Two bicyclists start twenty miles apart and head toward each other, each going at a steady rate of 10 m.p.h. At the same time, a

fly that travels at a steady 15 m.p.h. starts from the front wheel of the southbound bicycle and flies to the front wheel of the northbound one, then turns around and flies to the front wheel of the southbound one again, and continues in this manner till he is crushed between the two front wheels. Question: what total distance did the fly cover?

Answer:

15 miles

Explanation:

Speed of both bicyclists is 10 mph

Speed of fly is 15 mph

Time they both will meet at is t

Distance they are apart is 20 miles

Distance = Speed×Time

10t+10t=20\\\Rightarrow 20t=20\\\Rightarrow t=1\ h

The time after which they will meet is 1 hour.

The distance traveled by the fly in hour is

15\times 1=15\ mi

The total distance fly covered is 15 miles

A ray diagram without the produced image is shown.
4vir4ik [10]

A car acting as an object in front of a biconvex lens between F and 2 F on the object side of the lens. There is a light ray parallel to the principal axis that is bent through F on the image side of the lens. There is a ray straight through the center of the lens. The rays intersect below the x axis further than 2 F away from the lens and farther from the principal axis than the object is tall.

<u> The image produced by the lens is (b) inverted and real</u>

Explanation:

A real image occurs where the rays converge.

Real images can be produced both by the  concave mirrors or  converging lenses, but the condition is that the object of consideration is always  placed far  away from the mirror or the lens than the focal point, and thus the  real image produced is inverted.
