Sherlock Holmes is using an 9.99-cm-focal-length lens as his magnifying glass. To obtain maximum magnification, where must the o

Answer:

The object must be placed just ahead of focus towards the lens.

Explanation:

As we know that a magnifying glass is a convex lens and for the convex lens and for a convex lens we get the image virtual, erect and magnified only when it is placed between the optical center and the focus of the lens.

In that range when the object is nearest to the focus of the lens it has the maximum size.

So it can be possible if the object is placed at 9.98 cm from the optical center.

The largest image is formed at infinity when the object is placed at focus but it is not visible to the normal eyes.

A bullet of mass 120g is fired horizontally into a fixed wooden block with a speed of 20m\s. The bullet is brought to rest in a
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

1) F = 24 N

2) Distance = 1 m

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass; m = 120 g = 0.12 kg

Initial velocity; u = 20 m/s

Final velocity; v = 0 m/s since it came to rest.

Time; t = 0.1 s

We can calculate acceleration from Newton's first equation of motion;

a = (v - u)/t

a = (0 - 20)/0.1

a = -200 m/s²

1) magnitude of the resistance will be;

F = ma

F = 0.12 × (-200)

F = -24 N

Since, we are dealing with the magnitude, we will take the absolute value. Thus, F = 24 N

2) To find the distance moved by the bullet, we know that;

Distance = Average speed × time

Thus;

Distance = ((v + u)/2) × t

Distance = ((0 + 20)/2) × 0.1

Distance = 1 m

1 Write 7 next to the statements that are true.
Grace [21]

Answer: The pressure in a liquid dec reaches with depth. F

The pressure in a liquid increases with depth.

The upthrust on an object is larger when it is deeper in a pool. 7

The bottom of a dam is thinner than the top of a dam. F

The bottom of a dam is thicker than the top of a dam.

The pressure is bigger at the bottom of a lake because of the weight of water above it. 7

I think these are the answers.

Alenkinab [10]

Explanation:

given

m=3500kg,h=4.0m,v=12m/s

ke=½mv²

½×3500×12²=3500×144÷2

=252,000j or 252j
