For the image of the overhead projector to be in focus, the distance from the projector lens to the image, <img src="https://tex
rjkz [21]
Given:
distance from the projector lens to the image, di
projector lens focal length, f
distance from the transparency to the projector lens, do

thin lens equation: 1/f = 1/di + 1/do
do = 4 inches
di = 8 feet

convert feet to inches, for uniformity.
1 foot = 12 inches
8 feet * 12 inches/ft = 96 inches
 
1/f = 1/96 inches + 1/4 inches

Adding fractions, denominator must be the same.

1/f = (1/96 * 1/1) + (1/4 * 24/24)
1/f = 1/96 + 24/96
1/f = 25/96

to find the value of f, do cross multiplication
1*96 = f * 25
96 = 25f
96/25 = f
3.84 = f

The focal length of the project lens is 3.84 inches

Two ice skaters stand in the middle of an ice rink. Drew has a mass of 75 kg, and Lily has a mass of 55 kg. Drew holds Lily, and
ss7ja [257]

PART a)

Before Drew throw Lily in forwards direction they both stays at rest

So initial speed of both of them is zero

So here we can say that initial momentum of both of them is zero

So total momentum of the system initially = ZERO

PART b)

Since there is no external force on the system of two

so there will be no change in the momentum of this system and it will remain same as initial momentum

So final momentum of both of them will be ZERO

PART c)

As we know that momentum of both will be zero always

so we have

P_1 + P_2 = 0

75(v) + 55(2) = 0

v = 1.47 m/s in opposite direction
