A lens of focal length 15.0 cm is held 10.0 cm from a page (the object ). Find the magnification .

Physics

nevsk [136]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Magnification, m = 3

Explanation:

It is given that,

Focal length of the lens, f = 15 cm

Object distance, u = -10 cm

Lens formula :

\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}

v is image distance

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{15}+\dfrac{1}{(-10)}\\\\v=-30\ cm

Magnification,

m=\dfrac{v}{u}\\\\m=\dfrac{-30}{10}\\\\m=3

So, the magnification of the lens is 3.

Identical cannon balls are fired with the same force, one each from four cannons having respective bore lengths of 1.0 meter, 2.
Gala2k [10]

To answer this question, we must bear in mind the following considerations that are mentioned in the statement:

The cannon balls are identical and shoot with the same force

The force acting on the cannonball increases with the length of the hole.

You want to know which cannon will have the least momentum on the ball.

Then, the force on the ball increases as the barrel length increases and the impulse depends on the magnitude of the force, then, the cannon that will have the minimum impulse will be the 1 meter one.

The answer is option B.

What is true of an object pulled inward in an electric field?
slava [35]

Answer:

option b

Explanation:

There is an object pulled inward in an electric field.

We have to find out of the four options given which is true.

a) The object has a neutral charge is false since when electric field pulls the object inward, there is a charge inside.

b) The object has a charge opposite that of the field, this option is correct since there will be an equal and opposite charge created by the object

c) The object has a negative charge will be correct only if the original charge was positive hence wrong

d) The object has a charge the same as that of the field is incorrect since this would be opposite the charge

So only option b is right

A 3.00-kg model airplane has velocity components of 5.00 m/s due east and 8.00 m/s due north. What is the plane’s kinetic energy
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Kinetic energy, E = 133.38 Joules

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the model airplane, m = 3 kg

Velocity component, v₁ = 5 m/s (due east)

Velocity component, v₂ = 8 m/s (due north)

Let v is the resultant of velocity. It is given by :

v=\sqrt{v_1^2+v_2^2}

v=\sqrt{5^2+8^2}=9.43\ m/s

Let E is the kinetic energy of the plane. It is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\ kg\times (9.43\ m/s)^2

E = 133.38 Joules

So, the kinetic energy of the plane is 133.38 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

Plastic foam is about 0.10 times as dense as water. What weight of bricks could you stack on a 1m x 1m x 0.10m slab of foam, so
goblinko [34]

Answer: Weight = 98.1N

Explanation:

Density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

Given that the Plastic foam is about 0.10 times as dense as water. That is,

Density of plastic foam = 0.1 × 1000 = 100kg/m^3

The volume V = 1 ×1×0.1 = 0.1 m^3

Density is the ratio of mass to volume

Density = mass/volume

Let us substitute for density and volume to get mass.

100 = M/0.1

Make M the subject of formula

M = 100 × 0.1 = 10 kg

Weight = mg

Where g = 9.81 m/s

Substitute the M and g into the formula

Weight = 10 × 9.81 = 98.1 N

Therefore, the weight of the brick is 98.1 N

A student is asked to describe the path of a paper airplane that is thrown in the classroom. Which statement best describes the
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: The paper airplane will create a curved path towards the floor as it is pulled toward <u><em>Earth's center.</em></u>

Explanation: The paper airplane will be pulled to the center because <u><em>Earth has a much greater mass than objects on its surface.</em></u> And it will curve because of the amount of <u><em>force</em></u> you are putting onto the plane.
