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

Andre45 [30]

Explanation:

Given: Initial Velocity=0

Final Velocity= 20 m/s

Time= 4 s

Accleration: Unknowns

Use kinematic equation

v   _{f} = v _{i} + at

20 = 0 + at

\frac{20m}{s}  = a(4s)

a =  \frac{5m}{ {s}^{2} }

so a = 5 m/s^2

Are the two displacements equal? Explain your answer.
Sergeu [11.5K]
From the information given in the drawing, it's not possible
to tell whether the displacements are equal, because we
don't know what the vectors represent.

If the vectors are distances, then the displacements are not
equal, because the distance between the start and end points
are not equal.

If the vectors are speeds, then they don't tell us anything about
the distance between the start and end points, so we can't calculate
the displacements.

Define Momentum in detail.
Harrizon [31]

Explanation:

Momentum Is defined as the product of of mass and its velocity

Momentum (M) =mass *velocity

SI unit of momentum is kgm/s

The rate of change in momentum

=change in momentum / time

=(mv-mu)/t
