    Calculating Image Position and Height Using Two Lenses?

    I must be, because when I construct the diagram, the location of the second image is neither 30 cm in front of or behind the second lens, which doesn't lend our answer much levity.

    Calculating Image Position and Height Using Two Lenses?

    Homework Statement A 2 cm tall object is 20 cm to the left of a lens with a focal length of 10 cm. A second lens with a focal length of 15 cm is 30 cm to the right of the first lens. Calculate the image position and height. Compare with ray-tracing. Homework Equations 1/f = 1/do + 1/di, m =...

    Knowing Damping and Spring Constant Finding Time

    And for others, First 5=10e^-(bt/2m), 5/10=e^-(bt/2m), ln(1/2)=-(bt/2m), solve for t, t=(2mln(1/2))/-b, substitute given values, [2(0.120)ln(1/2)]/-(0.0180)=t=9.24 seconds.

    Knowing Damping and Spring Constant Finding Time

    Well. I found the equation that works. final amplitude=original amplitude times e raised to the quantity of -(bt/2m) where b represents the damping constant, t the amount of time, and m the mass of said device. And after that it's pretty basic math. If this could be derived from the...

    Knowing Damping and Spring Constant Finding Time

    I think I understand what you're saying. So start with a standard equation, then take the derivative producing two other equations, and substitute the given values in front of each of the respective equations. Is this correct?

    Knowing Damping and Spring Constant Finding Time

    Homework Statement A spring with a force constant of 1.50 N/m is attached to a mass of 120 g. The system has a damping constant of 0.0180 Ns/m. How long does it take the amplitude of the oscillations to decrease from 10.0 mm to 5.00 mm? Homework Equations (double dot)x +(c/m)(one...

    Finding Apparent Weight with Uniform Circular Motion

    Homework Statement A ferris wheel with a radius of 14.0 m rotates at a constant rate, completing three revolutions in 50.0 s. What is the apparent weight of a 60.0 kg passenger when she is at the top of the wheel? Given choices: 532 N, 452 N, 562 N, 625 N, 469 N Homework Equations...
