What is the focal length of a lens?

Physics
1 answer:
marishachu [46]3 years ago
3 0
The focal length of the lens is the distance between the lens and the image sensor when the subject is in focus, usually stated in millimeters (e.g., 28 mm, 50 mm, or 100 mm). In the case of zoom lenses, both the minimum and maximum focal lengths are stated, for example 18–55 mm.

A 5 kg bowling ball travelling at 2 m/s hits a motionless 10 kg bowling ball. If the smaller ball bounces back at a speed of -1
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

  1.5 m/s

Explanation:

Conservation of momentum means the momentum of the system before the collision is the same as after.

The before, after momentum of each ball is ...

  5 kg ball: (5 kg)(2 m/s), (5 kg)(-1 m/s)

  10 kg ball: (10 kg)(0 m/s), (10 kg)(v)

The sum of the "before" products is the same as the sum of the "after" products:

  (5 kg)(2 m/s) +0 = (5 kg)(-1 m/s) +(10 kg)v

  (10 +5) kg·m/s = (10 kg)·v . . . . . add (5 kg)(1 m/s) to both sides

  v = (15 kg·m/s)/(10 kg) = 1.5 m/s

The speed of the larger ball will be 1.5 m/s. Its direction of motion will be the opposite of that of the 5 kg ball after the collision.

You have a two-wheel trailer that you pull behind your ATV. Two children with a combined mass of 92.2 kg hop on board for a ride
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

 k = 1400.4 N / m

Explanation:

When the springs are oscillating a simple harmonic motion is created where the angular velocity is

          w² = k / m

          w = \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }

where angular velocity, frequency and period are related

          w = 2π f = 2π / T

           

we substitute

          2π / T = \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }

         T² = 4π² \frac{m}{k}

          k =  π²  \frac{m}{T^{2} }

in this case the period is T = 1.14s, the combined mass of the children is

m = 92.2 kg and the constant of the two springs is

          k = 4π² 92.2 / 1.14²

          k = 2800.8 N / m

to find the constant of each spring let's use the equilibrium condition

          F₁ + F₂ - W = 0

           k x + k x = W

indicate that the compression of the two springs is the same, so we could replace these subtraction by another with an equivalent cosecant

           (k + k) x = W

            2k x = W

            k_eq = 2k

            k = k_eq / 2

            k = 2800.8 / 2

            k = 1400.4 N / m

Differentiate between Amplitude, wavelength and frequency in a Transverse wave.
s2008m [1.1K]
Two physical characteristics of a wave are amplitude and wavelength. The amplitude of a wave is the height of a wave as measured from the highest point on the wave (peak or crest) to the lowest point on the wave (trough). Wavelength refers to the length of a wave from one peak to the next.

A 4.0 cm object is 6.0 cm from a convex mirror that has a focal length of 8.0 cm. What is the distance of the image from the mir
ioda

Mirror formula

1/f = (1/p) + (1/q)    [ f= focal length  ,  p= object distance ,  q = image distance ]

as given convex mirror so

distance of object =p= 6cm

focal length =  -8cm

to find q=?

1/q =( 1/f) - (1/ p)

1/q = (1/ 8) -(1/6)

1/q =-1/24

q=-24  ( negative sign shows image is virtual and behind the mirror)

the book has a mass of 2.5 kg. What net force must act on the book to mak it accelerate to the left at a rate of 7.0m/s2?
Reil [10]

Answer:

17.5 N

Explanation:

<h2>Given :</h2>

  • Mass (m) = 2.5 kg
  • Acceleration (a) = 7.0 m/s²

<h2>To calculate :</h2>

  • Force exerted (F)

<h2>Calculation :</h2>

<h3>• F = ma</h3>

→ F = (2.5 × 7.0) N

→ F = 25/10 × 7 N

→ F = 5/2 × 7 N

→ F = (5 × 7)/2 N

→ F = 35/2 N

→ <u>F</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>7</u><u>.</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>N</u><u> </u><u>towards</u><u> </u><u>left</u>

Hence, 17.5 N of net force must act on the book to make it accelerate to the left.
