Answer: height of building = 18.8m

Explanation: The question is a projectile motion, a two dimensional motion with a vertical constant acceleration (g = - 9.8m/s²) and a constant horizontal velocity (thus making horizontal component of acceleration zero).

From the question, distance between bottom of building and where the object lands = 64m, initial velocity for throwing the object = 19.6m/s

The horizontal range formulae is given as

d= vt

Where d= horizontal range = 64m, v = initial velocity of throw.

64 = 19.6 × t

t = 64/ 19.6

t = 3.265 s.

Height (h) of the building is gotten by using the formulae

h =vt - 1/2gt²

h = (19.6×3.265) - 1/2×9.8×(3.265)²

h = 71.05 - (104.47/2)

h = 71.05 - 52.235

h = 18.8m

Two converging lenses are placed 30 cm apart. The focal length of the lens on the right is 20 cm while the focal length of the l
Masja [62]

Answer:

a)   I2 = 3 (o-10) / (o- 30) , b)   h ’/h=  3 (o-10) / o (o-30)

Explanation:

The builder's equation is

          1 / f = 1 / o + 1 / i

Where f is the focal length, or e i are the distance to the object and image, respectively

As the separation between the lenses is greater than the focal distances, we must work them individually and separately. Let's start with the leftmost lens with focal length f = 15 cm

Let's calculate the position of the image of this lens

         1 / i1 = 1 / f - 1 / o

         1 / i1 = 1/15 - 1 / o

         i1 = o 15 / (o-15)

Let's calculate the distance to the image of the second lens, for this the image of the first is the distance to the object of the second

        o2 = d-i1

We write the builder equation

       1 / f2 = 1 / o2 + 1 / i2

       1 / i2 = 1 / f2 -1 / o2

       1 / i2 = 1 / f2 - 1 / (d-i1)

       1 / i2 = 1/20 - 1 / (d-i1)            (1)

Let's evaluate the last term

      d-i1 = d - 15 o / (o-15)

      d-i1 = (d (o-15) - 15 o) / (o-15)

      d- i1 = (30 or -30 15 -15 o) / (o-15)

      d-i1 = (15 or - 450) / (o- 15)

      d-i1 = = (15 or -450) / (o-15)

replace in 1

      1 / i2 = 1/20 - (or - 15) / (15 or -450)

      1 / i2 = [(15 o-450) - (o-15) 20] / (15 or -150)

      1 / i2 = (15 or - 450 - 20 or + 300) / (15 or - 150)

      1 / i2 = (-5 or -150) / (15 or -150)

      1 / i2 = (or -30) / (3 or - 30)

      I2 = 3 (o-10) / (o- 30)

Part B

The height of the image, we use the magnification equation

     m = h ’/ h = - i / o

     h ’= - h i / o

In our case

     h ’= h i2 / o

     h ’= h 3 (o-10) / o (o-30)

If they give the distance to the object it is easier
