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.

A 4 feet tall student went for swimming in a pool.He saw the depth of the water in the pool less than 4 feet.Will he be drowned?

Serjik [45]

Answer:

No, he won't be drowned.

Explanation:

We have given,

The height of the student = 4 feet,

Depth of the pool( in feet ) = x ( say ) < 4 feet,

Since, the depth of the pool < height of the student,

Thus, if the student went for swimming in a pool, however he does not know swimming, he will not be drowned until he is suffering from an injury or external force.

Un tubo de acero de 40000 kilómetros forma un anillo que se ajusta bien a la circunferencia de la tierra. Imagine que las person

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

82.76m

Explanation:

In order to find the distance of the steel ring to the ground, when its temperature has raised by 1°C, you first calculate the radius of the steel tube before its temperature increases.

You use the formula for the circumference of the steel ring:

$C=2\pi r$ (1)

C: circumference of the ring = 40000 km = 4*10^7m (you assume the circumference is the length of the steel tube)

you solve for r in the equation (1):

$r=\frac{C}{2\pi}=\frac{4*10^7m}{2\pi}=6,366,197.724m$

Next, you use the following formula to calculate the change in the length of the tube, when its temperature increases by 1°C:

$L=Lo[1+\alpha \Delta T]$ (2)

L: final length of the tube = ?

Lo: initial length of the tube = 4*10^7m

ΔT = change in the temperature of the steel tube = 1°C

α: thermal coefficient expansion of steel = 13*10^-6 /°C

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

$L=(4*10^7m)(1+(13*10^{-6}/ \°C)(1\°C))=40,000,520m$

With the new length of the tube, you can calculate the radius of a ring formed with the tube. You again solve the equation (1) for r:

$r'=\frac{C}{2\pi}=\frac{40,000,520m}{2\pi}=6,366,280.484m$

Finally, you compare both r and r' radius:

r' - r = 6,366,280.484m - 6,366,197.724m = 82.76m

Hence, the distance to the ring from the ground is 82.76m

A m = 94.2 kg object is released from rest at a distance h = 1.15134 R above the Earth’s surface. The acceleration of gravity is

OleMash [197]

Answer:

v= 4055.08m/s

Explanation:

This is a problem that must be addressed through the laws of classical mechanics that concern Potential Gravitational Energy.

We know for definition that,

$U = \frac{GMm}{r}$

We must find the highest point and the lowest point to identify the change in energy, so

Point a)

The problem tells us that an object is dropped at a distance of h = 1.15134R over the earth.

That is to say that the energy of that object is equal to,

$U_1=-\frac{(6.6738 * 10^{-11})(5.98 * 10^{24})(94.2)}{(1.15134)(6.38*10^6)}$

$U_2= - 5.1180*10^9J$

Point B )

We now use the average radius distance from the earth.

$U_2=-\frac{(6.6738 * 10^{-11})(5.98 * 10^{24})(94.2)}{(6.38*10^6)}$

$U_2= -5.8925*10^9J$

Then,

$\Delta U = U_2 - U_1 = -5.1180*10^9J - ( -5.8925*10^9J)$

$\Delta U = 774.5*10^6$

By the law of conservation of energy we know that,

$\Delta U = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

clearing v,

$v= \sqrt{2 \Delta U/m}$

$v= \sqrt{2*774.5*10^6 /94.2}$

$v= 4055.08m/s$

Therefore the speed of the object when it strikes the Earth’s surface is 4055.08m/s
