Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Magnification of Microscope is

$M = M_o \times M_e$

Mo= Magnification of objective lens and

Me= magnification of the eyepiece.

Both magnifications( of objective and eyepiece) are inversely proportional to the focal length.

Magnification,

$M\ \alpha\ \dfrac{1}{f}$

when the focal length is less magnification will be high and when the magnification is the low focal length of the microscope will be more.

Thus. Magnification will increase by decreasing the focal length.

The correct answer is Option B i.e. using shorter focal length

A 5000 kg open train car is rolling on frictionless rails at 22 m/s when it starts pouring rain. A few minutes later, the car’s

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

500 kg

Explanation:

It is given that,

The mass of a open train car, M = 5000 kg

Speed of open train car, V = 22 m/s

A few minutes later, the car’s speed is 20 m/s

We need to find the mass of water collected in the car. It is based on the conservation of momentum as follows :

initial momentum = final momentum

Let m is final mass

MV=mv

$m=\dfrac{MV}{v}\\\\m=\dfrac{5000\times 22}{20}\\\\=5500\ kg$

Water collected = After mass of train - before mass of train

= 5500 - 5000

= 500 kg

So, 500 kg of water has collected in the car.

Two plane mirrors are separated by 120°, as the drawing illustrates. If a ray strikes mirror M1 at a θ1 = 64° angle of incidence

tino4ka555 [31]

Angle, θ2 at which the light leaves mirror 2 is 56°

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

θ1 = 64°

So, α will also be 64°

According to the figure:

α + β = 90°

So,

β = 90° - α

= 90° - 64°

= 26°

β + γ + 120° = 180°

γ = 180° - 120° - β

γ = 180° - 120° - 26°

γ = 34°

γ + δ = 90°

δ = 90° - γ

δ = 90° - 34°

δ = 56°

According to the law of reflection,

angle of incidence = angle of reflection

θ2 = δ = 56°

Therefore, angle θ2 at which the light leaves mirror 2 is 56°

a skydiver jumps out of a plane. describe how gravitational potential energy changes as the skydiver falls. describe how the sky

Oliga [24]

gravitational potential is directly proportional to the height of the object relative to a reference line and is given as

PE = mgh

where m = mass of object , g = acceleration due to

gravity and h = height of the object above the reference line .

as the skydiver falls , its height above the ground decrease and hence the gravitational potential energy of the skydiver decrease.

as per conservation of energy , total energy of the skydiver must remain constant all the time . hence the decrease in potential energy appears as increase in kinetic energy by same amount to keep the total energy constant

KE + PE = Total energy

so as the skydiver falls , it gains speed and hence the kinetic energy of skydiver increase since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed.

when the parachute opens, the skydiver experience force in upward which tries to balance the weight of the skydiver. hence the speed of the skydiver decrease until upward force becomes equal to the downward force. hence the kinetic energy decrease just after the parachute opens
