1. A cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds. What is hisacceleration?
1 answer:
The cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds with an acceleration of 3 m/s².
Answer:
Explanation:
Acceleration exerted by an object is the measure of change in speed or velocity of that object with respect to time. So the initial and final velocities play a major role in determining the acceleration of the cyclist. As here the initial velocity of the cyclist is the speed at rest and that is given as 0 m/s. Then after 3 seconds, the velocity of the cyclist changes to 9 m/s.
Then acceleration = change in velocity/Time.
Acceleration = (9-0)/3=9/3=3 m/s².
So the cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds with an acceleration of 3 m/s².

Explanation:
everything can be found in the picture
a) 50.8 mm
b) The whole image (1:1)
c) It seems reasonable
Explanation:
a)
To project the image on the film, the distance of the film from the lens must be equal to the distance of the image from the lens. This can be found by using the lens equation:
where
f is the focal length of the lens
p is the distance of the object from the lens
q is the distance of the image from the lens
In this problem:
f = 50.0 mm = 0.050 m is the focal length (positive for a convex lens)
p = 3.00 m is the distance of the person from the lens
Therefore, we can find q:
b)
Here we need to find the height of the image first.
This can be done by using the magnification equation:
where:
y' is the height of the image
y = 1.75 m is the height of the real person
q = 50.8 mm = 0.0508 m is the distance of the image from the lens
p = 3.00 m is the distance of the person from the lens
Solving for y', we find:
(the negative sign means the image is inverted)
Therefore, the size of the image (29.6 mm) is smaller than the size of the film (36.0 mm), so the whole image can fit into the film.
c)
This seems reasonable: in fact, with a 50.0 mm focal length, if we try to take the picture of a person at a distance of 3.00 m, we are able to capture the whole image of the person in the photo.
