Answer:

The focal length of the lens is 2.5 cm

Explanation:

Use the two equations for thin lenses combined: the one for magnification (m), and the one that relates distances of object d_o, of image d_i, and focal length;

m=\frac{h_i}{h_o} =-\frac{d_i}{d_o} \\  \\\frac{1}{d_i} +\frac{1}{d_o} =\frac{1}{f}

Since we know the value of the magnification (m), we can write the image distance in terms of the object distance, and then use it to replace the image distance in the second equation:

m=-\frac{d_i}{d_o} \\2.5=-\frac{d_i}{d_o}\\d_i=-2.5\,d_o

then, solving for the focal distance knowing that the object distance is 1.5 cm:

\frac{1}{d_i} +\frac{1}{d_o} =\frac{1}{f}\\-\frac{1}{2.5\,d_o} +\frac{1}{d_o} =\frac{1}{f}\\(2.5\,d_o\,f)\,(-\frac{1}{2.5\,d_o} +\frac{1}{d_o}) =\frac{1}{f}\,(2.5\,d_o\,f)\\-f+2.5\,f=2.5\,d_o\\1.5\,f=2.5\,d_o\\f=\frac{2.5\,d_o}{1.5} \\f=\frac{2.5\,(1.5\,\,cm)}{1.5}\\f=2.5\,\,cm

In August 2011, the Juno spacecraft was launched from Earth with the mission of orbiting Jupiter in 2016. The closest distance b
Vikentia [17]

(a) 8927 mi/h

In order to calculate the average speed, we need to convert the time (t=5.0 y) into hours first. In 1 year, we have 365 days, each day consisting of 24 hours, so the time taken is:

t=(5.0 y)(365 d/y)(24 h/d)=43,800 h

The distance covered by the spacecraft is

d=391 mil. mi = 391\cdot 10^6 mi

Therefore, the average speed is just the ratio between the distance covered and the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{391\cdot 10^6 mi}{43,800 h}=8,927 mi/h

(b) 35 minutes (2097 seconds)

The transmitted signals (which is a radio wave, which is an electromagnetic wave) travels back to the Earth at the speed of light:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

Since 1 miles = 1609 metres, the distance covered  by the signal is

d=391\cdot 10^6 mi \cdot (1609 m/mi)=6.29\cdot 10^{11} m

So, the time taken by the signal will be

t=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{6.29\cdot 10^{11} m}{3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s}=2097 s

And since 1 minute = 60 sec, the time taken is

t=2097 s \cdot \frac{1}{60 s/min}\sim 35 min

pogonyaev
1. The signs of the velocities of the balls were changed, this is a result of the elastic collision between the two balls. The law involved in here is the Law of Interaction.
2. During the elastic collision, the momentum is conserved. 
3. The velocity would be lower. There is a tendency for these balls to stick together.

Why are power cords coated with a material that has different physical properties than the wire inside?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Power cords are conductors and are covered by insulators. If they were not, then it would be easy to create a short-circuit. It would also be not safe, as a person touching the bare wires would be electricuted.
