Answer:

In this case reflection occurs.

Explanation:

This happens when they bounce on objects that they can not pass through.

Hope it helps

When an object is placed 110 cm from a diverging thin lens, its image is found to be 55 cm from the lens. The lens is removed, a

Kazeer [188]

Explanation:

Given that,

Object distance u= -110 cm

Image distance v= 55 cm

We need to calculate the focal length for diverging lens

Using formula of lens

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{-f}=\dfrac{1}{55}-\dfrac{1}{-110}$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{3}{110}$

$f=-36.6\ cm$

The focal length of the diverging lens is 36.6 cm.

Now given a thin lens with same magnitude of focal length 36.6 cm is replaced.

Here, The object distance is again the same.

We need to calculate the image distance for converging lens

Using formula of lens

$\dfrac{1}{36.6}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{-110}$

Here, focal length is positive for converging lens

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{36.6}-\dfrac{1}{110}$

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{367}{20130}$

$v=54.85\ cm$

The distance of the image is 54.85 cm from converging lens.

Hence, This is the required solution.

You are pushing a heavy box across a rough floor. when you are initially pushing the box and it is accelerating, (a) you exert a

kodGreya [7K]

The answer is C. If the box is accelerating, that means that the amount of force you are exerting is greater than the force of the box.

A sample of metallic frewium weighs 185N on a spring scale in air. When immersed in pure water, the frewium pulls on the scale w

balu736 [363]

Wow ! This one could have some twists and turns in it.
Fasten your seat belt. It's going to be a boompy ride.

-- The buoyant force is precisely the missing 30N .

-- In order to calculate the density of the frewium sample, we need to know
its mass and its volume. Then, density = mass/volume .

-- From the weight of the sample in air, we can closely calculate its mass.

 Weight = (mass) x (gravity)
 185N = (mass) x (9.81 m/s²)
 Mass = (185N) / (9.81 m/s²) = 18.858 kilograms of frewium

-- For its volume, we need to calculate the volume of the displaced water.

The buoyant force is equal to the weight of displaced water, and the
density of water is about 1 gram per cm³. So the volume of the
displaced water (in cm³) is the same as the number of grams in it.

The weight of the displaced water is 30N, and weight = (mass) (gravity).

 30N = (mass of the displaced water) x (9.81 m/s²)

 Mass = (30N) / (9.81 m/s²) = 3.058 kilograms

 Volume of displaced water = 3,058 cm³

Finally, density of the frewium sample = (mass)/(volume)

 Density = (18,858 grams) / (3,058 cm³) = 6.167 gm/cm³ (rounded)

================================================

I'm thinking that this must be the hard way to do it,
because I noticed that

 (weight in air) / (buoyant force) = 185N / 30N = 6.1666...

So apparently . . .

 (density of a sample) / (density of water) =

 (weight of the sample in air) / (buoyant force in water) .

I never knew that, but it's a good factoid to keep in my tool-box.

One of the checks that you could do for problem 1) would be to check the output resistance of the Wheatstone bridge to make sure

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the four resistances of th wheat stone bridge is

P, Q, R and S and the value of each is 350 ohm.

Here, P and Q are in series.

R' = P + Q = 350 + 350 = 700 ohm

Then R and S are in series

R' = R + S = 350 + 350 = 700 ohm

Now R' and R'' are in parallel.

So, the equivalent resistance is

Req = R' x R'' / ( R' + R'')

Req = 700 / 2 = 350 ohm

Thus, the reading of ohmmeter is 350 ohm.
