A 80-cm-wide object seen through an optical device appears inverted and 50 cm wide. What is the magnification of the optical dev
1 answer:
The magnification is the ratio between the size of the image 
and the size of the original object 
:
The sign of the magnification contains another piece of information: if it's positive, then the image is upright, if it's negative, the image is inverted. In our problem, the image is inverted, so the magnification will have a negative sign, and it will be

The final velocity of the skater is 2.34 m/s forward
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum of the system before and after the ball is thrown must be conserved, in absence of external forces.
Before the ball is thrown, the total momentum is:
where
M = 61 kg is the mass of the skater
m = 4.0 kg is the mass of the ball
u = 2.5 m/s (forward) is the combined velocity of the skater and the ball
After, the ball is thrown at twice the velocity, so the final total momentum is
where
V is the final velocity of the skater
v = 2(2.5) = 5.0 is the final velocity of the ball
Since the total momentum must be conserved, we can write
So, the skater is moving at 2.34 m/s (forward) after the shot.
