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

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 student throws a rock horizontally off a 5.0 m tall building. The rock's initial speed is 6.0 m/s. How long will it take the r
Archy [21]

Answer:

The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is 0.569 seconds.

Explanation:

Given that,

A student throws a rock horizontally off a 5.0 m tall building, s = 5 m

The initial speed of the rock, u = 6 m/s

We need to find the time taken by the rock to reach the ground. Using second equation of motion to find it. We get :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\5=6t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8t^2\\\\t=0.569\ seconds

So, the time taken by the rock to reach the ground is 0.569 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

In a thermostat, what property of the bimetallic coil allows it to contract and expand? The two metals absorb different amounts
Reika [66]
Hello!

In a thermostat, the property of the bimetallic coil that allows it to contract and expand is that The two metals absorb different amounts of thermal energy. 

This bimetallic coil is used to transform thermal energy into mechanical movement. Two metals with different thermal expansivity are joined together parallelly and the changes of temperature cause bending in different directions depending on if the temperature is rising or descending. 

The differences in the thermal energy absorption of the two metals are the basis for the mechanism of this device.

Scorpion4ik [409]

For three moles of an ideal gas are taken around the eye, the total work for the cycle is mathematically given as

Wt=1945.475J

<h3>What is the total work F for the cycle.(R=8.31J/molK)?</h3>

Generally, the equation for work  is mathematically given as

Wt=wac+Wc+Wba

Therefore

Wac=Pa(Vc-Va)=nR(Tc-Ta)

Wac=3(8.314*192)

Wac=4788.864J

Wcb=P1v1-p2v2/v-1

Wcb-3*8.34*108/0.4

Wcb=-6734.34J

Wab=0

In conclusion,

Wt=wac+Wc+Wba

Wt=4788.864J+0+(-6734.34J)

Wt=+1945.475J

Answer:

B. Time and Space

Explanation:

Matter is a pshyical or corporeal susbtance in general, whether solid, liquid, or gaseous especially as distinguised from incorpeal substance, as spirit or mind, or form qualities, actions, and the

Within this time-and-space boundary, all matter exists. All matter is made up of atoms. Because these atoms take up space in the universe, solids, liquids, and gases are recognized as existing and may be found in all three dimensions.

Time is a figurative term. Space has three dimensions but time only has one.
