Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The theoretical angular magnification lies within the angular magnification range

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The focal length of B is $f_{objective } = 43.0 \ cm$

The focal length of A is $f_{eye} = 10.4 \ cm$

The theoretical angular magnification is mathematically represented as

$m = \frac{f_{objective }}{f_{eye}} = \frac{43.0}{10.4}$

$m = \frac{f_{objective }}{f_{eye}} = 4.175$

Form the question the measured angular magnification ranges from 4 -5

So from the value calculated and the value given we can deduce that the theoretical angular magnification lies within the angular magnification range

kow [346]

Answer:

The tension in the cord is $T=\frac{MR^{2}g }{2b^{2}+R^{2} }$

Explanation:

Given:

M = mass

b = radius

R = spool of radius

The equation is:

$bT=(\frac{MR^{2} }{2} )(\frac{a}{b} )\\T=\frac{MR^{2}a }{2b^{2} }$ (eq. 1)

The sum of forces in y:

∑Fy = Mg - T = Ma

$Mg=(M+\frac{MR^{2} }{2b^{2} } )a\\a=\frac{2b^{2}g }{2b^{2}+R^{2} }$

Replacing in eq. 1

$T=\frac{MR^{2} }{2b^{2} } (\frac{2b^{2}g }{2b^{2} +R^{2} } )\\T=\frac{MR^{2}g }{2b^{2}+R^{2} }$

Describe the climate, landforms,and existing plant and animal life during the cretaceous period

Fiesta28 [93]

The climate<span> was generally warmer and more humid than today, probably because of very active volcanism associated with unusually high rates of seafloor spreading.
</span><span>The first placental mammals appeared at the beginning of the Cretaceous. The Cretaceous saw the rise and extinction of the toothed birds, Hesperornis and Ichthyornis. The earliest fossils of birds resembling loons, grebes, cormorants, pelicans, flamingos, ibises, rails, and sandpipers were from the Cretaceous.</span>

what equastion do you use to solve Riders in a carnival ride stand with their backs against the wall of a circular room of diame

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

μsmín = 0.1

Explanation:

There are three external forces acting on the riders, two in the vertical direction that oppose each other, the force due to gravity (which we call weight) and the friction force.
This friction force has a maximum value, that can be written as follows:

$F_{frmax} = \mu_{s} *F_{n} (1)$

where μs is the coefficient of static friction, and Fn is the normal force,

perpendicular to the wall and aiming to the center of rotation.

This force is the only force acting in the horizontal direction, but, at the same time, is the force that keeps the riders rotating, which is the centripetal force.
This force has the following general expression:

$F_{c} = m* \omega^{2} * r (2)$

where ω is the angular velocity of the riders, and r the distance to the

center of rotation (the radius of the circle), and m the mass of the

riders.

Since Fc is actually Fn, we can replace the right side of (2) in (1), as

follows:

$F_{frmax} = m* \mu_{s} * \omega^{2} * r (3)$

When the riders are on the verge of sliding down, this force must be equal to the weight Fg, so we can write the following equation:

$m* g = m* \mu_{smin} * \omega^{2} * r (4)$

(The coefficient of static friction is the minimum possible, due to any value less than it would cause the riders to slide down)

Cancelling the masses on both sides of (4), we get:

$g = \mu_{smin} * \omega^{2} * r (5)$

Prior to solve (5) we need to convert ω from rev/min to rad/sec, as follows:

$60 rev/min * \frac{2*\pi rad}{1 rev} *\frac{1min}{60 sec} =6.28 rad/sec (6)$

Replacing by the givens in (5), we can solve for μsmín, as follows:

$\mu_{smin} = \frac{g}{\omega^{2} *r} = \frac{9.8m/s2}{(6.28rad/sec)^{2} *2.5 m} =0.1 (7)$

A 2-kW electric heater takes 15 min to boil a quantity of water. If this is done once a day and power costs 10 cents per kWh, wh

frozen [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given data

power P= 2 kW

time t= 15 min to hours = 15/60= 1/4 h

cost of power consumption per kWh= 10 cent = $0.1

We are expected to compute the cost of operating the heater for 30 days

but let us computer the energy consumption for one day

Energy of heater for one day= 2* 1/4 = 0.5 kWh

the cost of operating the heater for 30 days= 0.5*0.1*30= $1.50

<u><em>Hence it will cost $1.50 for 30 days operation</em></u>

A girl of mass 55 kg throws a ball of mass 0.80 kg against a wall. The ball strikes the wall horizontally with a speed of 25 m/s

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Magnitude of the average force exerted on the wall by the ball is 800N

Explanation:

Given

Contact Time = t = 0.05 seconds

Mass (of ball) = 0.80kg

Initial Velocity = u = 25m/s

Final Velocity = 25m/s

Magnitude of the average force exerted on the wall by the ball is given by;

F = ma

Where m = 0.8kg

a = Average Acceleration

a = (u + v)/t

a = (25 + 25)/0.05

a = 50/0.05

a = 1000m/s²

Average Force = Mass * Average Acceleration

Average Force = 0.8kg * 1000m/s²

Average Force = 800kgm/s²

Average Force = 800N

Hence, the magnitude of the average force exerted on the wall by the ball is 800N
