Answer:

a) 1.55 cm

b) 4.25 cm

Explanation:

Given:

Distance between an object and the image = 5.80 cm

Focal length of the lens, f = -2.60 cm

let the image distance be 'v' and the object distance be 'u'

thus,

u + v = 5.80 cm

or

u = 5.80 - v

from the lens formula, we have

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

on substituting the values, we have

\frac{1}{-2.60}=\frac{1}{5.80-v}+\frac{1}{v}

on rearranging, we get

-3.84 × (v × (5.80 - v)) = v + 5.80 - v

or

-2.23v + 3.84v² = 5.80

or

3.84v² - 2.23v - 5.80 = 0

on solving the quadratic equation, we get

v = 1.55 cm

and u = 5.80 - 1.55 = 4.25 cm

hence,

a) 1.55 cm

b) 4.25 cm

A car starts to move from rest and covers a distance of 360m in one minute. Calculate the acceleration of the car.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
<h2>The acceleration of car is 0.2 ms⁻²</h2>

Explanation:

When the car moves , the distance covered is calculated by the relation

S = u t + \frac{1}{2} a t²

In this question u = 0 , because car was at rest initially

Thus S =  \frac{1}{2} a t²

here S is displacement and a is the acceleration of car

Therefore  360 =  \frac{1}{2} a ( 60 )²

Because time taken is one minute or 60 seconds

Therefore a = \frac{360x2}{3600}

or a = 0.2 m s⁻²
