Physics
1 answer:
timama [110]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: 1 dioptre of power of a lens is defined as the unit of measuring the power of optical lens Or curved mirror which is equal to the reciprocal of the focal length. The focal length is measured in the meter. 1 dioptre is equal to 1/m where m is the focal length. Basically dioptre is the SI unit of optical power of the lens.

This solid layer of the earth is made of mostly iron and nickel.
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer

Explanation:

Yes, it's true that the solid layer of the earth is known as the most dense part as it is made up of the heavy metals like iron and nickel. Inner part is the hotter part due to the high pressure and temperature. It has the temperature of about 5,200°C and the pressure of 3.6 million atm but still the iron and nickel are present there in the solid form as they withstand such high temperature and pressure values.

The initial and final velocities of two blocks experiencing constant acceleration are respectively −7.45 m/s and 14.9 m/s. (a) T
ikadub [295]

Answer:

a) a_{1}=3.7 m/s^{2}

b) a_{2}=3.68 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

a) The displacement of the first object is 22.5 m, so we can use the next equation:

v_{f}^{2}=v_{i}^{2}+2a\Delta x

a=\frac{v_{f}^{2}-v_{i}^{2}}{2x}

a=\frac{14.9^{2}-(-7.45)^{2}}{2*22.5}

a_{1}=3.7 m/s^{2}

positive acceleration.

b) Using the same equation we can find the second value of the acceleration:

a=\frac{v_{f}^{2}-v_{i}^{2}}{2x}

a=\frac{14.9^{2}-(-7.45)^{2}}{2*22.6}

a_{2}=3.68 m/s^{2}

positive acceleration.

I hope it helps you!

PLS ANSWER FAST WILL GIVE BRAINLEST!!!
Kipish [7]

Answer:

2 Newtons

Explanation:

F = ma

Therefore, your mass would be 1kg and your acceleration would be 2m/s/s

Plug the numbers into the equation:

(1kg)(2m/s/s)

which will equal

2 Newtons

A coin is placed on a large disk which rotates uniformly at a rate of 1 rot/s. The coefficient of friction between the coin and
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

r = 0.02 m

Explanation:

from the question we have :

speed = 1 rps = 1x 60 = 60 rpm

coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.1

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

maximum distance without falling off (r) = ?

to get how far from the center of the disk the coin can be placed without having to slip off we equate the formula for the centrifugal force with the frictional force on the turntable force

mv^2 / r =  m x g x μ

v^2 / r =  g x μ  .......equation 1

where

velocity (v) = angular speed (rads/seconds) x radius

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2π}{60} ) x rpm

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2 x π}{60} ) x 60 = 6.28 rads/ seconds

now

velocity = 6.28 x r = 6.28 r

now substituting the value of velocity into equation 1

v^2 / r =  g x μ

(6.28r)^2 / r = 9.8 x 0.1

39.5 x r = 0.98

r = 0.02 m

Friends Burt and Ernie stand at opposite ends of a uniform log that is floating in a lake. The log is 3.0 m long and has mass 20
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The distance the log has moved by the time Ernie reaches Bur is 1.33 m.

Explanation:

give information:

The log is 3.0 m long and has mass 20.0 kg.

Burt has mass 30.0 kg; Ernie has mass 40.0 kg

Ernie has mass 40.0 kg.

to find the distance, first, we have to calculate the center of mass

X = ∑ m x /∑m

   = (20 x (3/2)) + (30 x 0) + (40 x 3)/ (20+30+40)

   = 150/90

   = 5/3

when Ernie walk, the center of the mass is

X = (70 x 0) + (20 x (3/2))/(70 + 20)

  = 30/90

  = 1/3

the distance of log moved = 5/3 - 4/3 = 1.33 m
