What type of mage can never be formed by a converging lens?

Irina18 [472]

Answer: Real image

Explanation:

converging lens will only produce a real image if the object is located beyond the focal point (i.e., more than one focal length away).

Which of the following would have more momentum than fiona, a 313kg hippo, running at 8m/s?

kap26 [50]

Let's calculate the momentum of Fiona, given by the product between its mass and its speed:
$p=mv=(313 kg)(8 m/s)=2504 kg m/s$

Now let's compare it with the momentum of the other animals:
a) the mass of the sea turtle is missing, so we cannot calculate its momentum.
b) the momentum of the dolphin is
$p=mv=(150 kg)(18 m/s)=2700 kg m/s$
c) the momentum of the horse is
$p=mv=(380 kg)(4 m/s)=1520 kg m/s$
d) the momentum of the lion is
$p=mv=(190 kg)(11 m/s)=2090 m/s$

And we can see that the correct answer is b), because the momentum of the dolphin is greater than the momentum of Fiona.

A charge Q is uniformly spread over one surface of a very large nonconducting square elastic sheet having sides of length d. At

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

E/4

Explanation:

The formula for electric field of a very large (essentially infinitely large) plane of charge is given by:

E = σ/(2ε₀)

Where;

E is the electric field

σ is the surface charge density

ε₀ is the electric constant.

Formula to calculate σ is;

σ = Q/A

Where;

Q is the total charge of the sheet

A is the sheet's area.

We are told the elastic sheet is a square with a side length as d, thus ;

A = d²

So;

σ = Q/d²

Putting Q/d² for σ in the electric field equation to obtain;

E = Q/(2ε₀d²)

Now, we can see that E is inversely proportional to the square of d i.e.

E ∝ 1/d²

The electric field at P has some magnitude E. We now double the side length of the sheet to 2L while keeping the same amount of charge Q distributed over the sheet.

From the relationship of E with d, the magnitude of electric field at P will now have a quarter of its original magnitude which is;

E_new = E/4
