- Different Converging Lens Ray Diagram questions
Drawing ray diagrams for converging lens come in many forms. But the basic concepts needed are the 3 rays (which have rules to follow) to locate the image. The following ray diagrams for the 4 scenarios must be learned well, together with the respective image characteristics and applications. Example A Example B Example C Example D Example E Example F Example G Example H Example I Example J
- Object is released and free-falling. Time taken to fall vertically from P to Q?
Keep in mind that you can utilize the two main concepts of a speed-time graph. As object is under free-fall, the acceleration (the gradient of the graph) is 10 m/s2. The area undereath the speed-time graph is the distance. So the area under the graph from P to Q is 120 m. With this two equation, you can solve all unknowns. Solutions: Option A
- Converging Lens – Which ray is correct after passing through the lens
Which of the following light rays behaves correctly when it passes through the converging lens? Solutions: Option C Recall these basic concepts on the 3 rays
- Displacement-time and Velocity-time Graph of Ball Thrown Up / Ball Dropped
1) When a ball is thrown up and it comes down When the ball leaves the hand, there is no upward force acting on the ball. The only force acting on the ball is its weight. This net force is opposite to the motion of the ball, hence causing the ball to decelerate. 2) When the ball is dropped and it re-bounces back (assume no energy lost) When the ball is released, the only force acting on the ball is its own weight. This net force on the ball is in the direction of the motion, hence causing the ball to accelerate as it falls. Note that the acceleration due to gravity is assumed to be 10 ms-2, where air resistance is negligible. 3) When the ball is dropped and it re-bounces back (in reality with energy lost) In reality, when the ball hits the ground, there will be some energy converted to heat and sound. So the ball will never return to its original height that it was released. So how will the graphs look like?
- 2004PPp1q15 - Volume of bubble at bottom of lake (P1V1 = P2V2)
Answer: Option A Since the air bubble is enclosed, PV at A is equal to PV at B. PAVA = PBVB (Patm + Pwater) VA = (Patm) VB (10 + 20) VA = 10 x 6 VA = 60 / 30 = 2 cm3
- Minimum force to lift a drum over a step (different examples)
Given that the mass of the drum is 20 kg. What is the minimum force, F, required to just movee th drum off the ground? (Assume uniform mass of drum and g = 10 N/kg) Knowing the position of the pivot and identifying the perpendicular distance is important. Consider the 3 variations of the same question as shown below. Type 1: Very straight forward as the pivot is same level as the CG of the drum. Hence pendicular distance is easy to identify. Type 2: Using pythagoras theorem to find the necessary perpendicular distance. Type 3: Using Toa, Cah and Soh to find the necessary perpendicular distance.
