How big is a ton? That is, what is the volume of something that weighs a ton? To be specific, estimate the diameter of a 1-ton r

ock, but first make a wild guess>: will it be 1 ft across, 3 feet, or the size of a car? (Hint: Rock has mass er volume about three times that of water, which is 1 kg per liter(10^3cm^3) or 62lb per cubic foot) ...?

<span>Short ton is equal to 2000 lb. A metric tonne is equal to 1000 kilograms.

T</span>o get the volume of a rock you should divide the mass (1000 kg) by the density. Assume the density is three times of water. You can assume the rock is a sphere or cube to get the approximate dimension from the volume. 

<span>The density of water is 1000 kg / m^3

At what speed (in m/s) will a proton move in a circular path of the same radius as an electron that travels at 8.00 ✕ 106 m/s pe
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

4347.8 m/s  

Explanation:

It is given that the radius of the circular path traversed by proton and electron is same. Also, we know that magnitude of charge on an electron and proton is same. Magnetic field strength is same for both.

\frac{m_ev_e^2}{r}=qv_eB\\\frac{m_pv_p^2}{r}=qv_pB\\

Take the ratio:

m_ev_e=m_pv_p\\\Rightarrow v_p=\frac{m_e}{m_p}v_e\\\Rightarrow v_p=\frac{1}{1840}\times 8.0\times 10^6 m/s\\\Rightarrow v_p=4347.8m/s

Two converging lenses are placed 30 cm apart. The focal length of the lens on the right is 20 cm while the focal length of the l
Masja [62]

Answer:

a)   I2 = 3 (o-10) / (o- 30) , b)   h ’/h=  3 (o-10) / o (o-30)

Explanation:

The builder's equation is

          1 / f = 1 / o + 1 / i

Where f is the focal length, or e i are the distance to the object and image, respectively

As the separation between the lenses is greater than the focal distances, we must work them individually and separately. Let's start with the leftmost lens with focal length f = 15 cm

Let's calculate the position of the image of this lens

         1 / i1 = 1 / f - 1 / o

         1 / i1 = 1/15 - 1 / o

         i1 = o 15 / (o-15)

Let's calculate the distance to the image of the second lens, for this the image of the first is the distance to the object of the second

        o2 = d-i1

We write the builder equation

       1 / f2 = 1 / o2 + 1 / i2

       1 / i2 = 1 / f2 -1 / o2

       1 / i2 = 1 / f2 - 1 / (d-i1)

       1 / i2 = 1/20 - 1 / (d-i1)            (1)

Let's evaluate the last term

      d-i1 = d - 15 o / (o-15)

      d-i1 = (d (o-15) - 15 o) / (o-15)

      d- i1 = (30 or -30 15 -15 o) / (o-15)

      d-i1 = (15 or - 450) / (o- 15)

      d-i1 = = (15 or -450) / (o-15)

replace in 1

      1 / i2 = 1/20 - (or - 15) / (15 or -450)

      1 / i2 = [(15 o-450) - (o-15) 20] / (15 or -150)

      1 / i2 = (15 or - 450 - 20 or + 300) / (15 or - 150)

      1 / i2 = (-5 or -150) / (15 or -150)

      1 / i2 = (or -30) / (3 or - 30)

      I2 = 3 (o-10) / (o- 30)

Part B

The height of the image, we use the magnification equation

     m = h ’/ h = - i / o

     h ’= - h i / o

In our case

     h ’= h i2 / o

     h ’= h 3 (o-10) / o (o-30)

If they give the distance to the object it is easier
