A "biconvex" lens is one in which both surfaces of the lens bulge outwards. Suppose you had a biconvex lens with radii of curvat

ure with magnitudes of |R1|=10cm and |R2|=15cm. The lens is made of glass with index of refraction nglass=1.5. We will employ the convention that R1 refers to the radius of curvature of the surface through which light will enter the lens, and R2 refers to the radius of curvature of the surface from which light will exit the lens.
C) What is the focal length of the lens if it is immersed in water (nwater = 1.3)
f= ____________ cm

What is the focal length f of this lens in air (index of refraction for air is nair=1)?

The focal length of the lens submerged in water is 150 cm, and in air, it is 60 cm. The calculation utilizes the equation 1/f = (Refractive index of the glass - Refractive index of the medium) x [ 1/R1 - 1/R2], whereby R1 refers to the radius of curvature entering the lens, and R2 pertains to the radius of curvature exiting it.

The focal length of the lens while in water is noted to be 150 cm, whereas in air, it measures 60 cm. To derive these values, the formula incorporates the variations in the refractive index of glass compared to that of the surrounding medium.

A ski lift is used to transport people from the base of a hill to the top. If the lift leaves the base at a velocity of 15.5 m/s
Yuliya22 [2968]
This can be determined using the principle of energy conservation. The ski lift begins with a velocity of v= 15.5 m/s, and all of its kinetic energy Ek converts into potential energy Ep, thus we set Ep equal to Ek.
Because Ek is given by (1/2)*m*v², where m denotes mass and v represents speed, while Ep equals m*g*h, where m is mass, g is 9.81 m/s², and h is height. Now:

Ek=Ep 

(1/2)*m*v²=m*g*h, canceling out the mass,

(1/2)*v²=g*h, rearranging for height by dividing by g,

(1/2*g)*v²=h and substituting the values:

h=12.245 m. The hill's height rounded to the nearest tenth is h=12.25 m.

A man makes a 27.0 km trip in 16 minutes. (a.) How far was the trip in miles? (b.) If the speed limit was 55 miles per hour, wa
Maru [2979]

Answer:

(a) 16.777 miles

(b) Yes, he exceeded the speed limit

Explanation:

(a)

We need to perform the necessary calculations to convert kilometers to miles:

27km*\frac{1000m}{1km} *\frac{1mi}{1609.34m} =16.77706389mi

Thus, the distance of the trip in miles is:

d=16.77706389mi

(b)

Next, we will compute the man's speed during the journey:

v=\frac{d}{t}

Before that, we must convert minutes to hours:

16min*\frac{1h}{60min} =2.666666667h

The resulting speed is:

v=\frac{16.77706389mi}{2.666666667h} =62.91398959\frac{mi}{h}

Consequently:

62.91398959\frac{mi}{h}>55\frac{mi}{h}

Thus, it can be concluded that the driver was speeding
