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.

A 70.0-kg ice hockey goalie, originally at rest, catches a 0.150-kg hockey puck slapped at him at a velocity of 35.0 m/s. Suppos
brilliants [131]

Answer:

v₂=- 34 .85 m/s

v₁=0.14 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m₁=70 kg ,u₁=0 m/s

m₂=0.15 kg ,u₂=35 m/s

Given that collision is elastic .We know that for elastic  collision

Lets take their final speed is v₁ and v₂

From momentum conservation

m₁u₁+m₂u₂=m₁v₁+m₂v₂

70 x 0+ 0.15 x 35 = 70 x v₁ + 0.15 x v₂

70 x v₁ + 0.15 x v₂=5.25                   --------1

v₂-v₁=u₁-u₂            ( e= 1)

v₂-v₁ = -35        --------2

By solving above equations

v₂=- 34 .85 m/s

v₁=0.14 m/s

If it takes 50.0 seconds to lift 10.0 Newtons of books to a height of 7.0
Ilya [14]
Work of the force = 10 N

Time required for the work = 50 sec

Height = 7 m

We are given with the value of work and time in the question.

Substitute the values in the formula of power and then you'll get the power required.

We know that,

w = Work

p = Power

t = Time

By the formula,

Given that,
Work (w) = 7 m = 70 Joules
Time (t) = 50 sec
Substituting their values,

p = 70/50

p = 1.4 watts

Therefore, the power required is 1.4 watts.

Hope it helps!

When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth. If the muscle generates a force of 45.
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Torque on the rocket will be 1.11475 N -m

Explanation:

We have given that muscles generate a force of 45.5 N

So force F = 45.5 N

This force acts on the is acting on the effective lever arm of 2.45 cm

So length of the lever arm d = 2.45 cm = 0.0245 m

We have to find torque

We know that torque is given by \tau =F\times d=45.5\times 0.0245=1.11475N-m

So torque on the rocket will be 1.11475 N -m
