Physics
1 answer:
natta225 [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

B. A well-tested explanation for a widely accepted hypothesis

Explanation:

This is true about a scientific theory going by the fact of it being a well tested explanation. For example, in one of the Newtons law of motion which he stated to be<em> "To every action, there is equal and opposite reaction", </em><em>the hypothesis has been known till he was able to offer a well tested explanations with calculations showing that, it was actually true.</em>

How much is done when moving a box 25 m with a net force of 30 N?
mariarad [96]

Answer:

W = 750 [J]

Explanation:

The question should be related to work, work in physics is defined as the product of force by distance. In this way, we can use the following equation.

W=F*d

where:

F = force = 30 [N]

d = distance = 25 [m]

W = work [J]

Now replacing:

W=30*25\\W=750 [J]

The lens-makers’ equation applies to a lens immersed in a liquid if n in the equation is replaced by n2/n1. Here n2 refers to th
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

a

The focal length of the lens in water is  f_{water} = 262.68 cm

b

The focal length of the mirror in water is  f =79.0cm

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The index of refraction of the lens material = n_2

    The index of refraction of the medium surrounding the lens = n_1

 

The lens maker's formula is mathematically represented as

            \frac{1}{f} = (n -1) [\frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2}  ]

Where f is the focal length

            n is the index of refraction

            R_1 and R_2 are the radius of curvature of sphere 1 and 2 of the lens

From the question When the lens in air  we have  

           \frac{1}{f_{air}} = (n-1) [\frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2}  ]

    When immersed in liquid the formula becomes

          \frac{1}{f_{water}} = [\frac{n_2}{n_1} - 1 ] [\frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2}  ]

The ratio of the focal length of the the two medium is mathematically evaluated as

           \frac{f_water}{f_{air}} = \frac{n_2 -1}{[\frac{n_2}{n_1} - 1] }

From the question

      f_{air }= 79.0 cm

       n_2 = 1.55

and the refractive index of water(material surrounding the lens) has a constant value of  n_1 = 1.33

         \frac{f_{water}}{79}  = \frac{1.55- 1}{\frac{1.55}{1.44}  -1}

           f_{water} = 262.68 cm

b

The focal length of a mirror is dependent on the concept of reflection which is not affected by medium around it.

1. Have you ever tried to undergo an X- ray to test on youur body? What can you see in the fiom after the examination? Why is th
liraira [26]

Answer:

1) λ < 2d,  2)  nfrared imaging technique, 3) each color there is a different index of refraction

Explanation:

We are going to answer the three questions

1) When x-rays pass through matter in order to be dispersed, their wavelength must be of the order of the length of separation in the atoms and molecules of the body, in solid bones this length is similar and they scatter and reflect the x-rays therefore they can be observed, the fat and the soft tissue have a much greater separation therefore the x-rays cannot be reflected and consequently it is not observable by this technique.

2) At airports they use the infrared imaging technique, where the image is taken for the infrared wavelength, which is the heat part of the electromagnetic spectrum; consequently, when the image is viewed, the hottest areas appear brighter and, since when a person has a virus, his temperature rises, his temperature rises, it is possible to observe people with a higher temperature.

3) when white light hits a prism it is refracted with the equation

            n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where the incidence of refraction depends on the wavelength, therefore for each color there is a different index of refraction and consequently the light is separated in its different colors.
