An object is placed a distance of twice the focal length away from a diverging lens. What is the magnification of the image?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the lens equation:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}

where

f is the focal length

p is the distance of the object from the lens

q is the distance of the image from the lens

Here we have a divering lens, so the focal length must be taken as negative (-f). Moreover, we know that the object is placed at a distance of twice the focal length, so

p=2f

So we can find q from the equation:

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{(-f)}-\frac{1}{p}=-\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{2f}=-\frac{3}{2f}\\q=-\frac{2}{3}f

Now we can find the magnification of the image, given by:

M=-\frac{q}{p}=-\frac{-\frac{2}{3}f}{2f}=\frac{1}{3}

A space probe is directly between two moons of a planet. If it is twice as far from moon A as it is from moon B, but the net for
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

c. Moon A is four times as massive as moon B

Explanation:

Let's assume the:

  • mass of the object = m\,kilogram
  • mass of the moon A = M_A\,kilogram
  • mass of the moon B = M_B\,kilogram
  • distance between the center of masses of the object and moon B = r\,meters

According to the given condition the object is twice as far from moon A as it is from moon B

  • ∴distance between the center of masses of the object and moon B = 2r\,meters

<u>As we know, gravitational force of attraction is given by:</u>

F=G\frac{m_1.m_2}{r^2}

<em>According to the condition</em>

Force on m due toM_B=Force on m due toM_A

G\frac{m.M_A}{(2r)^2} =G\frac{m.M_B}{(r)^2}

\frac{M_A}{4r^2} =\frac{M_B}{r^2}

M_A=4M_B
