Physics

Roman55 [17]2 years ago

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

What are the<br>2 factors that<br>increase the<br>electric force<br>between<br>objects?​
harkovskaia [24]

The two factors that affect the electric force are the charges and the separation between the objects

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two objects is given by Coulomb's law:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where:

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the charges of the two objects

r is the separation between the two objects

Looking at the equation, we see that the electric force between objects depends on two factors:

  • The charges of the objects: the force is directly proportional to the product of the two charges, therefore the greater the charges, the stronger the force
  • The distance between the two objects: the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, therefore the smaller the distance between the objects, the stronger the force

What does displacement describe?
Katarina [22]
<span>A vector which implies that an object has been moved or has changed its position is called displacement. Displacement is usually associated with length and direction of an imaginary straight point. It is the shortest distance from the initial point to the final point of final position (P). Displacement can also be described as the length between the final and initial point on the shortest path. It means an overall change in direction  of the object or point of a body.</span>

A sled slides down a hill with friction between the sled and hill but negligible alr resistance. Which of the following must be
Andreyy89

Answer:

A) The sum of the kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energy changes by an amount equal to the energy dissipated by friction,

Explanation:

  • The kinetic energy is the energy that the object has and is defied by the work that is needed to accelerate the body.
  • The gravitational potential is a mechanism by which an equal amount of energy is being transferred per unit mass that is needed for the object to move from the specific location.
  • Hence when the sled moves down the hill with the force of gravity it has negligible resistance as an equal amount of energy is dissipated.

How does the mass of an object affect the outcome when an unbalanced force acts on it?
Verdich [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of acceleration is reduced.

Explanation:

Force is defined as push or pull

The force is said to be<em> balance force  </em>if the force are equal in size but opposite in direction. ie the object does not move or move with constant speed.

The force are to be<em> unbalanced force </em>if the force cause change in motion. ie the object has force greater than zero and has acceleration.

According to <em>Newton second law of motion </em>, acceleration depends on force acting on the object and mass of object.

     F=ma

     a=\frac{F}{m}

When unbalanced force act on the mass of object it reduces magnitude of acceleration without changing the direction.
