The combined focal length of two thin lens is 24 cm and the focal length of one converging lens is 8

Physics

Answer: f = -12 cm

Explanation: <u>Combined</u> <u>lenses</u> is an array of  simple lenses with a common axis. The combination is useful for correction of optical aberrations which cannot be corrected by simple lenses.

When two lenses are in contact and are thin, focal lengths are related as:

\frac{1}{F} =\frac{1}{f_{1}} +\frac{1}{f_{2}}

If there is a distance between the lenses, the focal length will be:

\frac{1}{F} =\frac{1}{f_{1}} +\frac{1}{f_{2}} -\frac{d}{f_{1}f_{2}}

Since the lenses in the question above are thin and in contact, the focal length of one of them will be:

\frac{1}{F} =\frac{1}{f_{1}} +\frac{1}{f_{2}}

\frac{1}{f_{2}} =\frac{1}{f_{1}} -\frac{1}{F}

\frac{1}{f_{2}} =\frac{1}{8} -\frac{1}{24}

\frac{1}{f_{2}} =\frac{-2}{24}

f_{2}= -12

The focal length of the other lens is -12 cm, with the negative sign meaning it's a converging lens.

How much voltage (in terms of the power source voltage bV) will the capacitor have when it has started at zero volts potential d
Archy [21]

Answer:

The voltage is   V =   0.993V_b

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The time that has passed is  t = \frac{\tau}{2}

 Here \tau is know as the time constant

    The voltage of the  power source is   V_b

Generally the voltage equation for charging a capacitor is mathematically represented as

       V =  V_b  [1 - e^{- \frac{t}{\tau} }]

=>   V =  V_b  [1 - e^{- \frac{\frac{\tau}{2}}{\tau} }]

=>   V =  V_b  [1 - e^{- \frac{\tau}{2\tau} }]

=>   V =  V_b  [1 - e^{- \frac{1}{2} }]

=>   V =   0.993V_b

Why is the motion of an athlete moving along the circular path with Constant speed considered to be an accelerated motion?
Strike441 [17]

The speed is changing its direction all the time. There is an acceleration which changes the direction of the speed – that is called centripetal acceleration. Only uniform linear motions are considered to have no acceleration.

This is the general formula for acceleration

a = dv/dt

When calculating dv, you should keep in mind the change in the velocity vector’s direction. You can easily see in a graph that with dt tending to 0 (so the length of the arc covered is also tending to 0), the difference between vectors Vf and V0 has a direction which is perpendicular to velocity (the shorter the arc, the closest the angle is to 90 degrees).

There is a formula (which can be deducted from the previous formula) which allows you to calculate the acceleration:

a = v^2/r

Let’s talk about the units:

v is in m/s

r is in m

so v^2/r

is in (m/s)^2/m = (m^2/s^2)/m = m/s^2

which is the same unit as dv/dt:

dv/dt = (m/s)/s= m/s^2

A -0.06 charge that moves downward is in a uniform electric field with a strengthened of 200 N/C. What is the magnitude and dire
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force is 12 N Upwards

Explanation:

The force on a positive charge will be in the same direction as the field, but the force on a negative charge will be in the opposite direction to the field. Thus the direction of the force is upward.

Given;

magnitude of charge, q = 0.06 C

magnitude of electric field, E = 200 N/C

The magnitude of the force is given by;

F = qE

F = 0.06 x 200 N/C

F = 12 N Upwards

Therefore, the magnitude of the force is 12 N Upwards
