Distinguish between a converging lens and a diverging lens.

1 answer:

5 0

Answer:A converging lens is thickest in the middle and causes parallel light rays to converge through the focal point on the opposite side of the lens. A diverging lens is thinner in the middle and causes parallel light rays to diverge away from the focal point on the same side of the lens.

This problem is based on the whole idea of pressure but I’m having trouble on when the area circle formula is included.

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

6.23x10^6Pa

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

F (force) = 490N

r (radius) = 0.005m

A (area of the circlular heel) =?

P (pressure) =.?

First, we'll begin by calculating the area of the circlular heel. This is illustrated below:

Area of circle = πr^2

Area = 22/7 x (0.00)^2

Area = 7.86x10^-5m^2

Pressure is simply force per unit area. It represented mathematically as

Pressure = Force /Area

Pressure = 490/7.86x10^-5

Pressure = 6.23x10^6N/m2

Recall: 1N/m2 = 1Pa

Therefore, 6.23x10^6N/m2 = 6.23x10^6Pa

Therefore, the woman exert a pressure of 6.23x10^6Pa on the floor

An electron accelerated from rest through a voltage of 780 v enters a region of constant magnetic field. part a part complete if

maxonik [38]

The electron is accelerated through a potential difference of $\Delta V=780 V$ , so the kinetic energy gained by the electron is equal to its variation of electrical potential energy:
$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = e \Delta V$
where
m is the electron mass
v is the final speed of the electron
e is the electron charge
$\Delta V$ is the potential difference

Re-arranging this equation, we can find the speed of the electron before entering the magnetic field:
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2 e \Delta V}{m} } = \sqrt{ \frac{2(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(780 V)}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg} }=1.66 \cdot 10^7 m/s$

Now the electron enters the magnetic field. The Lorentz force provides the centripetal force that keeps the electron in circular orbit:
$evB=m \frac{v^2}{r}$
where B is the intensity of the magnetic field and r is the orbital radius. Since the radius is r=25 cm=0.25 m, we can re-arrange this equation to find B:
$B= \frac{mv}{er}= \frac{(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg)(1.66 \cdot 10^7 m/s)}{(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(0.25 m)} =3.8 \cdot 10^{-4} T$

The energy efficiency of a car is approximately 20%. If you put 10 gallons of gas into the car, how many gallons are “wasted”?

podryga [215]

First, you find what 20% of 10 gallons of gas would be. This will show how many gallons the car actually uses.
10 gallons x 20% =
10 x 0.20 =
2 gallons used

Then you subtract that number from the total 10 gallons to get how many gallons of gas would be wasted.
10 gallons - 2 gallons =
8 gallons of gas wasted

The magnitude of the electric current is directly proportional to the _____________ of the electric field.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer;

the potential difference

The magnitude of the electric current is directly proportional to the potential difference of the electric field

Explanation;

An electric current results from the collective movement of free charges under the effect of an electric field. An electric field exists and can be observed in the space around a single charge or a number of charges.

Electric fields cause charges to move. It stands to reason that an electric field applied to some material will cause currents to flow in that material. In other words, the current density is directly proportional to the electric field. The constant of proportionality σ is called the material’s conductivity.
