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

How much force is needed to accelerate a 68 kilogram-skier at a rate of 1.2 m/sec^2?
DiKsa [7]
<span>Answer: Force = 81.6 N

Explanation:
According to Newton's Second law:
F = ma --- (1)

Where F = Force = ?
m = Mass = 68 kg
a = Acceleration = 1.2 m/s^2

Plug in the values in (1):
(1) => F = 68 * 1.2
F = 81.6 N (The force needed to accelerate the skier at a rate of 1.2 m/s^2)</span>

The latent heat of fusion of alcohol is 25 kcal/kg and its melting point is -114 o C. It has a specific heat of 0.60 in its liqu
UNO [17]

Answer:

=170kcal

Explanation:

We first calculate the amount of energy required to melt the alcohol using the formula: MLf, where Lf is the latent heat of fussion

We then calculate amount of heat required to raise the temperature of liquid alcohol to -14° C using MC∅.  We then add the two.

Thus ΔH=MLf+MC∅

ΔH=2kg×25kcal/kg+ 2kg×(0.6kcal/kg.K×(-14-⁻114)

=50kcal+120kcal

=170kcal
