1) Size of the image: 2 cm

In order to calculate the size of the image, we can use the following proportion:

p:q = h_o : h_i

where

p = 80 m is the distance of the tree from the pinhole

q = 20 cm = 0.2 m is the distance of the image from the pinhole

h_o = 8 m is the heigth of the object

h_i is the height of the image

By re-arranging the proportion, we find

h_i = \frac{h_o \cdot q}{p}=\frac{(8 m)(0.2 m)}{80 m}=0.02 m=2 cm


2) Magnification: 0.0025

The magnification of a camera is given by the ratio between the size of the image and the size of the real object:

M=\frac{h_i}{h_o}

so, in this problem we have

M=\frac{0.02 m}{8 m}=0.0025

In a lab experiment a light flexible string is wrapped around a solid cylinder with mass M = 9.50 kg and radius R. The cylinder
Lunna [17]

Answer:3.79 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

Mass M=9.5 kg

m=3 kg

Net Force is equivalent to \sum F=ma

with tension T in the string    

For mass m

mg-T=ma

T=mg-ma--------1

For cylinder

T\cdot R=I\times \alpha

I for solid cylinder is \frac{2}{5}MR^2 , and \alpha =\frac{a}{R}

thus T=\frac{Ma}{2}----2

Substitute the value of T we get

\frac{Ma}{2}=mg-ma

a(\frac{M}{2}+m)=mg

a=\frac{mg}{\frac{M}{2}+m}

a=3.79 m/s^2

*URGENT* Why is understanding motion so important? Be sure to explain in your own words.
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Motion is one of the important issues of Physics. We know that if we are not moving but still earth is moving. Motion is a bit of the machinist's Department of Physics. Several laws are provided for explaining the theory of motion and evolution in motion. The motion and transformation are defined in terms of strength which is wanted for creating an object in a motion state.
