Answer: 1.8

Explanation:

You are given

the object distance U = 24.8 cm

Focal length F = 16.0 cm

First find the image distance by using the formula:

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

Where V = image distance

Substitute u and f into the formula

1/16 = 1/24.8 + 1/v

1/ v = 1/16 - 1/24.8

1/v = 0.0625 - 0.04032258

1/v = 0.022177

Reciprocate both sides by dividing both sides by one

V = 45.09 cm

Magnification M is the ratio of image distance to the object distance. That is,

M = V/U

Substitute V and U into the formula

M = 45.09/24.8

M = 1.818

Magnification of the image is therefore equal to 1.8 approximately

Glass as it is heavier and by newtons first law and inertia the greater the mass = more inertia(resistance to chabge in motion) thus the glass has a greater mass than an empty paper cup and thus has greater inertia. So it would be easier to leave it in place

A soccer player runs up behind a 0.450-kg soccer ball traveling at 3.20 m/s and kicks it in the same direction as it is moving,

NISA [10]

To develop this problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to Impulse.

The impulse is defined as the change in velocity at the rate of mass, that is

$L = m\Delta V,$

Where,

m = Mass

$\Delta V =$ Change in Velocity

This change in velocity can be expressed as,

$L = m(v_2-v_1)$

$L = 0.45*(12.8 - 3.2)$

$L = 0.45*9.6$

$L= 4.32 Kg.m/s$

Therefore the magnitude of the impulse is 4.32 Kg.m/s

777dan777 [17]

-- There are three pairs of mass with gravitational forces between them.

-- The distances between the masses are the same for each pair.

-- The only other quantity that determines the strength of the gravitational
force is the product of the masses.

-- The product of the masses is greatest for the apple and the watermelon,
so the strength of the gravitational force between them is the greatest.

Struggling with this. Can you help?

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Unclear without more information

Explanation:

This is about transfer of energy. If you assume there is no energy lost to the environment (virtually impossible) - then all of the potential energy at the beginning would be transferred to kinetic energy along the route.

So, assuming that the rollercoaster has a velocity of 0 m/s at point A, then you can calculate the potential energy using: $Ep =mgh_A$

At the point D, you would assume that the energy is split between some kinetic energy and some potential energy. So, we could say that the total energy is the sum of these: $Etot=Ep+Ek=mgh_{D} +\frac{mv^2}{2}$

If we assume all energy is transferred (ie. no energy lost to friction/heat etc) then we can equate these two and solve:

$mgh_A=mgh_{D} +\frac{mv^2}{2}\\\\h_D=\frac{(2gh_A-v^2)}{2g} =22.4$

However, this answer seems unlikely given the drawing - which implies that there is perhaps more information that is missing??
