Answer:

the magnitude of Vpg = 493.711 km/h

Explanation:

given data

speed Vpg = 560 km/h

speed Vwg = 80 km/h

solution

we get here magnitude of the plane velocity w.r.t. ground is

we know that the Vpg = Vpw + Vwg       .....................1

writing the component of the velocity that is

Vpw = (0 km/h î - 560 km/h j )

Vwg = (80 cos 45 km/h î + 80 sin 45 km/h j)

adding these

Vpg = (0+80 cos 45 km/h ) î  + ( -560 + 80 sin 45 km/h j)i

Vpg = (42.025 )  î  (-491.92 km/h)j

now we take magnitude

the magnitude of Vpg = \sqrt{(42.025^2+(-491.92)^2)} km/h

the magnitude of Vpg = 493.711 km/h

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 <em>(image distance can be negative or positive depending on the nature of the image</em>).

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

Hence the focal length of the convex lens is 20cm

This graph describes the motion of a sky diver that jumped from an airplane. The skydiver is MOST LIKELY ?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

A) being influenced by equal amounts of gravity and air resistance.

Explanation:

B) slowing down because of an unbalanced force of air resistance.

False - if it was slowing down, then the velocity would go down.

D) on the ground and is not falling anymore.

False - This would be mistaken as the answer but it is not because if the person is not falling anymore the horizontal line should be at the x-axis, meaning that there is no more velocity.

C) accelerating because of an unbalanced force of gravity.

False - The line would otherwise be going up or down.
