Answer:

f =17.15\ cm

Explanation:

given,

refractive index of lens, n = 1.70

Radius of curvature of front surface. R₁ = 20 cm

Radius of curvature of the back surface, R₂ = 30 cm

focal length= ?

\dfrac{1}{f}=(n-1)(\dfrac{1}{R_1}-\dfrac{1}{R_2})

    R₁ = +20 cm

    R₂ = -30 cm

    n = 1.70

\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.70-1)(\dfrac{1}{20}-\dfrac{1}{-30})

\dfrac{1}{f}=0.70 \times 0.0833

f = \dfrac{1}{0.7 \times 0.0833}

f =17.15\ cm

the focal length of the lens is equal to 17.15 cm

Find the electric force acting on an alpha particle in a horizontal electric field of 600N/C
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
Since an alpha particle has 2 protons and no negative particles (electrons) to balance the net charge, its charge is
Q=2(1.6e-19)=3.2e-19C.
The force on a charged particle is F=QE so
(3.2e-19C)(600N/C)=1.92e-16N

estion: Why is it important to use vector quantities and not just scalar quantities to describe the motion of an object? Vector
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Vector quantities are important in the study of motion. Some examples of vector quantities include force, velocity, acceleration, displacement, and momentum. The difference between a scalar and vector is that a vector quantity has a direction and a magnitude, while a scalar has only a magnitude. Vector, in physics, a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. It is typically represented by an arrow whose direction is the same as that of the quantity and whose length is proportional to the quantity's magnitude. A quantity which does not depend on direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics, a magnitude and a direction. The resulting motion of the aircraft in terms of displacement, velocity, and acceleration are also vector quantities. A vector quantity is different to a scalar quantity because a quantity that has magnitude but no particular direction is described as scalar. A quantity that has magnitude and acts in a particular direction is described as vector.

The universal law of gravitation states that the force of attraction between two objects depends on which quantities?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer: The answer is the masses of the objects and the distance between them

Explanation: Gravity is affected by mass and distance between two objects becuase if and object is too far the force of gravity will not be strong. The larger the object, the stronger the force of gravity will be.
