Difference between convex lens and convex mirror.

1 answer:

4 0

For lenses, light converges to a point for a convex lens. A convex mirror diverges light.
source - Boston University

The lens is transparent throughout (lets light pass through), while the mirror reflects light.

A person travels by car from one city to another. She drives for 23.5 min at 74.5 km/h, 15.9 min at 111 km/h, 49.2 min at 38.7 k

Drupady [299]

The product of speed and time is distance. To calculate the total distance you multiple the speed in kilometers per second by the time at that speed in seconds, do this for all 3 different speeds then add them up, the 17.4 minutes eating does not affect the answer at all. to convert from minutes to seconds multiply time in minutes by 60, to convert from km/h to km/s divide km/h by 3600.

(23.5x60)x(74.5/3600) = 29.2km (rounded to 1 decimal place)
+
(15.9x60)x(111/3600) = 29.4km (rounded to 1 decimal place)
+
(49.2x60)x(38.7/3600) = 31.7km
=90.3km

The brackets are not necessary but i think it makes it more clear what is happening in your working.

A 0.35-kgkg cord is stretched between two supports, 7.4 mm apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave trav

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The tension in the string is $T = 1.49*10^{-6}N$ .

Explanation:

For a string with tension $T$ and linear density $\mu_d$ carrying a transverse wave at speed $v$ it is true that

$v = \sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu_d} }$

solving for $T$ we get:

$T = \dfrac{v^2}{\mu_d}.$

Now, the transverse wave covers the distance of 7.4mm in 0.88s, which means it's speed is

$v =\dfrac{7.4*10^{-3}m}{0.88s} \\\\v = 8.4*10^{-3}s$

And it's linear density (mass per unit length) is

$\mu_d = \dfrac{0.35kg}{7.4*10^{-3}m} \\\\\mu_d = 47.3kg/m$

Therefore, the tension in the cord is

$T = \dfrac{(8.4*10^{-3}m/s^2)^2}{47.3kg/m}.$

$\boxed{T = 1.5*10^{-6}N}$

or in micro newtons

$T =1.5\mu N$

Once a disk forms around a star, the process of planetary formation can begin. Rank the evolutionary stages for the formation of

PolarNik [594]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The evolutionary stages for the formation of planets from earliest to latest will be:

1. Dust keeps matter inside the disk cool enough for planet formation to start

2. Dust grains form condensation nuclei on which surrounding atoms condense to form small clumps of matter.

3. Small clumps of matter stick together via the process of accretion to form planetesimals a few hundred kilometers in diameter.

4. Planetesimals begin to accrete, forming protoplanets.

5. A collection of a few planet-sized protoplanets remain in a fairly cleared out disk around the star

Which of the following objects cannot make a shadow? Broken piece of glass from a window/wooden pane of the same window? Explain

Lorico [155]

Answer:

broken pieces of glass from a window can't form a shadow.

Explanation:

the reason is that shadow is formed only when light rays hits an opaque object, which doesn't let light to pass through it, but glass is a transparent object, hence light rays passes through it forming no shadow..

i hope it helped....

If 2000 kg cannon fires 2 kg projectile having muzzle velocity 200 m/s then the KINETIC ENERGY of the CANNON will be ("E4" means

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

M V = m v conservation of momentum (Caps-cannon Small-projectile)

V = m / M * V = 2 / 2000 * 200 m/s = .2 m/s recoil velocity of cannon

KE = 1/2 M V^2 = 2000 / 2 kg * (.2 m/s)^2 = 40 kg m^2/s^2 = 40 J
