The eyepiece of a compound telescope has a focal length of 12 cm and the objective lens has a focal length of 16 m. What is the

overall magnification of the telescope?

Answer:

The magnification is 133X

Explanation:

For a refractor telescope using convex lenses, the overall magnification os calculated as by dividing the focal length of the objective by that  of the eyepiece.

M = \frac{f(obj)}{f(eye)}

So:

M = \frac{16 m}{12 cm}

Care must be taken with the units, in this case they are in meters and centimeters, they should be converted into the same unit before calculating:

M = \frac{16 m}{0.12 m} = 133

spayn [35]

Answer:

The height of the image will be "1.16 mm".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Object distance, u = 25 cm

Focal distance, f = 1.8 cm

On applying the lens formula, we get

⇒  \frac{1}{v} -\frac{1}{u} =\frac{1}{f}

On putting estimate values, we get

⇒  \frac{1}{v} -\frac{1}{(-25)} =\frac{1}{1.8}

⇒  \frac{1}{v} =\frac{1}{1.8} -\frac{1}{25}

⇒  v=1.94 \ cm

As a result, the image would be established mostly on right side and would be true even though v is positive.

By magnification,

m=\frac{v}{u} and m=\frac{h_{1}}{h_{0}}

⇒  \frac{v}{u} =\frac{h_{1}}{h_{0}}

⇒  \frac{1.94}{25}=\frac{{h_{1}}}{15}

⇒  {h_{1}}=1.16 \ mm

A ball is dropped from a cliff. determine how far the ball fell after 7.5 seconds
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The ball fell 275.625 meters after 7.5 seconds

Explanation:

<u>Free fall </u>

If an object is left on free air (no friction), it describes an accelerated motion in the vertical direction, powered exclusively by the acceleration of gravity. The formulas needed to compute the different magnitudes involved are

V_f=gt

\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

Where V_f is the final speed of the object in free fall, assumed positive downwards, t is the time elapsed since the release and y is the vertical distance traveled by the object

The ball was dropped from a cliff. We need to calculate the vertical distance the ball went down in t=7.5 seconds. We'll use the formula

\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

\displaystyle y=\frac{(9.8)(7.5)^2}{2}

Y=275.625\ m

Starting from rest, a 2.1x10-4 kg flea springs straight upward. While the flea is pushing off from the ground, the ground exerts
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

1.327363 m/s

0.00090243 m

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

m = Mass of flea

Energy

E=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\Rightarrow 3.7\times 10^{-4}=2.1\times 10^{-4}(v^2-0)\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{3.7\times 10^{-4}}{2.1\times 10^{-4}}}\\\Rightarrow v=1.32736\ m/s

The velocity of the flea when leaving the ground is 1.327363 m/s

W=F\times s\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{W}{F}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{3.7\times 10^{-4}}{0.41}\\\Rightarrow s=0.00090243\ m

The flea will travel 0.00090243 m upward
