Answer:
Diverging lens
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Power of lens = -2.0D
Unknown:
Focal length = ?
Solution:
The power of lens is the reciprocal of the focal length;
P = 
where f is the focal length
f = 
=
The lens is a diverging lens
Answer:
14.2 m
Explanation:
Using conservation of energy:
PE at top = KE at bottom
mgh = ½ mv²
h = v² / (2g)
h = (16.7 m/s)² / (2 × 9.8 m/s²)
h = 14.2 m
Using kinematics:
Given:
v₀ = 16.7 m/s
v = 0 m/s
a = -9.8 m/s²
Find: Δy
v² = v₀² + 2aΔy
(0 m/s)² = (16.7 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) Δy
Δy = 14.2 m
