The owner of a van installs a rear-window lens that has a focal length of -0.298 m. When the owner looks out through the lens at

a person standing directly behind the van, the person appears to be just 0.245 m from the back of the van, and appears to be 0.338 m tall. (a) How far from the van is the object actually located, and (b) how tall is the object?

Answer:

a) 1.376 m

b) 1.899 m

Explanation:

Given

Focal length of the lens, f = -0.298 m

Distance of the image, d(i) = 0.245 m

Size of the image, I = 0.338 m

Using the following connotations,

O = object size

do = object distance

I = image size

di = image distance

f = focal length

The owner has a concave lens.

The magnification of this lens is I/O = (-f + di)/-f

I/O = (0.298 - 0.245)/0.298 =

I/O = 0.053 / 0.298

I/O = 0.178

Also,

I/O = -di/do, so that

I/O = 0.178 = -di/do

do = 0.245/0.178 = 1.376 m (distance of person from rear of car.

O = I/0.178

O = 0.338/0.178

O = 1.899 m (size of person)

Therefore, the distance of the object from the van is 1.376 m and the size of the object is 1.899 m

A 500 kilogram marlin and a 20 kilogram salmon are swimming at the same velocity. How does the momentum of the two fish compare?
ElenaW [278]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

Below are the choices that can be found from other sources:

A. The marlin has more momentum. 

<span>B. The salmon has more momentum. </span>

<span>C. Both have the same momentum. </span>

<span>D. Both have no momentum.
</span>
Velocity is speed. Momentum is the product of velocity and mass. Because the Marlin has a much greater mass that means that it's momentum would also be greater. 

<span>Lets look at this. momentum = mass x velocity </span>

<span>lets say that velocity for both fish is at 2 meters per second </span>
<span>Marlin : momentum = 500 x 2 = 1000 </span>
<span>Salmon : momentum = 20 x 2 = 40 </span>

<span>Therefore the answer is A</span>

If the ultraviolet photon has a wavelength of 249 nm and one of the photons emitted by the fluorescent material has a wavelength
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

601 nm

Explanation:

Energy of photon having wavelength of λ nm

= \frac{1244}{\lambda}eV

Energy of 249 nm photon

=\frac{1244}{249}

=4.996 eV

Similarly energy of 425nm photon

=\frac{1244}{425}

=2.927 eV

Difference = 2.069 eV.

This energy will give rise to another photon whose wavelength will be

λ = \frac{1244}{2.069}

= 601 nm.

If a wave's third harmonic has a frequency of 24 Hz, what is its
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

8 Hz, 48 Hz

Explanation:

The standing waves on a string (or inside a pipe, for instance) have different modes of vibrations, depending on how many segments of the string are vibrating.

The fundamental frequency of a standing wave is the frequency of the fundamental mode of vibration; then, the higher modes of vibration are called harmonics. The frequency of the n-th harmonic is given by

f_n = nf_1

where

f_1 is the fundamental frequency

In this problem, we know that the wave's third harmonic has a frequency of

f_3=24 Hz

This means this is the frequency for n = 3. Therefore, we can find the fundamental frequency as:

f_1=\frac{f_3}{3}=\frac{24}{3}=8 Hz

Now we can also find the frequency of the 6-th harmonic using n = 6:

f_6 = 6 f_1 = 6 (8)=48 Hz
