Answer:

A)6.15 cm to the left of the lens

Explanation:

We can solve the problem 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 is the focal length

p is the distance of the object from the lens

In this problem, we have

f=-16.0 cm (the focal length is negative for a diverging lens)

p=10.0 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

Solvign the equation for q, we find

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{-16.0 cm}-\frac{1}{10.0 cm}=-0.163 cm^{-1}

q=\frac{1}{-0.163 cm^{-1}}=-6.15 cm

And the sign (negative) means the image is on the left of the lens, because it is a virtual image, so the correct answer is

A)6.15 cm to the left of the lens

How long does it take a car traveling at 45km/h to travel 100.0 m?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

8 seconds

Explanation:

Since the carspeed is in km/h, we need equal units, so we will make 100.0m 0.1000km.

Then we need to find how long it takes the car to travel 0.1km

We can use the formula distance=speed * time and get

0.1=45 * time

Therefore we get .002222... hours

Multiplying this by 3600 (to get seconds, 60x60), we get 8 seconds

Which items are matter?
Mumz [18]
Without being provided a list of items, I would have to generally say that everything around you is matter. There are a few exceptions to this list, but a general rule of thumb is anything you can touch, taste, smell or hold would be considered matter. Sound, light, time (Dr. Who may disagree) and heat would be considered non-matter items.

How much time does it take light to travel from the moon to the earth, a distance of 384000 km?
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

1.28second

Explanation:

The speed of light is constant everywhere, it is

299,792,458m/s=299,792.458km/s

Therefore it takes

\frac{384000}{299792458}  = 1.28sec

Help fast please!!!!!
inysia [295]

We're told that the planets have EQUAL MASS.

If that's true, then the strength of the gravitational forces between
each planet and the star depends only on the distance between
them ... the farther a planet is from the star, the smaller the
gravitational forces are IF we're talking about planets with
equal masses.

Planet-X is closer to the star, and Planet-Y is farther from it. 
From this we know that the gravitational forces between the
star and Planet-X are greater, and the forces between the star
and Planet-Y are smaller.

'A' says this.

'B' is totally absurd, because it talks about gravity repelling things.

'C' says exactly the opposite for the two planets.

'D' says that distance doesn't matter.  We know this is absurd,
simply because we're never pulled toward Jupiter in our daily life.
