_____ lenses always produce smaller images

Physics

1 answer:

tatyana61 [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

The Answer is Concave. Concave images make images smaller, they refract the light rays in many directions, causing the original image to shrink. This is why shortsighted people wear concave lenses. Convex lenses, the other type of diverging lenses, cause the image to be larger, because it concentrates the image in a specific point. That is how a magnifying glass works.

A meter stick is held vertically with one end on the floor and is then allowed to fall. Find the speed of the other end when it

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

5.4 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

Here we have to use conservation of energy. Initially when the stick is held vertical, its center of mass is at some height above the ground, hence the stick has some gravitational potential energy. As the stick is allowed to fall, its rotates about one. gravitational potential energy of the stick gets converted into rotational kinetic energy.

$L$ = length of the meter stick = 1 m

$m$ = mass of the meter stick

$w$ = angular speed of the meter stick as it hits the floor

$v$ = speed of the other end of the stick

we know that, linear speed and angular speed are related as

$v = r w\\w = \frac{v}{r}$

$h$ = height of center of mass of meter stick above the floor = $\frac{L}{2} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 m$

$I$ = Moment of inertia of the stick about one end

For a stick, momentof inertia about one end has the formula as

$I = \frac{mL^{2} }{3}$

Using conservation of energy

Rotational kinetic energy of the stick = gravitational potential energy

$(0.5) I w^{2} = mgh\\(0.5)(\frac{mL^{2} }{3}) (\frac{v}{L} )^{2} = mgh\\(0.5)(\frac{v^{2} }{3}) = gh\\(0.5)(\frac{v^{2} }{3}) = (9.8)(0.5)\\v = 5.4 ms^{-1}$

Two square air-filled parallel plates that are initially uncharged are separated by 1.2 mm, and each of them has an area of 190

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

$5.5\cdot 10^{-11} C$

Explanation:

The capacitance of the parallel-plate capacitor is given by:

$C=\epsilon_0 \frac{A}{d}$

where

$\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m$ is the vacuum permittivity

$A=190 mm^2 = 190 \cdot 10^{-6} m^2$ is the area of the plates

$d=1.2 mm = 0.0012 m$ is the separation between the plates

Substituting,

$C=(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}) \frac{190 \cdot 10^{-6}}{0.0012}=1.4\cdot 10^{-12}F$

The energy stored in the capacitor is given by

$U=\frac{Q^2}{2C}$

Since we know the energy

$U=1.1 nJ = 1.1 \cdot 10^{-9} J$

we can re-arrange the formula to find the charge, Q:

$Q=\sqrt{2UC}=\sqrt{2(1.1\cdot 10^{-9} J)(1.4\cdot 10^{-12}F )}=5.5\cdot 10^{-11} C$

The linear momentum of a truck of mass 5000 kg that is moving at a velocity of +30 m/a is ___ kg m/s

miv72 [106K]

Linear momentum of a truck is 1,50,000 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Linear momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. It is a vector quantity, which have a magnitude and a direction.

Linear momentum is a property of an object which is in motion with respect to a reference point (i.e. any object changing its position with respect to the reference point).

It's SI units are kg.m/s

Linear momentum is a vector quantity.

Linear momentum formula (p) = mass × velocity

Given data mass = 5000 kg ; velocity = 30 m/s

P = 5000 × 30

Linear momentum p= 1,50,000 kg.m/s
