Answer is A. They converge at the focal point

Explanation:

The imaginary line passing through the center of the lens is called the principal axis of the lens.

If the incoming light rays comes parallel to the principal axis of a convex lens, then after refraction it will pass through the principal focus on the other side of the lens. All the rays meet at the focal point.

The rays of light converge after refraction converge at a point and that point is called as the principal force of the lens.

Nostrana [21]
The given from your problem are the following:
V = 85mph (This is miles per hour)
d = 60 feet

If you notice the units do not match. Before we can do anything else, we need to make the figures match. 

In this case, we will convert 85miles per hour to feet per hour.  There are 5,280 feet in 1 mile. 
\frac{85miles }{hr} x \frac{5,280feet}{1miles} = \frac{448,800feet}{hr}

But wait! If you think about the scenario, you are looking for how long it will take for the ball to reach the bat. The most applicable unit of time to use here is second. It would be very hard to really measure a short and instantaneous event in hours. So we convert it into feet per second: 

There are 3,600 seconds in 1 hour.

\frac{448,800feet }{hour} x \frac{1hour}{3,600seconds} = \frac{448,800feet}{3,600 seconds} = 124.67ft/s

So now we have our new given as:

v = 124.67ft/s
d = 60 ft

The formula for time can be derived from the formula from velocity, which is:
velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

The formula of time will then be:
time= \frac{distance}{velocity}

All you need to do is plug in what you know and solve for what you don't know. 

time= \frac{60feet}{124.67ft/s}

time= 0.48s

The answer then is 0.48s.

If you want this in hours, just divide the value in seconds by 3,600. The answer would then be 0.00013hr. (See how small it is? This is why seconds would be a more appropriate measure.)

What two factors affect the rate of acceleration of an object?
Masja [62]

For help with this answer, we look to Newton's second law of motion:

     Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Since the question seems to focus on acceleration, let's get
'acceleration' all alone on one side of the equation, so we can
really see what's going on.

Here's the equation again:

                                                 Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by 'mass',
and we have:                            Acceleration = (force) / (mass) .

Now the answer jumps out at us:  The rate of acceleration of an object
is determined by the object's mass and by the strength of the net force
acting on the object.
