Answer:

(A) therefore the image is

63 cm to the right of the lens
the image size is -13.22 cm
it is real
it is inverted

(B) therefore the image is

63 cm to the right of the lens
the image size is -13.22 cm
it is real
it is inverted

Explanation:

height of the insect (h) = 5.25 mm = 0.525 cm

distance of the insect (s) = 25 cm

radius of curvature of the flat left surface (R1) = ∞

radius of curvature of the right surface (R2) = -12.5 cm (because it is a planoconvex lens with the radius in the direction of the incident rays)

index of refraction (n) = 1.7

(A) we can find the location of the image by applying the formula below

$\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{s'} +\frac{1}{s}$ where

s' = distance of the image
f = focal length

but we first need to find the focal length before we can apply this formula

$\frac{1}{f} =(n-1)(\frac{1}{R1} -\frac{1}{R2} )$

$\frac{1}{f} =(1.7-1)(\frac{1}{∞} -\frac{1}{-12.5} )$

$\frac{1}{f} =(0.7)(0 + \frac{1}{12.5} )$

$\frac{1}{f} =\frac{0.7}{12.5}$

f = $\frac{12.5}{0.7}$

f = 17.9 cm

now that we have the focal length we can apply $\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{s'} +\frac{1}{s}$

$\frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{s}$ =\frac{1}{s'}

$\frac{1}{17.9} - \frac{1}{25}$ =\frac{1}{s'}

$\frac{25 - 17.9}{17.9 x 25} =\frac{1}{s'}$

$\frac{7.1}{447.5} =\frac{1}{s'}$

s' = \frac{447.5}{7.1}[/tex] = 63 cm to the right of the lens

magnification = $\frac{-s'}{s} =\frac{y'}{y}$ where y' is the height of the image, therefore

$\frac{-s'}{s} =\frac{y'}{y}$

$\frac{-63}{25} =\frac{y'}{52.5}$

y' = $\frac{-63}{25}$ x 0.525 = -13.22 cm

therefore the image is

63 cm to the right of the lens
the image size is -13.22 cm
it is real
it is inverted

(B) if the lens is reversed, the radius of curvatures would be interchanged

radius of curvature of the flat left surface (R1) = ∞

radius of curvature of the right surface (R2) = 12.5 cm

we can find the location of the image by applying the formula below

$\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{s'} +\frac{1}{s}$ where

s' = distance of the image
f = focal length

but we first need to find the focal length before we can apply this formula

$\frac{1}{f} =(n-1)(\frac{1}{R1} -\frac{1}{R2} )$

$\frac{1}{f} =(1.7-1)(\frac{1}{12.5} -\frac{1}{∞} )$

$\frac{1}{f} =(0.7)( \frac{1}{12.5} - 0)$

$\frac{1}{f} =\frac{0.7}{12.5}$

f = $\frac{12.5}{0.7}$

f = 17.9 cm

now that we have the focal length we can apply $\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{s'} +\frac{1}{s}$

$\frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{s}$ =\frac{1}{s'}

$\frac{1}{17.9} - \frac{1}{25}$ =\frac{1}{s'}

$\frac{25 - 17.9}{17.9 x 25} =\frac{1}{s'}$

$\frac{7.1}{447.5} =\frac{1}{s'}$

s' = \frac{447.5}{7.1}[/tex] = 63 cm to the right of the lens

magnification = $\frac{-s'}{s} =\frac{y'}{y}$ where y' is the height of the image, therefore

$\frac{-s'}{s} =\frac{y'}{y}$

$\frac{-63}{25} =\frac{y'}{52.5}$

y' = $\frac{-63}{25}$ x 0.525 = -13.22 cm

therefore the image is

63 cm to the right of the lens
the image size is -13.22 cm
it is real
it is inverted

Assume that the average mass of each of the approximately 1 billion people in China is 55 kg.Assume that they all gather in one

Harman [31]

Answer: $5.9(10)^{-8} m$

Explanation:

The equation to calculate the center of mass $C_{M}$ of a particle system is:

