Answer:

19.1 secs

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate the velocity

= 17.4/47.6

= 0.37 m/s

Therefore the time taken for the person to reach the top can be calculated as follows

= 17.4/(0.37+0.541)

= 17.4 / 0.911

= 19.1 secs

Hence the time taken is 19.1 secs

Nadya [2.5K]

As per Newton's III law every action has equal and opposite reaction

So here we can say that

every body which apply force on other body must have a reaction force of same magnitude in opposite direction

So here if ball hits the ground by 50 N force then the ball must have a reaction force on itself with same magnitude and opposite direction

the magnitude of the force will be 50 N

and its direction is opposite to the force that ball apply on the floor

The resistance of 100 W bulb is less than resistance of 40 W bulb. Explain the reason.
vazorg [7]

Ok so we know that electric power is:

P=UI=I^2R

If we express resistance.

R=\dfrac{P}{I^2}

Now if you have 100W of power you will probably get a bigger resistance than with 40W of power.

However here it says that the resistance of 40W bulb is bigger than 100W bulb. Which means the statement is incorrect.

Hope this helps.

You place a 24-cm focal length convex lens at a distance of 50 cm in front of a concave lens with a focal length of -42 cm . The
Softa [21]

Answer:

distance is 139.2 cm

image is inverted and virtual

and 79.36 cm in front of 2nd lens

Explanation:

Given data

convex  focal length = 24 cm

distance = 50 cm

concave focal length = -42 cm

light bulb height = 2 cm

distance = 29 cm

to find out

Determine the distance and  orientation and image real or virtual

solution

we apply here lens formula for convex

1/f = 1/p + 1/q

here f = 24 and p = 29 so find q

1/24 = 1/29 + 1/q

q = 139.2 cm

so distance is 139.2 cm

and

lens formula for concave

f = - 42 and p = 50 - 139.2 = -89.2 cm so find q

1/f = 1/p + 1/q

- 1/42 = - 1/89.2 + 1/q

q  = −79.36 cm

so image is inverted and virtual

and 79.36 cm in front of 2nd lens
