<span>On what:

f (is the focal length of the lens) = ? 
p (is the distance from the object to the lens) =15.8 cm
p' (is the distance from the image to the spherical lens) = 4.2 cm

</span><span>Using the Gaussian equation, to know where the object is situated (distance from the point).
</span>
\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{p'}
\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{15.8} + \frac{1}{4.2}
\frac{1}{f} = \frac{2.1}{33.18} + \frac{7.9}{33.18}
\frac{1}{f} =  \frac{10}{33.18}
Product of extremes equals product of means:
10*f = 1*33.18
10f = 33.18
f =  \frac{33.18}{10}
\boxed{\boxed{f = 3.318\:cm}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

A rocket sled accelerates from 10 m/s to 40 m/s in 2 seconds. What is the average acceleration of the sled?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

15m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 10m/s

Final velocity  = 40m/s

Time taken  = 2s

Unknown:

Average acceleration  = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time;

 Acceleration  = \frac{Final velocity   -  Initial velocity }{time}  

  Acceleration = \frac{40 - 10}{2}    = 15m/s²

The roller coaster is designed according to safety regulations that prohibit the speed of the car from exceeding 20 m/s. find th
hram777 [196]

maximum allowed value of the speed in roller coaster is given as

v = 20 m/s

now from kinematics we can say

v^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a s

here initial speed will be

v_i = 0

acceleration is due to gravity

a = 9.8 m/s^2

now we can use this to find the height

20^2 - 0^2 = 2 * 9.8* h

400 = 19.6 *h

h = 20.4 m

so maximum allowed height will be 20.4 m
