Answer:

Image distance of apple=-6.7 cm

Magnification of apple=0.33

Explanation:

We are given that an apple is placed 20.cm in front of a diverging lens.

Object distance=u=-20 cm

Focal length=f=-10 cm

Because focal length of diverging lens is negative.

We have to find the image distance and magnification of the apple.

Lens formula

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}

Substitute the values then we get

-\frac{1}{10}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{20}

\frac{1}{v}=-\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{20}

\frac{1}{v}=\frac{-2-1}{20}=-\frac{3}{20}

v=-\frac{20}{3}=-6.7 cm

Image distance of apple=-6.7 cm

Magnification=m=\frac{v}{u}=\frac{-\frac{20}{3}}{-20}

Magnification of apple=\frac{1}{3}=0.33

Hence, the magnification of apple=0.33

a shopper pushes a cart 40.0m south down one aisle and then turns 90.0 degrees and moves 15.0m. He then makes another 90.0 degre
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The displacement is the distnce of the shopper from the starting point.

Sum of movement along the vertical = 40-20 = 20m

Movement along the horizontal (x direction) = 15.0m

Displacement will be gotten using the pythagoras theorem.

d = √20²+ 15²

d = √400+225

d = √625

d = 25.0m

Hence the shoppers total displacement is 25.0m

A block with a mass of 8.7 kg is dropped from rest from a height of 8.7 m, and remains at rest after hitting the ground. 1)If we
Harlamova29_29 [7]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to gravitational potential energy.

This can be defined as the product between mass, gravity and body height.

Mathematically it can be expressed as

\Delta P = mgh

\Delta P = (8.7)(9.8)(3)

\Delta P = 255.78J

Therefore the change in the internal energy of the system is 255.78

Anuta_ua [19.1K]
Energy = mc (delta T) where m is the mass in kg, c is the specific heat capacity, and delta T is the change in temperature.

450 = (45x10^-3)c (78-22)

450 = (0.045)c (56)

c = 178.57 J/kgK

Answer:

D. location

Explanation:

The gravitational field strength of Earth is determined by the virtue of the location within the Earth's gravitational field.

That's why all objects regardless of their mass, shape, and size free fall towards the Earth with an acceleration equal to the acceleration at that location in the absence of air resistance.

According to the gravitational force between two bodies, the force experienced by one body due to the other is independent of its own mass.

The gravitational force is given by equation

                                  F =  GMm/r²

If F is the force acting on the smaller body of mass 'm', then

                                 F = ma

Therefore, the equation becomes,

                                ma = GMm/r²

                                   a = GM/r²

The value of 'a' changes with respect to the value of 'r' such that if 'r' is the radius of the Earth, then the acceleration at a height 'h' from Earth surface is given by

                                 a = GM/(r+h)²

Here it is clear that the acceleration at any point is only the inherent property of the Earth itself.

The gravitational field strength of Earth is determined by the virtue of the location within the Earth's gravitational field.
