What is a convex lens?

2 answers:

6 0

<em>The convex lens is a lens that converges rays of light that convey parallel to its principal axis (i.e. converges the incident rays towards the principal axis) which is relatively thick across the middle and thin at the lower and upper edges. The edges are curved outward rather than inward.</em>

A lens bound by two spherical surfaces bulging outwards and a single piece of glass that curves outward and converges the light incident on it are both convex lenses

Phantasy [73]

The question is incomplete. It comes with a set of answer choices.

These are the answer choices:

Alex observes it as 10 m/s, and his friend observes it as less than 10 m/s.

Alex observes it as less than 10 m/s, and his friend observes it as 10 m/s.

Both Alex and his friend observe it as 10 m/s.

Both Alex and his friend observe it as less than 10 m/s.

Answer: Both Alex and his friend observe it as 10 m/s.

Justification:

1) The speed is relative to the frame of reference.

2) It is said that the both Alex and his friend are standing still.

3) Then, the speed they both see is the same, 10 m/s, respect the Earth (where they are standing still).

Of course, Alex is watching the ball moving away and his friend is seing it approaching, but it is not relevant for the question, as it deals with the speed which is only about magnitude, not direction.

Q9. Man who received the most altercations for a theory which later on became a revolutionary theory influenced in many areas of modern science and technology.

Q10. Fire truck is coming towards you

Explanation:

Q9. Christian Doppler was born on 29th of November 1803 in Saltzburg. After studies in Linz and Vienna, he graduated in Mathematics. For many years, Doppler struggled to find work in academia, and for a time he worked as a bookkeeper at a factory. His academic career took him from Austria to Prague, where he became assistant at the University and later worked as professor in Prague. Back to Vienna, he was appointed as professor at the Polytechnic School and in 1850 as first director of the new Institute of Physics. While working at Vienna, his health broke down and moved Venice where he sought his eternal rest on March 17th, 1953.

During his lifetime, the man was quite controversial: a personality praised by some, but detested by others; and even as a scientist, he had a difficult time. He did publish papers on magnetism, electricity, optics and astronomy but, the discovery that allowed him to remain in history of science was the one he presented at Royal Bohemian Society of Science entitled "On the colored light of the double stars and certain other stars of the heavens" in 1842. He hypothesized that the pitch of the sound would change if the source was moving.

Doppler's ideas were initially received with a certain amount of skepticism so, in order to support his claims, he devised an experiment in 1845 with the help of colleague. He used two sets of trumpeters, one set stationary at a train station and one set moving on an open train car. Both sets of musicians had perfect pitch and held the same note. As the train passed the station, it was obvious that the frequency of the two notes didn't match, even though the musicians were playing same note. This proved his hypothesis.

Demonstrating that the Doppler effect also held true for frequency of ligh proved more difficult and was never successfully achieved before Doppler's demise. The first experiment that revealed a Doppler shift in starlight was carried out at the beginning of twentieth century. Since then Doppler effect was proved invaluable for astronomical observations.

For the most of the academic world, he is known as physicist; but one can equally find him on the list of mathematicians and astronomers too. This is proof for the exceptional broad spectrum of application of his main discovery.

Q10. When there is increase in frequency of the sound from source, then the source is moving towards you. Hence the fire truck is coming towards you

1) The gravitational force between Ellen and the moon is $1.56\cdot 10^{-3} N$

2) The two forces are equal, while the acceleration of the bus is smaller than the acceleration of the bicycle.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

$m_1, m_2$ are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

In this problem, we have:

$m_1 = 47 kg$ is the mass of Ellen

$m_2 = 7.35\cdot 10^{22} kg$ is the mass of the moon

$r=3.84\cdot 10^8 m$ is the distance between Ellen and the moon

Substituting, we find the gravitational force between Ellen and the moon:

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(47)(7.35\cdot 10^{22})}{(3.84\cdot 10^8)^2}=1.56\cdot 10^{-3} N$

We can analyze the forces acting in the collision between the bus and the bicycle by using Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"

Applied to our problem, this means that the force exerted by the bus on the bicycle during the collision (action force) is equal (and opposite) to the force exerted by the bicycle on the bus (reaction force).

Now let's analyze the accelerations of the two vehicles. We can find the acceleration of each vehicle by using Newton's second law:

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

where

a is the acceleration

F is the force exerted on the vehicle

m is the mass of the vehicle

As we said previously, the force F exerted on each of the two vehicles: so, the acceleration only depends on the mass. In particular, the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass: therefore, the larger the mass of the vehicle, the smaller the acceleration. This means that the acceleration of the bus is smaller than the acceleration of the bicycle.
