Answer:

R₁ = (n -1) f

Explanation:

In geometric optics the focal length and the radius of curvature are related, for the case of a lens

1 / f = (n₂-n₀) (1 / R₁ - 1 / R₂)

where f is the focal length, n₂ is the refractive index of the material, n₀ is the refractive index of the medium surrounding the material, R₁ and R₂ are the radius of curvature of each of the material's

In our case, the most common is that the lens is in the air, so n1 = 1, in many cases one of the surfaces is flat, so its radius of curvature R₂ = ∞.

1 / f = (n-1) (1 / R₁)

we look for the radius of curvature R₁

1 / R₁ = 1 / f (n-1)

R₁ = (n -1) f

With this expression we can find the radius of curvature of a concave-plane lens

10. How far does a transverse pulse travel in 1.23 ms on a string with a density of 5.47 × 10−3 kg/m under tension of 47.8 ?????

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: Tension = 47.8N, Δx = 11.5× $10^{-6}$ m.

Tension = 95.6N, Δx = 15.4× $10^{-5}$ m

Explanation: A speed of wave on a string under a tension force can be calculated as:

$|v| = \sqrt{\frac{F_{T}}{\mu} }$

$F_{T}$ is tension force (N)

μ is linear density (kg/m)

Determining velocity:

$|v| = \sqrt{\frac{47.8}{5.47.10^{-3}} }$

$|v| = \sqrt{0.00874 }$

$|v| =$ 0.0935 m/s

The displacement a pulse traveled in 1.23ms:

$\Delta x = |v|.t$

$\Delta x = 9.35.10^{-2}*1.23.10^{-3}$

Δx = 11.5× $10^{-6}$

With tension of 47.8N, a pulse will travel Δx = 11.5× $10^{-6}$ m.

Doubling Tension:

$|v| = \sqrt{\frac{2*47.8}{5.47.10^{-3}} }$

$|v| = \sqrt{2.0.00874 }$

$|v| = \sqrt{0.01568}$

|v| = 0.1252 m/s

Displacement for same time:

$\Delta x = |v|.t$

$\Delta x = 12.52.10^{-2}*1.23.10^{-3}$

$\Delta x =$ 15.4× $10^{-5}$

With doubled tension, it travels $\Delta x =$ 15.4× $10^{-5}$ m

Water flows from a large drainage pipe at a rate of 950 gal/min. What is this volume rate of flow in (a) m3/s , (b) liters/min,

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

$0.05997\ m^3/s$

$3596.1395\ L/min$

$2.11647\ ft^3/s$

Explanation:

$1\ gal/min=\dfrac{1}{264\times 60}\\\Rightarrow 950\ gal/min=950\times \dfrac{1}{264\times 60}\\\Rightarrow 950\ gal/min=0.05997\ m^3/s$

Volume rate of flow is $0.05997\ m^3/s$

$1\ gal/min=3.78541\ L/min\\\Rightarrow 950\ gal/min=950\times 3.78541=3596.1395\ L/min$

Volume rate of flow is $3596.1395\ L/min$

$1\ gal/min=\dfrac{1}{7.481\times 60}\\\Rightarrow 950\ gal/min=950\times \dfrac{1}{7.481\times 60}\\\Rightarrow 950\ gal/min=2.11647\ ft^3/s$

Volume rate of flow is $2.11647\ ft^3/s$

Which is denser?<br><br> The water in a swimming pool or a quarter (coin).

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The coin is denser than any of the liquids, and will sink through everything. The oil is the least dense liquid, so it will float on the water, and the syrup is the densest liquid, so it will sink below the water.
