A converging lens forms an image at 43 cm. A 9 cm tall object is placed in front of the lens at a distance of 90 cm.

Can a compound be separated by physical means?

Julli [10]

No, it is not possible.
A compound is a substance or material constituting of two or more elements that have been chemically combined together to form a new, different substance

Any elements that have been joined together chemically can only be separated back into their constituent elements by chemical means because the bonds holding them together can only be broken using chemical means.

A good example is sodium chloride, table salt. Poisonous chlorine gas and toxic sodium metal react together whereby sodium loses one electron which chlorine readily accepts and in the process an ionic bond is formed between the two resulting in a totally new, harmless compound , sodium chloride.

Only through electrolysis can sodium chloride be separated back into sodium and chlorine gas. No physical means can be used to do that.

A typical wall outlet voltage in the United States is 120 volts. Personal MP3 players require much smaller voltages, typically 4

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Number of turns on the secondary coil of the adapter transformer is 10.

Explanation:

For a transformer,

$\frac{V_{s} }{V_{p} } = \frac{N_{s} }{N_{p} }$

where $V_{s}$ is the voltage induced in the secondary coil

$V_{p}$ is the voltage in the primary coil

$N_{s}$ is the number of turns of secondary coil

$N_{p}$ is the number of turns of primary coil

From the given question,

$\frac{487*10^{-3} }{120}$ = $\frac{N_{s} }{2464}$

⇒ $N_{s}$ = $\frac{2462*487*10^{-3} }{120}$

= 9.999733

∴ $N_{s}$ = 10 turns

Is there any machine that is 100% efficient? why?why not

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

No, it's not there.

Explanation:

For a machine to be 100% efficient, it has to be with an output which is equal to its input. But machines have an out put less than an input, hence efficiency below 100%.

A bird takes off from the tree and after 5 s is flying at a speed of 10 m/s. Calculate

Volgvan

Answer:

10miles/second

Explanation:

Change in velocity of the bird is expressed as the difference between the final velocity and initial velocity of the body.

Change in velocity = Final velocity - initial velocity

Since the bird takes off from the tree, the initial velocity of the bird = 0miles/sec

Final velocity = 10miles/secs

Change in velocity = 10-0

Change in velocity = 10miles/second

A kite is 100m above the ground. if there are 200m of string out what is the angle between the string and the horizontal? (assum

jeka57 [31]

Answer : The angle between the string and the horizontal is 30 degrees

Explanation: Imagine this a a triangle where the length of the string (200m) is the hypotenuse and the height of the kite is the opposite side (100m) .

Let the angle between the string and the horizontal be theta.

Now sin (Theta) = opposite side/hypotenuse

= 100/200 = 1/2

Therefore Theta = Sin ⁻¹ ( 1/2 )

Theta = 30 degrees
