Answer:

20cm

Explanation:

A convex lens has a positive focal length and the object placed in front of it produce both virtual and real image <em>(image distance can be negative or positive depending on the nature of the image</em>).

According to the lens equation

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

f is the focal length  of the lens

u is the object distance

v is the image distance

If the magnification is - 0.6

mag = v/u = -0.5

v = -0.5u

since v = 10cm

10 = -0.5u

u = -10/0.5

u =-20 cm

Substitute u = -20cm ( due to negative magnification)and v = 10cm into the lens formula to get the focal length f

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{-20} + \frac{1}{10}\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{-20} + \frac{1}{10}\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{-1+2}{20} \\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{20} \\cross \ multiply\\f = 20\\f = 20 cm

Hence the focal length of the convex lens is 20cm

denpristay [2]
Answer= 8m/s

Because total Momentum before= total momentum after

Momentum before (p=mu)
p=(4)(12)= 48
p=2(0)=0
So total momentum before=48

Momentum after (p=mu)
Masses combined —2+4=6kg
p=6u


Mb=Ma
48=6u
u=8m/s
