A 5.75 mm high firefly sits on the axis of, and 11.3 cm in front of, the thin lens A, whose focal length is 5.77 cm . Behind len
weeeeeb [17]

Answer

given,

focal length of lens A = 5.77 cm

focal length of lens B= 27.9 cm

flies distance from mirror = 11.3 m

now,

Using lens formula

\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{p} + \dfrac{1}{q}

\dfrac{1}{5.77} = \dfrac{1}{11.3} + \dfrac{1}{q}

q =11.79 cm

image of lens A is object of lens B

distance of lens = 59.9 - 11.79 = 48.11

now, Again applying lens formula

\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{p} + \dfrac{1}{q'}

\dfrac{1}{27.9} = \dfrac{1}{48.11} + \dfrac{1}{q'}

q' =66.41 cm

hence, the image distance from the second lens is equal to q' =66.41 cm

When Kevin pulls his cotton shirt off his body, the electrons get transferred from the (shirt or body) to the (shirt or body) .
Masja [62]
<span>When Kevin pulls his cotton shirt off his body, the electrons get transferred from the shirt (in form of static charges i.e. electrons to the body. So, the shirt becomes positively charged and Kevin’s body becomes negatively charged.

As a result of charge transfer from the shirt to the body, we can hear a crackling sound. or if observed in dark, a sparkle can be seen.</span>

Use an example to describe the difference between tangential and centripetal acceleration
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Say you are holding a thread to the end of which is tied a stone. Now when you start whirling it around you will notice that two forces have to be applied simultaneously. One which pulls the thread inwards and the other which throws it sideways or tangentially.

Both these forces will generate their respective accelerations.

The one pointed inwards will generate centripetal or radial acceleration.

The one pointing sideways will generate tangential acceleratio

Explanation:

A major difference between tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration is their direction

Centripetal means “center seeking”. Centripetal acceleration is always directed inward.

Tangential acceleration is always directed tangent to the circle.

Tangential acceleration results from the change in magnitude of the tangential velocity of an

object. An object can move in a circle and not have any tangential acceleration. No tangential

acceleration simply means the angular acceleration of the object is zero and the object is moving

with a constant angular velocity

the gravitational force that earth exerts on the moon equals 2.03 x 10^20N. The moons mass is 7.35 x 10^22kg. What is the accele
Ghella [55]

The first time we read this, we think that we'll have to go look up a bunch of stuff about the gravitational constant, centripetal force, orbital mechanics, the Moon's period of revolution, and who knows whut owl !

But you know whut ?  The only thing we need is Newton's 2nd law:

F = m A

Divide each side by m :

Acceleration = Force / mass

Acceleration = (2.03 x 10²⁰ Newtons) / (7.35 x 10²² kg)

Acceleration = (2.03 x 10²⁰ / 7.35 x 10²² kg) (m/s²)

<em>Acceleration = 0.00276 m/s²</em>

A playground merry-go-round of radius r = 2.00 m has a moment of inertia = 250 ⋅ , and is rotating at 10.0 rev/min about a frict
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

330kgm^2

Explanation:

We are given that

Radius,r=2 m

Moment of inertia,I=250kgm^2

Angular velocity,\omega_1=10 rev/min

Mass of child,m=20 kg

We have to find the new moment of inertia of the merry go round.

New moment of inertia ,I'=mr^2+I

Using the formula

I'=20(2)^2+250

I'=80+250=330kgm^2

Hence, the new moment of inertia of the merry -go-round=330kgm^2
