To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the work theorem for which it is defined as the product of Force and distance. In turn, we will use the energy conservation theorem for which the applied work must be equivalent to the total kinetic energy on the body.

The work is defined as

W = Fd

Here,

F = Force

d = Displacement

Replacing with our values we have that

W = 75*0.2

W = 15J

Now by conservation of energy,

W = KE

W = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

15 = \frac{1}{2} (20*10^{-3}kg)(v^2)

Solving for v,

v = 10\sqrt{15}

v = 38.72 \approx 39

Therefore the correct answer is D.

How do your results from ray tracing compare to your results from using the thin-lens equation?
EastWind [94]

Answer:

20cm

Explanation:

A convex lens has a positive focal length and the object placed in front of it produce both virtual and real image <em>(image distance can be negative or positive depending on the nature of the image</em>).

According to the lens equation

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v} where;

f is the focal length  of the lens

u is the object distance

v is the image distance

If the magnification is - 0.6

mag = v/u = -0.5

v = -0.5u

since v = 10cm

10 = -0.5u

u = -10/0.5

u =-20 cm

Substitute u = -20cm ( due to negative magnification)and v = 10cm into the lens formula to get the focal length f

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{-20} + \frac{1}{10}\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{-20} + \frac{1}{10}\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{-1+2}{20} \\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{20} \\cross \ multiply\\f = 20\\f = 20 cm

Hence the focal length of the convex lens is 20cm

A force off 700 newtons is applied to a 600 kg bowling ball. What is the acceleration of the bowling ball once the force is appl
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

<h2>1.17 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{700}{600}  =  \frac{7}{6}  \\  = 1.1666666...

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.17 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

If the universe is infinite, then how come there are things disappearing from the horizon? I was at a point in this video (TRUE
True [87]

Answer:

The big rip theory

Explanation:

      I believe what you are referring to is the big rip theory, in which the universe expands faster than the speed of light Kurzgesagt refers to it as a "horizon" but in reality it's a little more complicated than that. Eventually the expansion of the universe will accelerate far beyond the speed of light creating space between molecules until eventually all matter is fleeting and the entire universe is an endlessly vast cosmic void with not but the occasion molecule left from a time when things weren't so lonely.
