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 angles shown in this picture is the angle of incidence?<br> A<br> B
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
The pictures are not attached, therefore, I cannot give a specific choice.
However, I will try to help you out.

The angle of incidence is defined as the angle formed between the ray of light and the normal to the surface that the ray is falling on.

The angle of incidence can be shown in the attached image.

Therefore, for your question, choose the image on which the above description applies.

Hope this helps :)

Why pressure above the surface is greater than in the air​
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels. ... Since most of the atmosphere's molecules are held close to the earth's surface by the force of gravity, air pressure decreases rapidly at first, then more slowly at higher levels.

Are the units of the formula ma = mv2/2 dimensionally consistent? Select the single best answer.
Vesnalui [34]

To solve the problem we will simply perform equivalence between both expressions. We will proceed to place your units and develop your internal operations in case there is any. From there we will compare and look at its consistency

ma = \text{Mass}\times \text{Acceleration}

ma = kg \cdot \frac{m}{s^2}

At the same time we have that

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \text{Mass}\times \text{Velocity}^2

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg ( \frac{m}{s})^2

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg \cdot \frac{m^2}{s^2}

Therefore there is not have same units and both are not consistent and the correct answer is B.

Giving brainliest!! if you answer correctly :) (30pts)
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

32000joule.

Explanation:

given

mass. (m)=160kg

speed (v)=20m/s

now

kinetic energy =1/2 (mv²)=1/2 ×{160×20²}=32000joule.

A ball initially at rest rolls down a hill with an acceleration of 3.3 m/s2. If it accelerates for 7.5 s, how far will it move?
goldfiish [28.3K]

<u>Answer:</u>

  Ball will move 92.8125 meter along the cliff in 7.5 seconds.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In this case initial velocity = 0 m/s, acceleration = 3.3 m/s^2, we need to calculate displacement when time = 7.5 seconds.

Substituting

  s=0*7.5+\frac{1}{2} *3.3*7.5^2\\ \\ =92.8125 meter

  So ball will move 92.8125 meter along the cliff in 7.5 seconds.
