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.

A huge tank of glycerine with a density of 1.260 g/cm3 is vertically stationed on a platform which is 15 m above the ground. The
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The tank is losing 4.976*10^{-4}  m^3/s

v_g = 19.81 \ m/s

Explanation:

According to the Bernoulli’s equation:

P_1 + 1 \frac{1}{2} \rho v_1^2 + \rho gh_1 = P_2 +  \frac{1}{2}  \rho v_2^2 + \rho gh_2

We are being informed that both the tank and the hole is being exposed to air :

∴ P₁ = P₂

Also as the tank is voluminous ; we take the initial volume  v_1 ≅ 0 ;

then v_2 can be determined as:\sqrt{[2g (h_1- h_2)]

h₁ = 5 + 15 = 20 m;

h₂ = 15 m

v_2 = \sqrt{[2*9.81*(20 - 15)]

v_2 = \sqrt{[2*9.81*(5)]

v_2= 9.9 \ m/s  as it leaves the hole at the base.

radius r = d/2  = 4/2 = 2.0 mm

(a) From the law of continuity; its equation can be expressed as:

J = A_1v_2

J = πr²v_2    

J =\pi *(2*10^{-3})^{2}*9.9

J =1.244*10^{-4}  m^3/s

b)

How fast is the water from the hole moving just as it reaches the ground?

In order to determine that; we use the relation of the velocity from the equation of motion which says:

v² = u² + 2gh ₂

v² = 9.9² + 2×9.81×15

v² = 392.31

The velocity of how fast the water from the hole is moving just as it reaches the ground is : v_g = \sqrt{392.31}

v_g = 19.81 \ m/s

A spring has a spring constant of 80 N/m. How much energy is stored in the spring when it is compressed 0.2 m past its natural l
Paha777 [63]
The energy of a compressed (or stretched) spring is given by

E= \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}

This gives

E= \frac{1}{2}80* 0.2^{2}  =1.6J