$C_{M}=\frac{m_{1}r_{1}+m_{1}r_{1}+...+m_{n}r_{n}}{m_{1}+m_{2}+...+m_{n}}$

In this case we can arrange for one dimension, assuming the geometric center of the Earth and the ladder are on a line, and assuming original center of mass located at the Earth's geometric center:

$C_{M}=\frac{m_{E}(0 m) + m_{p} r_{E-p}}{m_{E}+m_{p}}$

Where:

$m_{E}=5.9(10)^{24} kg$ is the mass of the Earth

$m_{p}=55(10)^{9} kg$ is the mass of 1 billion people

$r_{E}=6371000 m$ is the radius of the Earth

$r_{E-p}=6371000 m- 2m=6370998 m$ is the distance between the center of the Earth and the position of the people (2 m above the Earth's surface)

$C_{M}=\frac{m_{p}55(10)^{9} kg (6370998 m)}{5.9(10)^{24} kg+55(10)^{9} kg}$

$C_{M}=5.9(10)^{-8} m$ This is the displacement of Earth's center of mass from the original center.

A baseball rolls off of a .7 m high desk and strikes the floor .25 m always how fast was the ball rolling

labwork [276]

Answer:

the ball's velocity was approximately 0.66 m/s

Explanation:

Recall that we can study the motion of the baseball rolling off the table in vertical component and horizontal component separately.

Since the velocity at which the ball was rolling is entirely in the horizontal direction, it doesn't affect the vertical motion that can therefore be studied as a free fall, where only the constant acceleration of gravity is affecting the vertical movement.

Then, considering that the ball, as it falls covers a vertical distance of 0.7 meters to the ground, we can set the equation of motion for this, and estimate the time the ball was in the air:

0.7 = (1/2) g t^2

solve for t:

t^2 = 1.4 / g

t = 0.3779 sec

which we can round to about 0.38 seconds

No we use this time in the horizontal motion, which is only determined by the ball's initial velocity (vi) as it takes off:

horizontal distance covered = vi * t

0.25 = vi * (0.38)

solve for vi:

vi = 0.25/0.38 m/s

vi = 0.65798 m/s

Then the ball's velocity was approximately 0.66 m/s

you have been called to testify as a as an expert witness in a trial involving a head-on collision Car A weighs 1515 pounds and

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

70.6 mph

Explanation:

Car A mass= 1515 lb

Car B mass=1125 lb

Speed of car B is 46 miles/h

Distance before locking, d=19.5 ft

Coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.75

Initial momentum of car B=mv where m is mass and v is velocity in ft/s

46 mph*1.46667=67.4666668 ft/s

$Momentum_B=1125*67.4666668 ft/s$

Initial momentum of car A is given by

$Momentum_A=1515v_a$ where $v_a$ is velocity of A

Taking East as positive and west as negative then the sum of initial momentum is

$1515v_a-(1125*67.4666668 ft/s)$

The common velocity is represented as $v_c$ hence after collision, the final momentum is

$Momentum_final=(m_a+m_b)v_c=(1515+1125)v_c=2640v_c$

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, sum of initial and final momentum equals each other hence

$1515v_a-(1125*67.4666668 ft/s)= 2640v_c$

The acceleration of two cars $a=-\mug=-0.75*32.17=-24.1275 ft/s^{2}$

From kinematic equation

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2as$ hence

$v^{2}-u^{2}=2as$

$0^{2}-(v_c)^{2}=2*-24.1275*19.5$

$v_c=\sqrt{2*24.1275*19.5}=30.67 ft/s$

Substituting the value of $v_c$ in equation $1515v_a-(1125*67.4666668 ft/s)= 2640v_c$

$1515v_a-(1125*67.4666668 ft/s)= 2640*30.67$

$1515v_a=(1125*67.4666668 ft/s)+2640*30.67$

$v_a=\frac {156868.8}{1515}=103.5438 ft/s$

$\frac {103.5438}{1.46667}=70.59787 mph\approx 70.60 mph$
