Answer:

b. the forces of attraction among them limit their motion.

Explanation:

In solids, the particles are tightly packed. The solid has fixed shape and volume.There is strong inter-particle force of attraction which prevents the motion of particles in solids. Thus, the particles in solids can vibrate about their fixed position. Liquids have fixed volume but not shape. Gases don't have fixed shape and volume. The particles of liquid do not spread out like gases. This is because of the inter particle attraction which prevents them from moving far away. In gases, the inter-particle distance is large and thus, particles have weak force of attraction.

Explanation:

Power of lens = +1.75 diopters

Focal length of lens

$f=\frac{100}{1.75}=\frac{400}{7}$

This is a convex lens as focal the diopter given is positive which makes the focal length positive. Image distance will be negative.

v = -25

$\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{-25}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{\frac{400}{7}}\\\Rightarrow -\frac{1}{u}=\frac{7}{400}+\frac{1}{25}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{u}=-\frac{7}{400}-\frac{1}{25}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{u}=-0.0575\\\Rightarrow u=-17.4\ cm$

∴ The new near point is 17.4 cm

Hey JayDilla, I get 1/3. Here's how:
Kinetic energy due to linear motion is:
$E_{linear}= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where
$v=r \omega$
giving
$E_{linear}= \frac{1}{2}mr^2 \omega ^2$

The rotational part requires the moment of inertia of a solid cylinder
$I_{cyl} = \frac{1}{2}mr^2$
Then the rotational kinetic energy is
$E_{rot}= \frac{1}{2}I \omega ^2= \frac{1}{4}mr^2 \omega ^2$
Adding the two types of energy and factoring out common terms gives
$\frac{1}{2}mr^2 \omega ^2(1+ \frac{1}{2})$
Here the "1" in the parenthesis is due to linear motion and the "1/2" is due to the rotational part. Since this gives a total of 3/2 altogether, and the rotational part is due to a third of this (1/2), I say it's 1/3.

A woman is standing in the ocean, and she notices that after a wave crest passes, five more crests pass in a time of 54.0 s. The

timama [110]

Answer:

a) f=0.1 Hz ; b) T=10s

c)λ= 36m

d)v=3.6m/s

e)amplitude, cannot be determined

Explanation:

Complete question is:

Determine, if possible, the wave's (a) frequency, (b) period, (c) wavelength, (d) speed, and (e) amplitude.

Given:

number of wave crests 'n'= 5

pass in a time't' 54.0s

distance between two successive crests 'd'= 36m

a) Frequency of the waves 'f' can be determined by dividing number of wave crests with time, so we have

f=n/t

f= 5/ 54 => 0.1Hz

b)The time period of wave 'T' is the reciprocal of the frequency

therefore,

T=1/f

T=1/0.1

T=10 sec.

c)wavelength'λ' is the distance between two successive crests i.e 36m

Therefore, λ= 36m

d) speed of the wave 'v' can be determined by the product of frequency and wavelength

v= fλ => 0.1 x 36

v=3.6m/s

e) For amplitude, no data is given in this question. So, it cannot be determined.
