A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 24.0 m/s.

(a) How fast is it moving when it reaches a height of 13.0m?
(b) How much time is required to reach this height?


Answer: Let u = unitial velocity = 24 m/s
(a) v2 - u2 = 2as
v2 -u2 = - 2gh
v2= u2 - 2gh = (24)2 - 2 * 9.8* 13 = 321.2
velocity atthe height of 13 m , v = ? 321.2 = 17.92m/s
(b) s = ut + ( 1/2) at2
h = u t - ( 1/2) gt2
13 = 24 t - 4.9t2
4.9 t2 -24 t + 13 = 0
t = [ 24 + ( or ) - 17.92] / 9.8 = (24 - 17.92) /9.8 or ( 24 + 17.92) / 9.8
= 0.62 s ( or ) 4.28 s

Thin Lenses: Two thin lenses, one a converging lens and the other a diverging lens, are separated by 1.00 m along the same principal axis, as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the focal length of the converging lens is 25 cm, while the magnitude of the focal length of the diverging lens is 40 cm. An object 8.25 cm tall is placed 35 cm to the left of the converging lens.(a) Where is the final image produced by this combination of lenses? (Give your answer relative to the diverging lens.)(b) Compared to the object, is the final image upright or inverted? Is it real or virtual?
