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 sound wave has a frequency of 628 Hz in air
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Answer is 257°C

Explanation:

Given

frequency = 628 Hz

wavelength = 0.49 m

speed of sound at 0°C = 325 m/s

Find

1.speed of sound at t °C=?

2.temperature = ?

Formula

speed of sound at t °C = speed of sound at 0°C   [1+t/273]

Solution

1. speed of sound at t °C = f*∧

                                        = 628*0.49

                                        =307.7m/s

2.speed of sound at t °C = speed of sound at 0°C   [1+t/273]

                    307.7 m/s    = 325 m/s [1+ t/ 273]

                    307.7/325   = 1+t/273

                    0.94             = 1+t/273

              multiplying 273 on both sides

                     (0.94)(273)  = 1+t/273 (273)

                      258             = 1+ t

                       258 - 1        = t

                             257°C    = t

To calculate the change in kinetic energy, you must know the force as a function of _______. The work done by the force causes t
mamaluj [8]

Answer: The force is as a function of Distance

Explanation:

The force and distance must be parallel to each other. Only the component of the force in the same direction as the distance traveled does any work. Hence, if a force applied is perpendicular to the distance traveled, no work is done. The equation becomes force times distance times the cosine of the angle between them.

where both the force F and acceleration are vectors. This makes sense since both force and acceleration have a direction.

On the other hand, the kinetic energy

K=12mv2

looks completely different. It doesn't seem to depend on the direction.
