Suppose that, while lying on a beach near the equator watching the Sun set over a calm ocean, you start a stopwatch just as the

top of the Sun disappears. You then stand, elevating your eyes by a height H = 1.70 m, and stop the watch when the top of the Sun again disappears. If the elapsed time is t = 11.1 s, what is the radius r of Earth?

A screen is placed a distance dd to the right of an object. A converging lens with focal length ff is placed between the object
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

2f

Explanation:

The formula for the object - image relationship of thin lens is given as;

1/s + 1/s' = 1/f

Where;

s is object distance from lens

s' is the image distance from the lens

f is the focal length of the lens

Total distance of the object and image from the lens is given as;

d = s + s'

We earlier said that; 1/s + 1/s' = 1/f

Making s' the subject, we have;

s' = sf/(s - f)

Since d = s + s'

Thus;

d = s + (sf/(s - f))

Expanding this, we have;

d = s²/(s - f)

The derivative of this with respect to d gives;

d(d(s))/ds = (2s/(s - f)) - s²/(s - f)²

Equating to zero, we have;

(2s/(s - f)) - s²/(s - f)² = 0

(2s/(s - f)) = s²/(s - f)²

Thus;

2s = s²/(s - f)

s² = 2s(s - f)

s² = 2s² - 2sf

2s² - s² = 2sf

s² = 2sf

s = 2f

Newton’s second law states that the acceleration a of an object is proportional to the force F acting on it is inversely proport
netineya [11]

Answer:

[F]=[MLT^{-2}]

Explanation:

Newton’s second law states that the acceleration a of an object is proportional to the force F acting on it is inversely proportional to its mass m. The mathematical expression for the second law of motion is given by :

F = m × a

F is the applied force

m is the mass of the object

a is the acceleration due to gravity

We need to find the dimensions of force. The dimension of force m and a are as follows :

[m]=[M]

[a]=[LT^{-2}]

So, the dimension of force F is, [F]=[MLT^{-2}]. Hence, this is the required solution.

A spring has been compressed inside a toy what kind of energy is this
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Elastic Potential Energy

Explanation:

Elastic Potential Energy (“Spring Energy”) is the form of energy an object has when it is stretched, compressed, twisted, bent, or otherwise has its shape changed as long as the object resists and will try to return to its original state.

Explain how friction keeps a nail in place in a block of wood. If you try pull out the nail which way does friction act?
Bess [88]

Answer:

Opposite to the direction that you are pulling

Explanation:

Static friction acts in the opposite direction to the acceleration.

Kinetic friction acts in the opposite direction to the velocity.
