Answer:

Read below.

Explanation:

Convex lenses: have a thicker centre than their edges. Converges light rays to a point.

Concave lenses: have thicker edges than their centre. Diverges the light rays passing through it.

An airplane wing is designed so that the speed of the air across the top of the wing is 255 m/s when the speed of the air below

grin007 [14]

<h2>Answer:442758.96N</h2>

Explanation:

This problem is solved using Bernoulli's equation.

Let $P$ be the pressure at a point.

Let $p$ be the density fluid at a point.

Let $v$ be the velocity of fluid at a point.

Bernoulli's equation states that $P+\frac{1}{2}pv^{2}+pgh=constant$ for all points.

Lets apply the equation of a point just above the wing and to point just below the wing.

Let $p_{up}$ be the pressure of a point just above the wing.

Let $p_{do}$ be the pressure of a point just below the wing.

Since the aeroplane wing is flat,the heights of both the points are same.

$\frac{1}{2}(1.29)(255)^{2}+p_{up}= \frac{1}{2}(1.29)(199)^{2}+p_{do}$

So, $p_{up}-p_{do}=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.29\times (25424)=16398.48Pa$

Force is given by the product of pressure difference and area.

Given that area is $27ms^{2}$ .

So,lifting force is $16398.48\times 27=442758.96N$

A point charge q1=+5.00nC is at the fixed position x=0, y=0, z=0. You find that you must do 8.10×10−6J of work to bring a second

Maru [420]

The value of the second charge is 1.2 nC.

<h3>Electric potential</h3>

The work done in moving the charge from infinity to the given position is calculated as follows;

W = Eq₂

E = W/q₂

<h3>Magnitude of second charge</h3>

The magnitude of the second charge is determined by applying Coulomb's law.

$E = \frac{kq_2}{r^2} \\\\\frac{kq_2}{r^2} = \frac{W}{q_2} \\\\kq_2^2 = Wr^2\\\\q_2^2 = \frac{Wr^2}{k} \\\\q_2 = \sqrt{\frac{Wr^2}{k} } \\\\q_2 = \sqrt{\frac{(8.1 \times 10^{-6}) \times (0.04)^2}{9\times 10^9} } \\\\q_2 = 1.2 \times 10^{-9} \ C\\\\q_2 = 1.2 \ nC$

Thus, the value of the second charge is 1.2 nC.

A vertical scale on a spring balance reads from 0 to 155 N . The scale has a length of 10.0 cm from the 0 to 155 N reading. A fi

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

mass of the fish is 8.11 kg

Explanation:

As we know that the frequency of oscillation of spring block system is given as

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

here we know that the reading of scale varies from 0 to 155 N from length varies from x = 0 to x = 10 cm

Now we have

$k = \frac{155}{0.10} N/m$

$k = 1550 N/m$

so now we have

$2.20 = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{1550}{m}}$

$m = 8.11 kg$

so mass of the fish is 8.11 kg

Two people travel from Columbus to Cleveland, one by car at an average velocity of 90km/h, and one by plane at an average veloci

Flura [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes , their displacement may be equal .

Suppose the displacement is AB where A is starting point and B is end point .

The car is covering the distance AB by going from A to B on straight line . On the other hand plane goes from A to C , then from C to D and then from D to B . In this way plane reaches B from A on a different path which is longer than path of the car . In the second case also displacement of plane is AB . In the second case distance covered is longer but displacement is same that is AB .
