I would carry a 25 pound box up 5 flights, because it is lighter. You will wear out faster carrying a 50 pound box up 3 flights.

A thin double convex glass lens with an index of 1.56 while surrounded by air has a 10 cm focal length. If it is placed under wa

bearhunter [10]

Explanation:

Formula which holds true for a leans with radii $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ and index refraction n is given as follows.

$\frac{1}{f} = (n - 1) [\frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}]$

Since, the lens is immersed in liquid with index of refraction $n_{1}$ . Therefore, focal length obeys the following.

$\frac{1}{f_{1}} = \frac{n - n_{1}}{n_{1}} [\frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}]$

$\frac{1}{f(n - 1)} = [\frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}]$

and, $\frac{n_{1}}{f(n - n_{1})} = \frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}$

or, $f_{1} = \frac{fn_{1}(n - 1)}{(n - n_{1})}$

$f_{w} = \frac{10 \times 1.33 \times (1.56 - 1)}{(1.56 - 1.33)}$

= 32.4 cm

Using thin lens equation, we will find the focal length as follows.

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{s_{o}} + \frac{1}{s_{i}}$

Hence, image distance can be calculated as follows.

$\frac{1}{s_{i}} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{s_{o}} = \frac{s_{o} - f}{fs_{o}}$

$s_{i} = \frac{fs_{o}}{s_{o} - f}$

$s_{i} = \frac{32.4 \times 100}{100 - 32.4}$

= 47.9 cm

Therefore, we can conclude that the focal length of the lens in water is 47.9 cm.

Suppose a clay model of a koala bear has a mass of 0.200 kg and slides on ice at a speed of 0.750 m/s. It runs into another clay

kaheart [24]

Answer:

0.278 m/s

Explanation:

We can answer the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision.

So we can write:

$mu=(m+M)v$

where

m = 0.200 kg is the mass of the koala bear

u = 0.750 m/s is the initial velocity of the koala bear

M = 0.350 kg is the mass of the other clay model

v is their final combined velocity

Solving the equation for v, we get

$v=\frac{mu}{m+M}=\frac{(0.200)(0.750)}{0.200+0.350}=0.278 m/s$

A 1.5m wire carries a 7 A current when a potential difference of 87 V is applied. What is the resistance of the wire?

kramer

Answer:

Ohm's law states that I=V/R (Current=volts divided by resistance). Since we're looking for resistance, we'll rewrite it as R=V/I. Then just plug in the numbers; R=84/9, R= 9 1/3 or 28/3. The resistance of the wire is 9.33... or 9 1/3 ohm's, depending on how you wanna write it.

Hope it helped u if yes mark me BRAINLIEST!

Tysm!

I would appreciate it!

A net force of 3000 N is accelerating a 1200 kg elevator upward. If the elevator starts from rest, how long will it take to trav

alexdok [17]

F = net force acting on the elevator in upward direction = 3000 N

m = mass of the elevator = 1200 kg

a = acceleration of the elevator = ?

Acceleration of the elevator is given as

a = F/m

a = 3000/1200

a = 2.5 m/s²

v₀ = initial velocity of the elevator = 0 m/s

Y = displacement of the elevator = 15 m

t = time taken

Using the kinematics equation

Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

15 = (0) t + (0.5) (2.5) t²

t = 3.5 sec

Two hockey players have a total momentum of +200 kg x m/s before a collision (+ is to the right). After the collision, they move

Juliette [100K]

Total momentum after the collision: +200 kg m/s to the right

Explanation:

We can answer this question by using the law of conservation of momentum, which states that for an isolated system (=no external forces acting on the system), the total momentum is conserved.

Mathematically,

$p_i=p_f$

where

$p_i$ is the total momentum before the collision

$p_f$ is the total momentum after the collision

In this problem, the system consists of two hockey players. Before the collision, their total momentum is

$p_i = +200 kg m/s$ (to the right)

Therefore, according to the law of conservation of momentum, their total momentum after the collision must be the same:

$p_f = +200 kg m/s$

And given that the sign is +, the direction is still the same, therefore to the right.
