Answer:
Displacement
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Kinematics</u>
- Displacement vs Total Distance
Explanation:
Displacement is the difference between the start position and end position.
Total Distance is the entire distance <em>traveled</em> between the start and end position.
Topic: AP Physics 1 Algebra-Based
Unit: Kinematics
So I'm a junior. I am currently taking AP Calc BC and AP Physics B.
As of now, I'm not sure if I should take AP Probability and Statistics or Differential Equations/Calc III next year. Also, I'm debating between taking AP Physics C or AP Chemistry.
Which ones do you think would look better on a transcript? I heard that Diffeq/CalcIII is harder than AP ProbStat, but ProbStat is an AP course which will be weighted heavier. Also, should I take Physics C since i've taken Physics B this year already?
Answer:
2.6h
Explanation:
I attached the image below of the work hope you can see it. Hope this helps!
A) See ray diagram in attachment (-6.0 cm)
By looking at the ray diagram, we see that the image is located approximately at a distance of 6-7 cm from the lens. This can be confirmed by using the lens equation:

where
q is the distance of the image from the lens
f = -10 cm is the focal length (negative for a diverging lens)
p = 15 cm is the distance of the object from the lens
Solving for q,


B) The image is upright
As we see from the ray diagram, the image is upright. This is also confirmed by the magnification equation:

where
are the size of the image and of the object, respectively.
Since q < 0 and p > o, we have that
, which means that the image is upright.
C) The image is virtual
As we see from the ray diagram, the image is on the same side of the object with respect to the lens: so, it is virtual.
This is also confirmed by the sign of q in the lens equation: since q < 0, it means that the image is virtual
