Answer:

Any incident ray traveling parallel to the principal axis of a converging lens will refract through the lens and travel through the focal point on the opposite side of the lens. ... These rays of light will refract when they enter the lens and refract when they leave the lens.

Hope this helps...

Compare and contrast the energy transfer of a roller coaster to that of a pendulum

Softa [21]

When the pendulum and roller coaster move to the top, its has more potential energy whereas when comes to the bottom has more kinetic energy.

<h3>Compare and contrast the energy transfer of a roller coaster to that of a pendulum:</h3><h3>What is the transfer of energy in a roller coaster?</h3>

The transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy occur when the roller coaster move along the track. As the motor pulls the cars to the top, the body has more potential energy whereas when the body comes to the bottom , it has kinetic energy in the object.

<h3>What is the energy transfer in a pendulum?</h3>

As a pendulum swings, its potential energy changes to kinetic energy and kinetic energy changes into potential energy. At the top more potential energy is present.

So we can conclude that When the pendulum and roller coaster move to the top, its has more potential energy whereas when comes to the bottom has more kinetic energy.

What is a type of matter made up of a combination of elements

myrzilka [38]

A type of matter made up of a combination of elements is called a compound. for example table salt, is made up of two elements that by themselves are lethal but chemically combined cancel each other out there for becoming edible.

Assume that the electric field E is equal to zero at a given point. Does it mean that the electric potential V must also be equa

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

No, this doesn't mean the electric potential equals zero.

Explanation:

In electrostatics, the electric field $\vec{E}$ is related to the gradient of the electric potential V with :

$\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = - \vec{\nabla} V (\vec{r})$

This means that for constant electric potential the electric field must be zero:

$V(\vec{r}) = k$

$\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = - \vec{\nabla} V (\vec{r}) = - \vec{\nabla} k$

$\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = - (\frac{\partial}{\partial x} , \frac{\partial}{\partial y } , \frac{\partial}{\partial z}) k$

$\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = - (\frac{\partial k}{\partial x} , \frac{\partial k}{\partial y } , \frac{\partial k}{\partial z})$

$\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = - (0,0,0)$

This is not the only case in which we would find an zero electric field, as, any scalar field with gradient zero will give an zero electric field. For example:

$V(\vec{r})= (x+2)^2 (y+4)^3 (z+5)^4$

give an electric field of zero at point (0,0,0)

Why do astronomers believe that triton is a captured moon?

Dafna11 [192]

Answer: Accoding to research "Triton is unique among all the large moons in the solar system because it orbits Neptune in a direction opposite to the planet's rotation (a "retrograde" orbit). It is unlikely to have formed in this configuration and was probably captured from elsewhere."
