1) Size of the image: 2 cm
In order to calculate the size of the image, we can use the following proportion:
where
p = 80 m is the distance of the tree from the pinhole
q = 20 cm = 0.2 m is the distance of the image from the pinhole
= 8 m is the heigth of the object
is the height of the image
By re-arranging the proportion, we find
2) Magnification: 0.0025
The magnification of a camera is given by the ratio between the size of the image and the size of the real object:
so, in this problem we have
Answer:
The force has been reduced by 8018 N
Explanation:
The impulse exerted on the car during the crash is equal to the product of the force exerted and the duration of the collision, and it is also equal to the change in momentum of the car. So we can write:
where:
F is the force exerted on the car
is the duration of the collision
m = 1400 kg is the mass of the car
is the change in velocity of the car
We can re-write the equation as
In the 1st collision, the time is 1.5 seconds, so the force is
In the 2nd collision, the time is increased to 2.2 seconds, so the force is
Therefore, the force has been reduced by:
