In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.22 m/s, due west. This average velocity results be

cause she hikes for 6.44 km with an average velocity of 2.53 m/s, due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.445 m/s, due east. How far east did she walk?
Can someone please help me please? I really really need help on this please!!!!

Wow! 2.95m/s is a mighty fast pace for a backpacker. Must have one of those Star Wars anti-gravity packs. Also, I would be curious as to why she passed her destination and then walked back. 
<span>Anyway, it goes like this: </span>
<span>Say the time walking east is 't', and the total time is 'T'. </span>
<span>Then 5340 m + .511 t = 1.43 T </span>
<span>(This assumes that velocity is positive in both directions) </span>
<span>Two unknowns in one equation. But you also know that the time spent walking west is </span>
<span>5340m/ 2.95m/s = 1810 sec. </span>
<span>and the total time T = 1810 +t </span>
<span>Substitute this into the first equation, and you can solve for t = 3092 sec. </span>
<span>Then T = 4902 sec. and distance walked east is .511t = 1580m.</span>

A convex lens has a focal length of 16.5 cm. Where on the lens axis should an object be placed in order to get a virtual, enlarg
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Object should be placed at a distance, u = 7.8 cm

Given:

focal length of convex lens, F = 16.5 cm

magnification, m = 1.90

Solution:

Magnification of lens, m = -\frac{v}{u}

where

u = object distance

v = image distance

Now,

1.90 = \frac{v}{u}

v = - 1.90u

To calculate the object distance, u by lens maker formula given by:

\frac{1}{F} = \frac{1}{u}+ \frac{1}{v}

\frac{1}{16.5} = \frac{1}{u}+ \frac{1}{- 1.90u}

\frac{1}{16.5} = \frac{1.90 - 1}{1.90u}

\frac{1}{16.5} = \frac{ 0.90}{1.90u}

u = 7.8 cm

Object should be placed at a distance of 7.8 cm on the axis of the lens to get virtual and enlarged image.
