A brick is dropped with zero initial speed from the roof of a building and strikes the ground in 1.90 s. How tall is the buildin
1 answer:
Answer:
17.69 m
Explanation:
The time it takes the brick to strike the ground is 1.90 seconds.
We can apply one of Newton's equation of linear motion to find the height of the building:
where s = distance (in this case height)
u = initial velocity = 0 m/s
t = time = 1.90 s
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2
Therefore:
s = (0 * 1.9) + (0.5 * 9.8 * 1.9 * 1.9)
s = 0 + 17.68
s = 17.69 m
The height of the building is 17.69 m.

A) See ray diagram in attachment (-6.0 cm)
By looking at the ray diagram, we see that the image is located approximately at a distance of 6-7 cm from the lens. This can be confirmed by using the lens equation:
where
q is the distance of the image from the lens
f = -10 cm is the focal length (negative for a diverging lens)
p = 15 cm is the distance of the object from the lens
Solving for q,
B) The image is upright
As we see from the ray diagram, the image is upright. This is also confirmed by the magnification equation:
where are the size of the image and of the object, respectively.
Since q < 0 and p > o, we have that , which means that the image is upright.
C) The image is virtual
As we see from the ray diagram, the image is on the same side of the object with respect to the lens: so, it is virtual.
This is also confirmed by the sign of q in the lens equation: since q < 0, it means that the image is virtual
