Answer:

Wg is positive and WT negative.

(Letters in options are all wrongly written).

Explanation:

Remember that the work of a force is the internal product between the force and the displacement W=F.d.

Since the displacement is downwards like the weight, the work done by gravity is positive, while the work done by the tension is negative since it points upwards.

Determine the focal length of a plano-concave lens (refractive index n =1.5) with 24 cm radius of curvature on its curve surface
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Option 3: -48 cm

Explanation:

We are given:

refractive index; n = 1.5

radius of curvature; r2 = 24 cm

Formula for the focal length is given as;

1/f = (n - 1) × [(1/r1) - (1/r2)]

As r1 tends to infinity, 1/r1 = 0

Thus,we now have;

1/f = (n - 1) × (-1/r2)

Plugging in the relevant values;

1/f = (1.5 - 1) × (-1/24)

1/f = -0.02083333333

f = -1/0.02083333333

f = -48 cm

Solve the equation of motion, using Newton's 1 Law F 0, for a general case of M the mass of the wooden block and u, being the co
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The first thing to have to make a diagram where we indicate the forces acting on the block, see attached. We have the following

  The weight (W) that is vertical

  The friction force (fr) that opposes the movement

  The driving force (F)

  The normal (N) which is the reaction to the support of the body and is perpendicular to the surface

We write a reference system where one axis is parallel to the surface (x axis) and the other is perpendicular to it (Y axis) we decompose the forces on these axes, we see that the only force we have to decompose r is the weight

             sin θ  = Wx / W       ⇒      Wx = W sin θ

             cos θ = Xy / W        ⇒      Wy = Wcos θ

We write Newton's equations for each axis

             N- Wy = 0

             F -fr -Wx = m a          (1)

The expression for the friction force is

             fr = μ N

             N = Wy

             N = W cos θ

             fr = μ mg cosT

   

We hope, we simplify the acceleration of equation 1

           a = F - μ mg cos θ -mg sinθ

           a = F - mg (μ cos θ -sin θ)

This is the general equation for movement.
