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.

A 20 m high filled water tank develops a 0.50 cm hole in the vertical wall near the base. With what speed does the water shoot o

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The speed of the water shoot out of the hole is 20 m/s.

(d) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 20 m

We need to calculate the velocity

Using formula Bernoulli equation

$\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2+\rho gh_{1}=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^2+\rho gh_{2}$

Where,

v₁= initial velocity

v₂=final velocity

h₁=total height

h₂=height of the hole from the base

Put the value into the formula

$v_{1}^2=2g(h_{2}-h_{1})$

$v_{1}=\sqrt{2g(h_{2}-h_{1})}$

$v_{1}=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times(20-0.005)}$

$v_{1}=19.7\ m/s= approximate\ 20\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of the water shoot out of the hole is 20 m/s.

The newest generation of smart phone uses three different batteries connected in a series simultaneously to extend battery life

azamat

Answer:

7.2 V

Explanation:

The three batteries are connected in series to the terminals of the phone: it means that they are connected along the same branch, so the current flowing through them is the same.

This also means that the potential difference across the phone will be equal to the sum of the voltages provided by each battery.

Here, the voltage provided by each battery is

V = 2.4 V

So, the overall voltage will be

V = 2.4 V + 2.4 V + 2.4 V = 7.2 V

The upward force on an airplane's wing is thrust.

kompoz [17]

No. 'Thrust' is what most people in aviation call the force
that pushes the aircraft forward.

The same people generally call the upward force on the wing "lift".

If 28.0 J of work is done by an external force to move a charge from a potential of 8.0 V 8.0 V to a potential of 4.0 V , 4.0 V,

jonny [76]

Answer:

Change in electric potential energy is -28.0 J

Explanation:

Electric potential energy is defined as the work is done to move a charge particle from one position to another in space in the presence of other charge particle or electric potential.

Electric potential energy is also equal to the change in the configuration of the charge particles.

Thus,

Change in electric potential energy = - Work Done

According to the problem, Work Done is equal to 28 J. Thus,

Change in electric potential energy = -28 J
