They are crushed down and melted, the full bottle doesn't get recycled because it is made of toxins so some of each bottle has to be thrown away into some landfill to decompose. But this is bad because plastic toxins take years to decompose and it is adding up

Zielflug [23.3K]

Using the Equation:
v² = vi² + 2 · a · s → Eq.1
where,
v = final velocity
vi = initial velocity
a = acceleration
s = distance

We know that vi = 0 because the ball was at rest initially.

Therefore,

Solving Eq.1 for acceleration,

 v² = vi² + 2 · a · s
v² = 0 + 2 · a · s
v² = 2 · a · s
Rearranging for a,
a = v ²/2·s
Substituting the values,
a = 46²/2×1
a = 1058 m/s²

Now applying Newton's 2nd law of motion,

F = ma
= 0.145×1058

F = 153.4 N

How do your results from ray tracing compare to your results from using the thin-lens equation?

EastWind [94]

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 (image distance can be negative or positive depending on the nature of the image).

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

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