A smoke detector is an electronic fire-protection device that automatically senses the presence of smoke as a key indicator of f

ire and creates a loud sound as a warning. In 3-5 sentences, describe what is happening inside a photoelectric smoke detector as soon as smoke enters it

Answer:

Photoelectric-type alarms aim a light source into a sensing chamber at an angle away from the sensor. Smoke enters the chamber, reflecting light onto the light sensor; triggering the alarm.

What type of boundary is shown in the diagram?
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:Divergent boundaries -- where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other.

Convergent boundaries -- where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.

Transform boundaries -- where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.

An Object is located 16 cm in front of a converging lens with focal length 12 cm. To the right of the converging lens, separated
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

image is located at 22.5cm to the left of diverging lens.

Explanation:

In this question we have given,

object distance from converging lens,u=-16cm

focal length of converging lens,f_{c}=12cm

focal length of diverging lens,f_{d}=-10cm

distance between converging and diverging lens=20cm

we have to find location of final image,v=?

Here we will first find the location of image formed by converging lens

we know that u, v and f_{c} are related by following formula

\frac{1}{f_{c}} =\frac{1}{v}- \frac{1}{u}.............(1)

put values of f_{c} and u in equation (1)

we got,

\frac{1}{12} =\frac{1}{v}- \frac{1}{-16}

\frac{1}{12}-\frac{1}{16} =\frac{1}{v}

\frac{16-12}{16\times 12} =\frac{1}{v}

or

v=\frac{16\times 12}{16-12}\\ v=48cm

The image is located 48 cm to the right of the converging lens. This image is real and inverted.

This  image will object for the diverging lens which is now located (48-20=18) cm at the right hand side of diverging lens

it means,

u=18cm

we know that u, v and f_{d} are related by following formula

\frac{1}{f_{d}} =\frac{1}{v}- \frac{1}{u}.............(2)

put values of f_{d} and u in equation (2)

\frac{1}{-10} =\frac{1}{v}- \frac{1}{18}

\frac{1}{-10}+\frac{1}{18} =\frac{1}{v}

\frac{-18+10}{10\times 18} =\frac{1}{v}

or

v=\frac{10\times 18}{10-18}\\ v=-22.5cm

It means image is located at 22.5cm to the left of diverging lens.

A golf ball is released from rest from the top of a very tall building. Choose a coordinate system whose origin is at the starti
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Velocity of the ball after 3.04 (s) = 29.79 (m/s)

Explanation:

From the free fall movement we have the following formulas: Vf^{2} = Vo^{2} - 2gh and h=Vo*t - \frac{g*t^{2} }{2}, First we need to find the height to time iqual to 3.04 s using the formula: h=Vo*t - \frac{g*t^{2} }{2} and remember that golf ball was released from the rest (Vo= 0 (m/s)) so h= (0 (m/s))*(3.04 (s)) - \frac{9.8 (m/s^2)*(3.04 (s))^{2} }{2}, we get: h = -45.28 (m) with the height that we have got, now the velocity of the ball is calculate using Vf^{2} = Vo^{2} - 2gh solving for Vf, we get: Vf = \sqrt{Vo^{2}-2*g*h } replacing the values given Vf = \sqrt{(0 m/s)^{2}-2*(9.8 m/s^2)*(-45.28 m) }, so we get: Vf = 29.79 (m/s).

Which of the following is inversely proportional to the gravitational force between two masses?
Mrrafil [7]
It is D, the distance between each object squared. We get this from solving for the force of gravity, which is

F = G((m1*m2)/(r^2)).

Here, you can see that the masses of the two objects are divided by their total distance apart from each other (r) squared.
