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.

The resultant of two forces acting on the same point simultaneously will be the greatest when the angle between them is:a) 180 d

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

0 degrees

Explanation:

Let $F_1\ and\ F_2$ are two forces. The resultant of two forces acting on the same point is given by :

$F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2\ cos\theta}$

Where $\theta$ is the angle between two forces

When $\theta=0$ i.e. when two forces are parallel to each other,

$F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2\ cos(0)}$

$F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2}$

When $\theta=90^{\circ}$ i.e. when two forces are parallel to each other,

$F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+F_1F_2\ cos(90)}$

$F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2}$

When $\theta=180^{\circ}$ i.e. when two forces are parallel to each other,

$F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+F_1F_2\ cos(180)}$

$F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2-2F_1F_2}$

It is clear that the resultant of two forces acting on the same point simultaneously will be the greatest when the angle between them is 0 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.

State Archimedes' principle

OlgaM077 [116]

Explanation:

Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force which is exerted on body when immersed whether fully submerged or partially in the fluid is equal to weight of fluid which body displaces and this force acts in upward direction at center of mass of displaced fluid.

Thus,

<u>Weight of the displaced fluid = Weight of the object - Weight of object in fluid.</u>

The coil of a generator has a radius of 0.14 m. When this coil is unwound, the wire from which it is made has a length of 10.0 m

adell [148]

Answer:

5.565 V

Explanation:

Radius of coil of generator=r=0.14 m

Length of wire=l=10 m

Magnetic field,B=0.24 T

Angular speed, $\omega=34rad/s$

We have to find the peak emf of the generator.

$N=\frac{l}{2\pi r}=\frac{10}{2\pi\times 0.14}=11$

$A=\pi r^2=\pi (0.14)^2=0.062m^2$

Peak(maximum) induced emf of generator= $E_{max}=NBA\omega$

Using the formula

$E_{max}=11\times 0.24\times 0.062\times 34$

$E_{max}=5.565 V$

Imagine you derive the following expression by analyzing the physics of a particular system: v2=v20+2ax. The problem requires so

lisabon 2012 [21]

As per kinematics equation we are given that

$v^2 = v_o^2 + 2ax$

now we are given that

a = 2.55 m/s^2

$v_0 = 21.8 m/s$

$v = 0$

now we need to find x

from above equation we have

$0^2 = 21.8^2 + 2(2.55)x$

$0 = 475.24 + 5.1 x$

$x = 93.2 m$

so it will cover a distance of 93.2 m
