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

(a) Calculate the force (in N) needed to bring a 1100 kg car to rest from a speed of 85.0 km/h in a distance of 125 m (a fairly

nasty-shy [4]

(a) -2451 N

We can start by calculating the acceleration of the car. We have:

$u=85.0 km/h = 23.6 m/s$ is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity of the car

d = 125 m is the stopping distance

So we can use the following equation

$v^2 - u^2 = 2ad$

To find the acceleration of the car, a:

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{0-(23.6 m/s)^2}{2(125 m)}=-2.23 m/s^2$

Now we can use Newton's second Law:

F = ma

where m = 1100 kg to find the force exerted on the car in order to stop it; we find:

$F=(1100 kg)(-2.23 m/s^2)=-2451 N$

and the negative sign means the force is in the opposite direction to the motion of the car.

(b) $-1.53\cdot 10^5 N$

We can use again the equation

$v^2 - u^2 = 2ad$

To find the acceleration of the car. This time we have

$u=85.0 km/h = 23.6 m/s$ is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity of the car

d = 2.0 m is the stopping distance

Substituting and solving for a,

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{0-(23.6 m/s)^2}{2(2 m)}=-139.2 m/s^2$

So now we can find the force exerted on the car by using again Newton's second law:

$F=ma=(1100 kg)(-139.2 m/s^2)=-1.53\cdot 10^5 N$

As we can see, the force is much stronger than the force exerted in part a).

Calculate the induced electric field (in V/m) in a 40-turn coil with a diameter of 18 cm that is placed in a spatially uniform m

kozerog [31]

Answer:

ε = 6.617 V

Explanation:

We are given;

Number of turns; N = 40 turns

Diameter;D = 18cm = 0.18m

magnetic field; B = 0.65 T

Time;t = 0.1 s

The formula for the induced electric field(E.M.F) is given by;

ε = |-NAB/t|

A is area

ε is induced electric field

While N,B and t remain as earlier described.

Area = π(d²/4) = π(0.18²/4) = 0.02545

Thus;

ε = |-40 × 0.02545 × 0.65/0.1|

ε = 6.617 V

(we ignore the negative sign because we have to take the absolute value)

What figure represents a longitudinal figure

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The wavelength can always be determined by measuring the distance between any two corresponding points on adjacent waves. In the case of a longitudinal wave, a wavelength measurement is made by measuring the distance from a compression to the next compression or from a rarefaction to the next rarefaction.

Check all that are true about waterfalls

Lerok [7]

Waterfalls are created when a river flows following a descending rapid slope. The waterfall, then, flows from the source (where it starts) to the mouth (where it ends).
Waterfalls are created when the erosion of the rocks at the bottom of the slope is more powerful than the erosion of the rocks on the top.
After many years the water is able to erode the rocks on the top as well, and the waterfall slowly disappears.

Therefore the options that apply are:
b) waterfalls move towards their mouth;
c) the top or cap rock is resistant to erosion;
<span>f) waterfalls indicate a youthful river </span>
