Answer:

  • Define and measure speed.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

  • Estimate the speed of light.
  • Propose the heliocentric theory.
  • Discover radioactivity.
  • Define and measure speed.
  • Invent the reflecting telescope.

Galileo Galilei was the first person to attempt to measure speed, specifically the speed of light. He attempted to do this in the 1600s, with the help of an assistant. Galileo tried to measure how quickly light would travel from one hilltop to another one. However, light was so fast that it was impossible to measure it in this way.

When do (object distance) is very large, what does the thin lens equation predict for the value of 1/f?
N76 [4]

Answer:

1 / f = 1 / o + 1 / i

1 / image distance + 1 / object distance = 1  focal length

If the object distance is large the image will be at about the focal length

The value of 1 / f is fixed for any one particular lense

As the object distance decreases the image must increase

The above equation can also be written as

o i / (i + o) = f    or i / (i / o + 1)  = f

If for instance o was very large the image would be at the focal length

What is the acceleration if a 5 kg cart is pushed with 30 N of force?
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

<h2>6 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a  = \frac{30}{5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>6 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

There’s force of friction/ drag that slows down a moving object, there’s also gravity pulling the wagon down which would help slow it down. Hope this helps good luck.

a gym consists of a rectangular region with a semi-circle on each end. if the perimeter of the room is to be a 200 m running tra
Nikolay [14]

The dimensions of the rectangle are:

l = 50 m

b = 100/\pi m

<h3>What is a perimeter in math?</h3>

The perimeter is the length of the outline of a shape. To find the perimeter of a rectangle or square you have to add the lengths of all the four sides.

<h3>How do we find a perimeter of a rectangle?</h3>

The perimeter of a rectangle,denoted by P is given by the formula, P=2l+2b, where l is the length and b is the breadth of the rectangle.

<h3>Given:</h3>

As per the question:

Perimeter of the room is given as P = 200 m

The region is rectangular having a semicircle at each end.

Now,

Let 'l' be the length of the rectangle, 'b' be its breadth and 'r' be the radius of the semi-circle at each end.

Then, Area of the given rectangle, A = lb

Perimeter of the room, P is =\pi r+l+\pi r+l=2\pi r+2l=\pi b+2l

Therefore,  \pi b+2l=200

b=(200-2l)/\pi

Now,

Area, A = l(200-2l)/\pi=(200l-2l^{2} )/\pi

Now, differentiate A w.r.t l:

Again differentiating w.r.t 'l', we get:

d^{2} A/dl^{2} =-4l/\pi< 0

Thus we get maximum are when dA/dl=0

Therefore,

(200-4l)/\pi=0

l = 50 m

Now, from

\pi b+2l=200

\pi b=200-2*50

b=100/\pi

r=b/2=50/\pi

A charged particle moving through a magnetic field at right angles to the field with a speed of 24.7 m/s experiences a magnetic
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

let the charge is q. velocity, v = 24.7 m/s

magnetic force, F = 2.38 x 10^-4 N

Let the magnetic field is B.

Velocity, v' = 5.64 m/s

angle, θ = 21.2°

The force experienced by a charged particle placed in a magnetic field is given by

F = q x v x B x Sinθ

in first case

2.38 x 10^-4 = q x 24.7 x B x Sin 90 .... (1)

in second case

F = q x 5.64 x B x Sin 21.2°      .... (2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1), we get

\frac{F}{2.38\times 10^{-4}}=\frac{5.64\times Sin 21.2}{24.7\times Sin 90}

F = 1.97 x 10^-5 N
