Answer:

The meteor accelerates

Explanation:

Let's see the options:

- the meteor travels downward relative to Earth, that is, from the sky to the Earth.

- The meteor is affected by Earth’s gravitational force field, which attracts it to Earth.

- As a consequence of the previous item, it suffers acceleration (Earth gravitational acceleration), and then, its velocity is not constant.

An object is 15 cm in front of a diverging lens with a

Rainbow [258]

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:

$\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}$

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,

$\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{-10 cm}-\frac{1}{15 cm}=-0.167 cm^{-1}$

$q=\frac{1}{-0.167 cm^{-1}}=-6.0 cm$

B) The image is upright

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

$h_i = - h_o \frac{q}{p}$

where $h_i, h_o$ are the size of the image and of the object, respectively.

Since q < 0 and p > o, we have that $h_i >0$ , 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

In a local bar, a customer slides an empty beer mug down the counter for a refill. The height of the counter is 1.42 m. The mug

telo118 [61]

Answer:

a) $V_{x}=3.72m/s$ , b) ∠=-54.83°

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must start with a drawing of the situation, this will help us visualize the problem better. (See picture attached).

a)

Now, the idea is that the beer mug has a horizontal speed and no vertical speed at initial conditions. So knowing this, we can start finding the initial velocity of the mug.

In order to do so, we need to find the time it takes for the mug to reach the ground. We can find it by using the following equation:

$y=y_{0}+V_{y0}t+\frac{1}{2}a_{y}t^{2}$

We can see from the drawing that y and the initial velocity in y are zero, so we can simplify our formula:

$0=y_{0}+\frac{1}{2}a_{y}t^{2}$

so we can solve for t, so we get:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-(2)y_{0}}{a}}$

so now we can substitute the known values, so we get:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-(2)(1.42)}{-9.8}}$

which yields:

t=0.538s

So we can use this value to find the velocity in x:

$V_{x}=\frac{x}{t}$

When substituting we get:

$V_{x}=\frac{2m}{0.538s}$

which yields:

$V_{x}=3.72m/s$

b)

In order to solve part b, we need to find the y-component of the velocity, for which we can use the following formula:

$\Delta y=\frac{V_{f}^{2}-V_{0}^{2}}{2a}$

We know that $V_{0}$ is zero, so we can simplify the expression:

$\Delta y=\frac{V_{yf}^{2}}{2a}$

So we can solve the equation for $V_{yf}^{2}$ so we get:

$V_{yf}=\sqrt{2\Delta y a}$

and when substituting the known values we get:

$V_{yf}=\sqrt{2(-1.42m)(-9.8m/s^{2})}$

which yields:

$V_{yf}=-5.28m/s$

Once we got the final velocity in y, we can use it together with the velocity in x to find the angle.

So we can use the following formula:

$tan \theta =\frac{V_{y}}{V_{x}}$

when solving for theta we get:

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{V_{y}}{V_{x}})$

We can substitute so we get:

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{-5.28m/s}{3.72m/s})$

which yields:

$\theta = -54.83^{o}$
