Physics

The object that a satellite revolves around is the <em>central body</em> of the system. <em>(C)</em>

For example:

-- The central body of the solar system is the Sun.

-- The central body for TV satellites, GPS satellites, weather satellites, and the International Space Station is the Earth.

-- The central body for Phobos and Deimos is Mars.

This should be a pretty easy question to answer by elimination, when you notice that "Orbit", "Period", and "Rotation" are not "Bodies".

You throw a small rock straight up from the edge of a highway bridge that crosses a river. the rock passes you on its way down,
maw [93]
V^2=u^2 +2aS
U is found first by considering that first 8 secs and using v=u+at. {different v and u though}

V=-u+gt.
Magnitude of u = magnitude of v if there is no resistance ( because the conservation of energy says the k. E. must be the same when it passes you as when it left your hand).... up is negative here, down is positive.
V+v=gt
2v= g x 8
V=4xg.= the initial velocity for the next calculation
V^2=(4g)^2+(2xgx21)

So v can be calculated.

1. The illuminance on a surface is 6 lux and the surface is 4 meters from the light source. What is the intensity of the source?
Crank

<u>Answer</u>

1) A. 96 Candelas

2) A. Both of these types of lenses have the ability to produce upright images.

3) C. 5 meters


<u>Explanation</u>

Q1

The formula for calculation the luminous intensity is;

Luminous intensity = illuminance × square radius

Lv = Ev × r²

= 6 × 4²

= 6 × 16

= 96 Candelabra

Q2

For converging lenses, an upright image is formed when the object is between the lens and the principal focus while a diverging lens always forms and upright image.

A. Both of these types of lenses have the ability to produce upright images.

Q3

Luminous intensity = illuminance × square radius

square radius = Luminous intensity/ illuminance

r² = 100/4

= 25

r = √25

= 5 m

In which mechanical test is a specimen deformed with a gradually increasing load that is applied uniaxially along the long axis
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Compression Test

Explanation:

The Specimen is undergoing a compression test. It is similar to tensile test with the difference that the force is compressive and applied along the direction of stress. Both Tensile and compression tests are performed on Universal Testing machine. Compression test is done to determine the product's reaction when it is compressed, squashed and crushed.
