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 student drops a ball off the top of building and records that the ball takes 3.32s to reach the ground (g = 9.8 m/s^2). What i
slega [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Here's what we know because it was given to us:

a = -9.8 m/s/s and

time = 3.32 seconds

Here's what we know because we rock physics:

v₀ = 0 (because the object was held still before it was dropped).

Here's the equation that ties all that info together in a single one-dimensional equation:

v = v₀ + at

Filling in and solving for v:

v = 0 + (-9.8)(3.32) and

v = -33m/s

The velocity is negative because the object is moving downwards and up is positive (but you knew that already too!)

a cyclist must travel 800 km. how many days will the trip take if the cyclist travels 8/h day at an average speed of 16km/h
sergey [27]
It would b 6 days and 6 hours
You would times 16 by 8 which gives 128km a day. To find how many days you would divide 800 by how many kilometres they cover a day which is 128
So 800/128 =6.25 which converts to 6 days and 6 hours.
