The change in kinetic energy is
Explanation:
According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object. Mathematically:
where :
W is the work done on the object
is the final kinetic energy of the object
is the initial kinetic energy
Also, the work done on an object is (assuming that the force is applied parallel to the motion of the object):
where
F is the magnitude of the force
is the displacement of the object
In this problem, the force acting on the object is
F
While the displacement is the horizontal distance travelled, so
Therefore, the work done is
And so the change in kinetic energy is

Answer:
Part a)
Direction of net force is
Part b)
Direction of the velocity is given as
Explanation:
As we know that the velocity of the particle is given as
now the acceleration is given as
now magnitude of net acceleration is given as
Part a)
Now direction of net force is given as
Part b)
Direction of the velocity is given as
A. 6.67 cm
The focal length of the lens can be found by using the lens equation:
where we have
f = focal length
s = 12 cm is the distance of the object from the lens
s' = 15 cm is the distance of the image from the lens
Solving the equation for f, we find
B. Converging
According to sign convention for lenses, we have:
- Converging (convex) lenses have focal length with positive sign
- Diverging (concave) lenses have focal length with negative sign
In this case, the focal length of the lens is positive, so the lens is a converging lens.
C. -1.25
The magnification of the lens is given by
where
s' = 15 cm is the distance of the image from the lens
s = 12 cm is the distance of the object from the lens
Substituting into the equation, we find
D. Real and inverted
The magnification equation can be also rewritten as
where
y' is the size of the image
y is the size of the object
Re-arranging it, we have
Since in this case M is negative, it means that y' has opposite sign compared to y: this means that the image is inverted.
Also, the sign of s' tells us if the image is real of virtual. In fact:
- s' is positive: image is real
- s' is negative: image is virtual
In this case, s' is positive, so the image is real.
E. Virtual
In this case, the magnification is 5/9, so we have
which can be rewritten as
which means that s' has opposite sign than s: therefore, the image is virtual.
F. 12.0 cm
From the magnification equation, we can write
and then we can substitute it into the lens equation:
and we can solve for s:
G. -6.67 cm
Now the image distance can be directly found by using again the magnification equation:
And the sign of s' (negative) also tells us that the image is virtual.
H. -24.0 cm
In this case, the image is twice as tall as the object, so the magnification is
M = 2
and the distance of the image from the lens is
s' = -24 cm
The problem is asking us for the image distance: however, this is already given by the problem,
s' = -24 cm
so, this is the answer. And the fact that its sign is negative tells us that the image is virtual.
