Answer:

The height of the image of the candle is 20 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Size of the candle, h = 12 cm

Object distance from the candle, u = -6 cm

Focal length of converging lens, f = 15 cm

To find,

The height of the image of the candle.

Solution,

Firstly, we will find the image distance of the candle. Let it is equal to v. Using lens formula to find the image distance.

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}

v is image distance

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{15}+\dfrac{1}{(-6)}\\\\v=-10\ cm

If h' is the height of the image. Magnification is given by :

m=\dfrac{h'}{h}=\dfrac{v}{u}

h'=\dfrac{vh}{u}\\\\h'=\dfrac{-10\times 12}{-6}\\\\h'=20\ cm

So, the height of the image of the candle is 20 cm.

An underwater scuba diver sees the Sun at an apparent angle of 43.0° above the horizontal. What is the actual elevation angle of
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The actual elevation angle is 12.87 degrees

Explanation:

In the attachment you can clearly see the situation. The angle of elevation as seen for the scuba diver is shown in magenta, we conclude that \theta_2=90-43=47.

Using Snell's Law we can write:

n_1\sin(\theta_1)=n_2\sin(\theta_2)

\implies \sin(\theta_1)=\frac{n_2}{n_1}\sin(\theta_2),

Let's approximate the index of refraction of the air (medium 1 in the picture) to 1.

We thus have:

\sin(\theta_1)=n_2\sin(\theta_2)=1.333\sin(47)

\implies\theta_1=\arcsin[n_2\sin(\theta_2)]=\arcsin[1.333\sin(47)]\approx 77.13. Calling \alpha the actual angle of elevation, we get from the picture that \alpha=90-77.13=12.97

A lizard accelerates from 2 m/s to 10 m/s in 4 seconds. what is the lizard average acceleration
VLD [36.1K]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (ending speed) - (starting speed)

change in speed = (10 m/s) - (2 m/s)  =  8 m/s

Acceleration = (8 m/s) / (4 sec)

Acceleration = (8/4) (m/s²)

<em>Acceleration = 2 m/s²</em>

A force acting on a body causes a change in the momentum of the from 12 kgms-1 to 16 kgms-1 in 0.2 s. calculate the magnitude of
Nonamiya [84]

Answer: Impulse = 4 kgm/s

Explanation:

From the question, you're given the following parameters:

Momentum P1 = 12 kgm/s

Momentum P2 = 16 kgm/s

Time t = 0.2 s

According to second law of motion,

Force F = change in momentum ÷ time

That is

F = (P2 - P1)/t

Cross multiply

Ft = P2 - P1

Where Ft = impulse

Substitute P1 and P2 into the formula

Impulse = 16 - 12 = 4 kgm/s

The magnitude of the impulse is therefore 4 kgm/s.

A common physics demonstration is to drop a small magnet down a long, vertical aluminum pipe. Describe the motion of the magnet
Rzqust [24]

Answer and Explanation:

This experiment is known as Lenz's tube.

The Lenz tube is an experiment that shows how you can brake a magnetic dipole that goes down a tube that conducts electric current. The magnet, when falling, along with its magnetic field, will generate variations in the magnetic field flux within the tube. These variations create an emf induced according to Faraday's Law:

\varepsilon =-\frac{d\phi_B}{dt}

This emf induced on the surface of the tube generates a current within it according to Ohm's Law:

V=IR

This emf and current oppose the flux change, therefore a field will be produced in such a direction that the magnet is repelled from below and is attracted from above. The magnitude of the flux at the bottom of the magnet increases from the point of view of the tube, and at the top it decreases. Therefore, two "magnets" are generated under and above the dipole, which repel it below and attract above. Finally, the dipole feels a force in the opposite direction to the direction of fall, therefore it falls with less speed.
