2. You will need a magnifying glass and a small piece of scrap paper for this demonstration. a. Go outside on a sunny day and pu

t the piece of paper on a patch of asphalt, concrete, or a large flat rock. Make sure there is no other combustible material or debris in the vicinity. b. Hold the magnifying glass so it is close to the paper, with rays of sunlight shining through it. Move the magnifying glass side to side and close or away from the paper until the most concentrated ray of light is shining on the paper. This is the focal point for that magnifying glass. c. Measure the distance between the focal point and magnifying glass. This is the focal length for that magnifying glass. (Be careful; if you hold the magnifying glass in that place for long enough, the paper will catch fire. Do not ever do this on your skin or clothing, as it can cause serious burns.) d. Now take the magnifying glass inside and use it to look at the words in a book. What is the focal length now?

The focal length of a magnifying glass is the distance between the focal point and optical centre of the magnifying glass.

<h3>Focal length</h3>

The focal length, f is the distance from a lens or mirror to the focal point, F.

This is the distance from a lens or mirror at which parallel light rays will meet for a converging lens or mirror or appear to diverge from for a diverging lens or mirror.

A magnifying glass is a converging lens which produces a enlarged, erect and virtual image when an object is placed between the focal point and optical centre.

A magnifying glass will bring to focus at a point sun rays which can cause the paper to catch fire if it is held in place for long.

This point at which the most concentrated ray of light is shining on the paper, is the focal point for that magnifying glass.

Therefore, the focal length of a magnifying glass is the distance between the focal point and optical centre of the magnifying glass.

During which phase of the moon do neap tides occur?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

First Quarter and Third Quarter.

Explanation:

Tides are formed as a consequence of the differentiation of gravity due to the Moon across to the Earth sphere.

Since gravity variates with the distance:

F = G\frac{m1\cdot m2}{r^{2}} (1)

Where m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects that are interacting and r is the distance between them.

For example, seeing the image below, point A is closer to the Moon than point b, and at the same time the center of mass of the Earth will feel more attracted to the Moon than point B. Therefore, that creates a tidal bulge in point A and point B.

When the Sun and the Moon are alight with respect to the Earth, then the Sun tidal force contributes to the tidal force of the Moon over the Earth. That makes the high tides even higher (spring tides).

               

However, when the Sun is not in the same line than the Moon (the Moon is at 90° with respect to the Sun), then the low tides are higher and the high tides are lower. That scenario is known as neap tides.

           

Therefore, that happens when the Moon is at First Quarter and Third Quarter.

How are metals identified i the periodic table??
zaharov [31]

Answer:

okay here is a thing I learned when I was younger in my middle school:

Explanation:

my teacher would tell me that metals are considered a weak metals are on the left side and the good metals are located on the right side because the only way I remembered was the right means it is really strong and the left is weak and not that supportive. but I think that's how I still think it is or other people may have their own opinions. but hope this helped out with your question!

Density is a physical property that relates the mass of a substance to its volume. A. Calculate the density, in g/mL , of a liqu
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

A) 0.660 g/ml

B) 1.297 ml

C) 0.272 g

Explanation:

Every substance, body or material has mass and volume, however the mass of different substances occupy different volumes.  This is where density D appears as a  physical characteristic property of matter that establishes a relationship between the mass m of a body or substance and the volume V it occupies:

D=\frac{m}{V} (1)

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h2 /><h2>Answer A:</h2>

Here the mass is m=0.155g and th volume V=0.000235L=0.235mL

Solving (1) with these values:

D=\frac{0.155g}{0.235mL} (2)

D=0.660g/mL (3)

<h2>Answer B:</h2>

In this case the mass of a sample is m=4.71g and its density is D=3.63g/mL.

Isolating V from (1):

V=\frac{m}{D} (4)

V=\frac{4.71g}{3.63g/mL} (5)

V=1.297mL (5)

<h2>Answer C:</h2>

In this case the volume of a sample is V=0.293mL and its density is D=0.930g/mL.

Isolating m from (1):

m=D.V (6)

m=(0.930g/mL)(0.293mL) (7)

m=0.272g (8)
