Answer:

24,187.04 J ≈ 24,200 J

Explanation:

mass (m) = 544 kg

initial speed (u) = 6.75 m/s

final speed (v) = 15.2 m/s

change in height (Δh) = -14 m (negative sign is because there is a decrease in height )

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

How much work was done on the raft by non conservative forces?

work done = change in energy of the system = change in kinetic energy + change in potential energy

work done = (0.5m(v^{2} -u^{2} )) + (mgΔh)

work done = (0.5x544x(15.2^{2} -6.75^{2} )) + (544 x 9.8 x (-14))

work done = 50449.76 - 74,636.8

work done = 24,187.04 J ≈ 24,200 J

Two positive charges of same magnitude are separated by some distance if we bring a unit positive charge from one charge to anot
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Increases.

Explanation:

The electric potential increases when the two positive charges of same magnitude bring close to one charge to another because there is repulsive force between them due to same charge and when the two opposite charges move away from each other, the potential energy decreases. When two opposite charges are brought closer together, electric potential energy decreases while on the other hand, when we move opposite charges apart from each other than the work done against the attractive force that leads to an increase in electric potential energy.

The objective lens of a microscope has a focal length of 5.5mm. Part A What eyepiece focal length will give the microscope an ov
son4ous [18]

Complete Question

The distance between the objective and eyepiece lenses in a microscope is 19 cm . The objective lens has a focal length of 5.5 mm .

What eyepiece focal length will give the microscope an overall angular magnification of 300?

Answer:

The  eyepiece focal length is  f_e  = 0.027 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The focal length is  f_o =  5.5 \ mm =  -0.0055 \ m

This negative sign shows the the microscope is diverging light

     The  angular magnification is m = 300

     The  distance between the objective and the eyepieces lenses is  Z =  19 \ cm  = 0.19 \ m

Generally the magnification is mathematically represented as

        m  =  [\frac{Z - f_e }{f_e}] [\frac{0.25}{f_0} ]

Where f_e is the eyepiece focal length of the microscope

  Now  making f_e the subject  of the formula

         f_e  = \frac{Z}{1 - [\frac{M  *  f_o }{0.25}] }

substituting values

        f_e  = \frac{ 0.19 }{1 - [\frac{300  *  -0.0055 }{0.25}] }

         f_e  = 0.027 \ m
