Answer:

Option 3: -48 cm

Explanation:

We are given:

refractive index; n = 1.5

radius of curvature; r2 = 24 cm

Formula for the focal length is given as;

1/f = (n - 1) × [(1/r1) - (1/r2)]

As r1 tends to infinity, 1/r1 = 0

Thus,we now have;

1/f = (n - 1) × (-1/r2)

Plugging in the relevant values;

1/f = (1.5 - 1) × (-1/24)

1/f = -0.02083333333

f = -1/0.02083333333

f = -48 cm

Two strings with linear densities of 5 g/m are stretched over pulleys, adjusted to have vibrating lengths of 0.50 m, and attache
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

2.18 kg

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave in a stretched string f = n/2L√(T/μ) where n = harmonic number, L = length of string, T = tension = mg where m = mass of object on string and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and μ = linear density of string.

For string 1, its fundamental frequency f  is when n = 1. So,

f = 1/2L√(T/μ) =  1/2L√(mg/μ)

Now for string 1, L = 0.50 m, m = 20 kg and μ = 5 g/m = 0.005 kg/m

substituting the values of the variables into f, we have

f = 1/2L√(mg/μ)

f = 1/2 × 0.50 m√(20 kg × 9.8 m/s²/0.005 kg/m)

f = 1/1 m√(196 kgm/s²/0.005 kg/m)

f = 1/1 m√(39200 m²/s²)

f = 1/1 m × 197.99 m/s

f = 197.99 /s

f = 197.99 Hz

f ≅ 198 Hz

For string 2, at its third harmonic frequency f'  is when n = 3. So,

f' = 3/2L√(T/μ) =  3/2L√(mg/μ)

Now for string 2, L = 0.50 m, m = M kg and μ = 5 g/m = 0.005 kg/m

substituting the values of the variables into f, we have

f' = 3/2L√(Mg/μ)

f' = 3/2 × 0.50 m√(M × 9.8 m/s²/0.005 kg/m)

f' = 3/1 m√(M1960 m²/s²kg)

f' = 3/1 m√M√(1960 m²/s²kg)

f' = 3/1 m √M × 44.27 m/s√kg

f' = 132.81√M/s√kg

f' = 132.81√M Hz/√kg

Since the frequency of the beat heard is 2 Hz,

f - f' = 2 Hz

So, 198 Hz - 132.81√M Hz/√kg = 2 Hz

132.81√M Hz/√kg = 198 Hz - 2 Hz

132.81√M Hz/√kg = 196 Hz

√M Hz/√kg = 196 Hz/138.81 Hz

√M/√kg = 1.476

squaring both sides,

[√M/√kg] = (1.476)²

M/kg = 2.178

M = 2.178 kg

M ≅ 2.18 kg

Why are viruses hard to fight
ki77a [65]

Answer:Compared to other pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses are minuscule. And because they have none of the hallmarks of living things — a metabolism or the ability to reproduce on their own, for example — they are harder to target with drugs.
