A concave lens of power -2D is placed in contact with a convex lens of power +1.5D what will be the resultant power

Physics

jok3333 [9.3K]3 years ago

Answer: -0.5 D

Explanation:

The resultant power can be defined as the sum of powers of all the lenses placed in contact together.

P =P₁ + P₂ + P₃ +....

It is given that power of the concave lens is, P₁ = -2 D

Power of the convex lens is, P₂ = +1.5 D

Thus, the resultant power when these two lenses are placed in contact with each other are: P = P₁ + P₂ = -2 D + 1.5 D = -0.5 D.

A 1kg dictionary is resting on a table that is 1.5m high. How much potential energy
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Potential energy = 14.7 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass, m = 1kg

Height, h = 1.5m

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²

Potential energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

P.E = mgh

Where, P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

P.E = mgh

Substituting into the equation, we have;

P.E = 1*9.8*1.5

P.E = 14.7 Joules.

Does research lessen its value for its being cyclical? Enumerate Two Possible advantages of a cyclical research
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Research usually is a cyclical process because it starts with a problem and ends with a problem.

This is bad or lessens the value of the research?

No, because there are problems that in nature are cyclical, (for example the related ones to action research).

And it also may be a good thing, solving one "problem" leads to another problem, but in the process of solving the first one we may win a lot of knowledge, and the same happens with the next one, and so on.

Two possible advantages of cyclical research are:

Knowing beforehand that the research will be cyclical, will allow us to estimate better the amount of time and money needed because we already know (more or less) where to aim.

It also may lead to a better end product, as we already know that we must focus in solving one thing and then we can focus in the next one.

Another possible advantage may be that we know that after the work, there will be a new thing to research, and it is fun, so if you are curious enough this may be a good thing (especially in scientific areas, physics, chemistry, etc).

A crate rests on a flatbed truck which is initially traveling at 17.9 m/s on a level road. The driver applies the brakes and the
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The minimum coefficient of friction required is 0.35.  

Explanation:

The minimum coefficient of friction required to keep the crate from sliding can be found as follows:

-F_{f} + F = 0      

-F_{f} + ma = 0      

\mu mg = ma

\mu = \frac{a}{g}

Where:

μ: is the coefficient of friction

m: is the mass of the crate

g: is the gravity

a: is the acceleration of the truck

The acceleration of the truck can be found by using the following equation:

v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} + 2ad

a = \frac{v_{f}^{2} - v_{0}^{2}}{2d}

Where:  

d: is the distance traveled = 46.1 m

v_{f}: is the final speed of the truck = 0 (it stops)      

v_{0}: is the initial speed of the truck = 17.9 m/s

a = \frac{-(17.9 m/s)^{2}}{2*46.1 m} = -3.48 m/s^{2}        

If we take the reference system on the crate, the force will be positive since the crate will feel the movement in the positive direction.  

\mu = \frac{a}{g}  

\mu = \frac{3.48 m/s^{2}}{9.81 m/s^{2}}

\mu = 0.35

Therefore, the minimum coefficient of friction required is 0.35.  

I hope it helps you!
