If earth had no atmosphere would a falling object ever reach terminal velocity

1 answer:

6 0

Terminal velocity is caused by friction between an object and the atmosphere, causing it to only go so fast. If there is no atmosphere, there is no friction between the object, so it will accelerate forever.

an object is placed 15.8 cm in front of a thin converging lens with an unknown focal length. if a real image forms behind the le

storchak [24]

On what:

f (is the focal length of the lens) = ?
p (is the distance from the object to the lens) =15.8 cm
p' (is the distance from the image to the spherical lens) = 4.2 cm

Using the Gaussian equation, to know where the object is situated (distance from the point).

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{p'}$
$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{15.8} + \frac{1}{4.2}$
$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{2.1}{33.18} + \frac{7.9}{33.18}$
$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{10}{33.18}$
Product of extremes equals product of means:
$10*f = 1*33.18$
$10f = 33.18$
$f = \frac{33.18}{10}$
$\boxed{\boxed{f = 3.318\:cm}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$
