Answer:

The Forces of Flight

At any given time, there are four forces acting upon an aircraft.  

These forces are lift, weight (or gravity), drag and thrust. Lift is  

the key aerodynamic force that keeps objects in the air. It is the  

force that opposes weight; thus, lift helps to keep an aircraft in  

the air. Weight is the force that works vertically by pulling all  

objects, including aircraft, toward the center of the Earth. In order  

to fly an aircraft, something (lift) needs to press it in the opposite  

direction of gravity. The weight of an object controls how strong  

the pressure (lift) will need to be. Lift is that pressure. Drag is a  

mechanical force generated by the interaction and contract of a  

solid body, such as an airplane, with a fluid (liquid or gas). Finally,  

the thrust is the force that is generated by the engines of an  

aircraft in order for the aircraft to move forward.

How do your results from ray tracing compare to your results from using the thin-lens equation?
EastWind [94]

Answer:

20cm

Explanation:

A convex lens has a positive focal length and the object placed in front of it produce both virtual and real image <em>(image distance can be negative or positive depending on the nature of the image</em>).

According to the lens equation

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v} where;

f is the focal length  of the lens

u is the object distance

v is the image distance

If the magnification is - 0.6

mag = v/u = -0.5

v = -0.5u

since v = 10cm

10 = -0.5u

u = -10/0.5

u =-20 cm

Substitute u = -20cm ( due to negative magnification)and v = 10cm into the lens formula to get the focal length f

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{-20} + \frac{1}{10}\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{-20} + \frac{1}{10}\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{-1+2}{20} \\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{20} \\cross \ multiply\\f = 20\\f = 20 cm

Hence the focal length of the convex lens is 20cm

The lowest point in Death Valley is 85 m below sea level. The summit of nearby Mt. Whitney has an elevation of 4420 m.What is th
mario62 [17]

Answer:

\Delta E=2.87\times 10^6\ J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Depth of Death valley is 85 m below sea level, h_i=-85\ m

The summit of nearby Mt. Whitney has an elevation of 4420 m, h_f=4420\ m

Mass of the hiker, m = 65 kg

We need to find the change in potential energy. It is given by :

\Delta E=mg(h_f-h_i)

\Delta E=65\times 9.8(4420-(-85))

\Delta E=2869685\ J

or

\Delta E=2.87\times 10^6\ J

So, the change in potential energy of the hiker is 2.87\times 10^6\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.
