The objective lens in a DVD player must move quickly to keep the laser beam focused on the disc's reflective layer. Why must thi

s lens have a very small mass?
Physics

Zinaida [17]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The small mass of lens in a DVD player accounts for small inertia of the lens. Hence, even on application of force of small magnitude, the lens is rapidly accelerated. Moreover, the small mass of lens also accounts for lower resistance to change in its motion and therefore, again can be rapidly accelerated back and forth.

A dinner plate falls vertically to the floor and breaks up into three pieces, which slide horizontally along the floor. Immediat
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

There will be conservation of momentum along horizontal plane because no force acts along horizontal plane.

momentum of first piece = .320 kg x 2 m/s

= 0.64 kg m/s along x -axis.

momentum of second piece = .355 kg x 1.5 m/s

= 0.5325 kg m/s along y- axis .

Let the velocity of third piece be v and it is making angle of θ with x -axis .

Horizontal component of its velocity = .100 kg x v cosθ = .1 v cosθ

vertical  component of its velocity = .100 kg x v sinθ = .1 v sinθ

For making total momentum in the plane zero

.1 v cosθ = 0.64 kg m/s

.1 v sinθ = 0.5325 kg m/s

Dividing

Tanθ = .5325 / .64 = .83

θ = 40⁰.

The angle will be actually 180 + 40 = 220 ⁰ from positive x -axis.

If two arm wrestlers exert a force on each other’s hands, and the hands don’t move, the forces must be *
jeyben [28]
Balanced. They’re equally as strong so as their arm wrestling, neither of the men’s hands go down. Because they’re equally/balanced as strong.

Why does Alpha Centauri appear to be yellow-white?
viktelen [127]
Actually, the real reason it appears yellow-white is because of the temperature of the star. the stars that are hotter tend to be more blue and the stars that aren’t as hot tend to be more red/orange/yellow.
