Two children use a homemade "telephone" consisting of two paper cups attached by an aluminum wire which is 8.4 m long. Determine

the time for the "sound" to travel from one cup to the other. How does this compare with the time for sound to travel the same distance through air? (speed of sound in aluminum is 5100 m/s, in air is 343 m/s)

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance over wire of aluminium d = 8.4 m

velocity of sound in aluminium = 5100 m /s

time required = distance / velocity

= 8.4 / 5100 s

= .001647 s

velocity of sound in air = 343 m /s

time required = distance / velocity

= 8.4 / 343 s

= .024489 s

Difference of time

= .024489 - .001647

= .022842 s

= 22.842 ms .

An object is held 24.8 cm from a lens of focal length 16.0 cm. What is the magnification of the image?
Gwar [14]

Answer: 1.8

Explanation:

You are given

the object distance U = 24.8 cm

Focal length F = 16.0 cm

First find the image distance by using the formula:

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

Where V = image distance

Substitute u and f into the formula

1/16 = 1/24.8 + 1/v

1/ v = 1/16 - 1/24.8

1/v = 0.0625 - 0.04032258

1/v = 0.022177

Reciprocate both sides by dividing both sides by one

V = 45.09 cm

Magnification M is the ratio of image distance to the object distance. That is,

M = V/U

Substitute V and U into the formula

M = 45.09/24.8

M = 1.818

Magnification of the image is therefore equal to 1.8 approximately
