The second major reason for the difference in gravity at differentlatitudes is that the Earth's equatorial bulge (itself also caused by centrifugalforce from rotation) causes objects at the Equator to be farther from the planet's centre than objects at the poles.

Masja [62]

As we know that

\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_0} = \frac{1}{f}

here we know that

d_0 = 6 cm

f = 10 cm

now from above equation we have

\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{10}

d_i = -15 cm

so image will form on left side of lens at a distance of 15 cm

The study of alternating electric current requires the solutions of equations of the form i equals Upper I Subscript max Baselin
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Explanation:

i = Imax sin2πft

given i = 180 , Imax = 200 , f = 50  , t = ?

Put the give values in the equation above

180 = 200 sin 2πft

sin 2πft = .9

sin2π x 50t = .9

sin 360 x 50 t = sin ( 360n + 64 )

360 x 50 t = 360n + 64

360 x 50 t =  64 ,  ( putting n = 0 for least value of t )

18000 t = 64

t = 3.55 ms  .

If a rock is thrown upward on the planet mars with a velocity of 11 m/s, its height (in meters) after t seconds is given by h =
Butoxors [25]
(a) 3.56 m/s 
(b) 11 - 3.72a 
(c) t = 5.9 s 
(d) -11 m/s  
For most of these problems, you're being asked the velocity of the rock as a function of t, while you've been given the position as a function of t. So first calculate the first derivative of the position function using the power rule. 
y = 11t - 1.86t^2 
y' = 11 - 3.72t 
Now that you have the first derivative, it will give you the velocity as a function of t. 
(a) Velocity after 2 seconds. 
y' = 11 - 3.72t 
y' = 11 - 3.72*2 = 11 - 7.44 = 3.56 
So the velocity is 3.56 m/s  
(b) Velocity after a seconds. 
y' = 11 - 3.72t 
y' = 11 - 3.72a  
So the answer is 11 - 3.72a  
(c) Use the quadratic formula to find the zeros for the position function y = 11t-1.86t^2. Roots are t = 0 and t = 5.913978495. The t = 0 is for the moment the rock was thrown, so the answer is t = 5.9 seconds.  
(d) Plug in the value of t calculated for (c) into the velocity function, so: 
y' = 11 - 3.72a
 y' = 11 - 3.72*5.913978495
 y' = 11 - 22
 y' = -11 
 So the velocity is -11 m/s which makes sense since the total energy of the rock will remain constant, so it's coming down at the same speed as it was going up.

2.27 A gas is compressed from V1= 0.3 m3, p1=1 bar to V2= 0.1 m3, p2 =3 bar. The pressure and
Georgia [21]

Answer:

-40 kJ

80 kJ

Explanation:

Work is equal to the area under the pressure vs volume graph.

W = ∫ᵥ₁ᵛ² P dV

2.27) Pressure and volume are linearly related.  When we graph P vs V, the area under the line is a trapezoid.  So the work is:

W = ½ (P₁ + P₂) (V₂ − V₁)

W = ½ (100 kPa + 300 kPa) (0.1 m³ − 0.3 m³)

W = -40 kJ

2.29) Pressure and volume are inversely proportional:

pV = k

The initial pressure and volume are 500 kPa and 0.1 m³.  So the constant is:

(500) (0.1) = k

k = 50

The final pressure is 100 kPa.  So the final volume is:

(100) V = 50

V = 0.5

The work is therefore:

W = ∫ᵥ₁ᵛ² P dV

W = ∫₀₁⁰⁵ (50/V) dV

W = 50 ln(V) |₀₁⁰⁵

W = 50 (ln 0.5 − ln 0.1)

W ≈ 80 kJ
