The correct answer is <span>make sure everyone on board is wearing a life jacket. This is done as a safety precaution in case things go bad because there should always be enough lifej ackets for all people aboard. They can remove them later. The procedure is similar to how flights have you wear the seatbelt in the beginning and the end.</span>

v=+24.3cm

The image in formed in this case at a distance of 24.3cm in left of lens.

Case 2.

A point source is placed in between the lens and the mirror at a distance of 40 cm from the lens i.e. the source is placed at the focus of mirror, then the rays after reflection becomes parallel for the lens such that

u=∞

f=15cm

Now, using mirror’s formula

The launch speed of a projectile is three times the speed it has at its maximum height.what is the elevation angle at launch?
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Given: a projectile of initial launch velocity(V) and launch angle ∅ and no air resistance. At the maximum height, the projectile would have a zero contribution of speed from the vertical component(Vy) Therefore, if we say Vx=Vcos∅ is the only speed the projectile has at the instant of maximum height then we can replace Vx with 1/5V and write 1/5V=Vcos∅. Solving for the the launch angle ∅, gives Inverse Cos(1/5)=78.5 degrees.

Briefly describe the history of the metric system as it applies to the meter and how the definition of a meter has changed over
Shalnov [3]

Answer and explanation;

In 1670 Gabriel Mouton, Vicar of St. Paul’s Church and an astronomer proposed the swing  length  of  a  pendulum  with  a  frequency  of  one  beat  per  second  as  the  unit  of length.

In 1791 the Commission of the French Academy of Sciences proposed the name meter to the unit of length. It would equal one tens-millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator along the meridian through Paris.It is realistically represented by the distance between two marks on an iron bar kept in Paris.

In 1889 the 1st General Conference on Weights and Measures define the meter as the distance between two lines on a standard bar that made of an alloy of 90%platinum with 10%iridium.

In 1960 the meter was redefined as 1650763.73 wavelengths of orange-red light, in a vacuum, produced by burning the element krypton (Kr-86).

In 1984 the Geneva Conference on Weights and Measures has  defined  the  meter  as  the  distance  light  travels,  in  a  vacuum,  in 1299792458⁄ seconds  with  time  measured  by  a  cesium-133  atomic  clock  which  emits  pulses  of radiation at very rapid, regular intervals.

How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of small vehicle compared to a large vehicle
Nadusha1986 [10]
The kinetic energy for a large vehicle is different from that of a smaller vehicle, assuming that the vehicles are travelling at the same speed and stopping the same distance. This is because for a larger vehicle the kinetic energy is higher, as the mass for a larger vehicle, is more than the smaller vehicle.
