Describe the phenomenon of lightning?

1 answer:

3 0

Lightning is a naturally occurring electrostatic discharge during which two electrically charged regions in the atmosphere or ground temporarily equalize themselves, causing the instantaneous release of as much as one gigajoule of energy.

An object is placed in front of a diverging lens, such that the object-to-image distance is 71 cm.

Pachacha [2.7K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Object-to-image distance d= 71 cm

Image distance = 26 cm

We need to calculate the object distance

$u -v= d$

$u=71+26=97\ cm$

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of lens

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}$

put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{-26}+\dfrac{1}{97}$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{71}{2522}$

$f=-35.52\ cm$

The focal length of the lens is 35.52.

(B). Given that,

Object distance = 95 cm

Focal length = 29 cm

We need to calculate the distance of the image

Using formula of lens

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}$

Put the value in to the formula

$\dfrac{1}{-29}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{95}$

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{-29}-\dfrac{1}{95}$

$\dfrac{1}{v}=-\dfrac{124}{2755}$

$v=-22.21\ cm$

We need to calculate the magnification

Using formula of magnification

$m=\dfrac{v}{u}$

$m=\dfrac{22.21}{95}$

$m=0.233$

The magnification is 0.233.

The image is virtual.

Hence, This is the required solution.

The nose of an ultralight plane is pointed south, and its airspeed indicator shows 28 m/s . the plane is in a 18 m/s wind blowin

leva [86]

<span>Here I think you have to find the velocity in x and y components where x is east and y is north
So as air speed indicator shows the negative speed in y component and adding it in
air speed while multiplying with the direction component we will get the velocity as velocity is a vector quantity so direction is also required
v=-28 m/s y + 18 m/s (- x/sqrt(2) - y/sqrt(2))
solving
v= -12.7 m/s x-40.7 m/s y
if magnitude of velocity or speed is required then
speed= sqrt(12.7^2 + 40.7^2)
speed= 42.63 m/s
if angle is asked
angle = arctan (40.7/12.7)
angle = 72.67 degrees south of west</span>
