Answer:
The f-ratio describes the relationship between the lens diameter and the focal length and is calculated by dividing the focal length by the diameter of the lens. For example, if a lens were to have a focal length of 50mm and a diameter of 10mm, then the f-ratio would be 50mm/10mm=5 or otherwise referred to as f5.
Explanation:
Let <em>F</em> be the magnitude of the force applied to the cart, <em>m</em> the mass of the cart, and <em>a</em> the acceleration it undergoes. After time <em>t</em>, the cart accelerates from rest <em>v</em>₀ = 0 to a final velocity <em>v</em>. By Newton's second law, the first push applies an acceleration of
<em>F</em> = <em>m a</em> → <em>a</em> = <em>F </em>/ <em>m</em>
so that the cart's final speed is
<em>v</em> = <em>v</em>₀ + <em>a</em> <em>t</em>
<em>v</em> = (<em>F</em> / <em>m</em>) <em>t</em>
<em />
If we force is halved, so is the accleration:
<em>a</em> = <em>F</em> / <em>m</em> → <em>a</em>/2 = <em>F</em> / (2<em>m</em>)
So, in order to get the cart up to the same speed <em>v</em> as before, you need to double the time interval <em>t</em> to 2<em>t</em>, since that would give
(<em>F</em> / (2<em>m</em>)) (2<em>t</em>) = (<em>F</em> / <em>m</em>) <em>t</em> = <em>v</em>
