l length of the lens and the kind of lens is used? (b) What is the magnification and height of the image? (c) Describe the image in terms of its type, orientation and size relative to the object?

Answer:

a) Focal length of the lens is 8 cm which is a convex lens

b) 6 cm

c) The lens is a convex lens and produces a virtual image which is upright and two times larger than the object.

Explanation:

u = Object distance = 4 cm

v = Image distance = -8 cm

f = Focal length

Lens Equation

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{-8}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{8}\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{8}{1}=-8\ cm$

a) Focal length of the lens is 8 cm which is a convex lens

Magnification

$m=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow m=-\frac{-8}{4}\\\Rightarrow m=2$

b) Height of image is 2×3 = 6 cm

Since magnification is positive the image upright

c) The lens is a convex lens and produces a virtual image which is upright and two times larger than the object.

Which of the following is NOT a level of home monitoring?

Bingel [31]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

d. electronic monitoring

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Home monitoring in its simplest term is the act of restricting the movement of an entity, object or an individual to a specified location, usually their homes.

In criminology, there are various levels of home monitoring. Some of them are;

i. <em>Curfew</em>: This type of home monitoring requires that the persons being monitored be indoors/at home at specified hours.

ii. <em>Home incarceration</em>: This level of home monitoring requires that the persons being monitored be indoors/at home at all times except in times of medical urgencies.

iii. <em>Home detention</em>: This seems to be one of the less strict forms of home monitoring. It requires that the persons being monitored be indoors/at home at all times except when necessary. For example, they could go to school, their workplace, to the market and so on.

Electronic monitoring is not a form of home monitoring as it allows the person being monitored to move freely. They might just contacted via telephone or any other means, at intervals to know their whereabouts.

What does Coulombs law state?

dedylja [7]

Coulomb's law states<span> that: The magnitude of the electrostatic force of interaction between two point charges is directly proportional to the scalar multiplication of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

A wheel is rotating at 30.0 rpm. The wheel then accelerates uniformly to 50.0 rpm in 10.0 seconds. Determine the – a) rate of an

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

The angular acceleration is $0.209\ rad/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular velocity, $\omega_{i} = 30.0\ rpm$

Angular velocity, $\omega_{f} = 50.0\ rpm$

Time t = 10.0 sec

We need to calculate the angular acceleration

Using formula of angular acceleration

$\alpha=\dfrac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}$

$\alpha=\dfrac{\omega_{f}-\omega_{i}}{\Delta t}$

$\alpha=\dfrac{50.0-30.0}{10.0}$

Now, we change the angular velocity in rad/s.

$\omega=20\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60}$

$\omega=2.09\ rad/s$

$\alpha=\dfrac{2.09}{10.0}$

$\alpha=0.209\ rad/s^2$

Hence, The angular acceleration is $0.209\ rad/s^2$

A helicopter is ascending vertically with a speed of 5.10m/s. At a height of 105m above the Earth, a package is dropped from a w

Luden [163]

Here it is given that initial speed of the package will be same as speed of the helicopter

$v_i = 5.10 m/s$

displacement of the package as it is dropped on ground

$d = -105 m$

acceleration is due to gravity

$a = -9.8 m/s^2$

now by kinematics

$y = v* t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$-105 = 5.1 * t - \frac{1}{2}*9.8*t^2$

$4.9 t^2 - 5.1 t - 105 = 0$

by solving above equation we have

$t = 5.2 s$

so it will take 5.2 s to reach the ground

A dart is thrown at a dartboard 3.66 m away. When the dart is released at the same height as the center of the dartboard, it hit

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The angle is $\theta = 15.48^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance of the dartboard from the dart is $d = 3.66 \ m$

The time taken is $t = 0.455 \ s$

The horizontal component of the speed of the dart is mathematically represented as

$u_x = ucos \theta$

where u is the the velocity at dart is lunched

so

$distance = velocity \ in \ the\ x-direction * time$

substituting values

$3.66 = ucos \theta * (0.455)$

=> $ucos \theta = 8.04 \ m/s$

From projectile kinematics the time taken by the dart can be mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{2usin \theta }{g}$

=> $usin \theta = \frac{g * t}{2 }$

$usin \theta = \frac{9.8 * 0.455}{2 }$

$usin \theta = 2.23$

=> $tan \theta = \frac{usin\theta }{ucos \theta } = \frac{2.23}{8.04}$

$\theta = tan^{-1} [0.277]$

$\theta = 15.48^o$
