Answer:

2f

Explanation:

The formula for the object - image relationship of thin lens is given as;

1/s + 1/s' = 1/f

Where;

s is object distance from lens

s' is the image distance from the lens

f is the focal length of the lens

Total distance of the object and image from the lens is given as;

d = s + s'

We earlier said that; 1/s + 1/s' = 1/f

Making s' the subject, we have;

s' = sf/(s - f)

Since d = s + s'

Thus;

d = s + (sf/(s - f))

Expanding this, we have;

d = s²/(s - f)

The derivative of this with respect to d gives;

d(d(s))/ds = (2s/(s - f)) - s²/(s - f)²

Equating to zero, we have;

(2s/(s - f)) - s²/(s - f)² = 0

(2s/(s - f)) = s²/(s - f)²

Thus;

2s = s²/(s - f)

s² = 2s(s - f)

s² = 2s² - 2sf

2s² - s² = 2sf

s² = 2sf

s = 2f

How much gravitational potential energy does a 45.2 kg object have when it is 21.9m above the ground?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational potential energy is

Ep = m · g · h   Assuming that the acceleration is g = 10m/s²

Ep = 45.4 · 10 · 21.9 = 9,942.6 J
