<em>"A concave lens is thinner at the center than it is at the edges."</em>

If this isn't on the list of choices, that's tough. We can't help you choose the best one if we don't know what any of them is.

6) If a mass of an object is decreased to half and acting force is reduced by quarter the acceleration of its motion

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Decreases to half.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial mass (m₁) = m

Initial force (F₁) = F

Initial acceleration (a₁) =?

Final mass (m₂) = ½m

Final force (F₂) = ¼F

Final acceleration (a₂) =?

Next, we shall determine a₁. This can be obtained as follow:

F₁ = m₁a₁

F = ma₁

Divide both side by m

a₁ = F / m

Next, we shall determine a₂.

F₂ = m₂a₂

¼F = ½ma₂

2F = 4ma₂

Divide both side by 4m

a₂ = 2F / 4m

a₂ = F / 2m

Finally, we shall determine the ratio of a₂ to a₁. This can be obtained as follow:

a₁ = F / m

a₂ = F / 2m

a₂ : a₁ = a₂ / a₁

a₂ / a₁ = F/2m ÷ F/m

a₂ / a₁ = F/2m × m/F

a₂ / a₁ = ½

Cross multiply

a₂ = ½a₁

From the illustrations made above, the acceleration of the car will decrease to half the original acceleration

If a pebble is being transported in a stream by rolling, how does the velocity of it compare to the velocity of the stream?

AleksandrR [38]

Streams carry sediment, like pebbles, in their flows. The pebbles can be in a variety of locations in the flow, depending on it's size, the balance between the upwards velocity on the pebble (drag and lift forces), and it's settling velocity.

Describe a life cycle of a star

vagabundo [1.1K]

Planetary Nebula are the outer layers of a star that are lost when the star changes from a red giant to a white dwarf. A star is a luminous globe of gas producing its own heat and light by nuclear reactions (nuclear fusion). They are born from nebulae and consist mostly of hydrogen and helium gas. Is this what you needed?

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE 20 POINTS!!!!

Aliun [14]

A). very large
B). very small
These are both wishy-washy words ... words that mean different things
to different people, and may even mean different things to the same person
at different times.
Even if everybody agreed on the meaning of these words, we wouldn't
have any idea which one may apply to the rover, because there's nothing
in the picture that gives any size reference ! We don't know from the picture
whether this thing is the size of a school book or a school bus. Or somewhere
in between.

C). very mathematical
What in the world does this mean ? ?
I don't see a single number or math symbol anywhere in the drawing.
I don't think this is the correct choice.

D). very complex
In the drawing, there are thirteen different labels of things,
and eight of them have such long names that only their initials
are shown.
This is one complicated combination of many different machines.
I think this is the best choice of description.

A commuter train passes a passenger platform at a constant speed of 40.4 m/s. The train horn is sounded at its characteristic fr

mihalych1998 [28]

(a) -83.6 Hz

Due to the Doppler effect, the frequency of the sound of the train horn appears shifted to the observer at rest, according to the formula:

$f' = (\frac{v}{v\pm v_s})f$

where

f' is the apparent frequency

v = 343 m/s is the speed of sound

$v_s$ is the velocity of the source of the sound (positive if the source is moving away from the observer, negative if it is moving towards the observer)
