac{0.24}{0.03} \\\\\sqrt{16+x} = 8\\\\16+x = 8^2\\\\16+x = 64\\\\x = 64 -16\\\\x = 48 \ trials$

Therefore, the additional trials needed is 48 trials.

The moon orbits the earth at a distance of 3.85 x 10^8 m. Assume that this distance is between the centers of the earth and the

Inga [223]

Answer:

27.5 days

0.92 month

Explanation:

$r$ = radius of the orbit of moon around the earth = $3.85\times10^{8} m$

$M$ = Mass of earth = $5.98\times10^{24} m$

$T$ = Time period of moon's motion

According to Kepler's third law, Time period is related to radius of orbit as

$T^{2} = \frac{4\pi ^{2} r^{3} }{GM}$

inserting the values, we get

$T^{2} = \frac{4(3.14)^{2} (3.85\times10^{8})^{3} }{(6.67\times10^{-11})(5.98\times10^{24})}\\T = 2.3754\times10^{6} sec$

we know that

1 day = 24 hours = 24 x 3600 sec = 86400 s

$T = 2.3754\times10^{6} sec \frac{1 day}{86400 sec} \\T = 27.5 days$

1 month = 30 days

$T = 27.5 days \frac{1 month}{30 days} \\T = 0.92 month$

What would happen if both the radius and mass of a planet were cut in half

Shtirlitz [24]

Explanation:

According to formula

g = GM/R^2

when mass is halved the value of g becomes half but when radius is halved the value of g increases 4 times.

As a result of both value of g becomes twice.

A particle with a charge of +4.20nC is in a uniform electric field E⃗ directed to the left. It is released from rest and moves t

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

(A). The work done is $1.50\times10^{-6}\ J$ .

(B). The potential of the starting point with respect to the endpoint is 357.14 V.

(C). The magnitude of E is 5952.38 N/C.

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge = 4.20 nC

Distance = 6.00 cm

Kinetic energy $K.E=1.50\times10^{-6}\ J$

The particle start from rest.

So, the initial kinetic energy i zero.

(A). We need to calculate the work by the electric force

Using formula of work done

$W = \Delta K.E$

$W=K.E_{f}-K.E_{i}$

Put the value into the formula

$W= 1.50\times10^{-6}-0$

$W=1.50\times10^{-6}\ J$

The work done is $1.50\times10^{-6}\ J$ .

(B). We need to calculate the potential of the starting point with respect to the endpoint

We know that.

Change in potential energy = change in kinetic energy

$\Delta P.E=\Delta K.E$

So, $U = 1.50\times10^{-6}$

Using formula of potential

$V=\dfrac{U}{q}$

Put the value into the formula

$V=\dfrac{1.50\times10^{-6}}{4.20\times10^{-9}}$

$V=357.14\ V$

The potential of the starting point with respect to the endpoint is 357.14 V.

(C). We need to calculate the magnitude of E

Using formula of work done

$W=F\times r$ ....(I)

Using formula of force

$F=qE$

Put the value in the equation (I)

$W=qE\times r$

$E=\dfrac{W}{q\times r}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{1.50\times10^{-6}}{4.20\times10^{-9}\times6.00\times10^{-2}}$

$E=5952.38\ N/C$

The magnitude of E is 5952.38 N/C.

Hence, This is the required solution.
