1) A 6.47 mm high firefly sits on the axis of, and 11.5 cm in front of, the thin lens A, whose focal length is 6.11 cm . Behind lens A there is another thin lens, lens B, with a focal length of 20.7 cm . The two lenses share a common axis and are 61.5 cm apart. Is the image of the firefly that lens B forms real or virtual? What is the height of this image? Express the answer as a positive number (nm)?

One of the inevitable consequences of aging is a decrease in the flexibility of the lens. This leads to the farsighted condition called presbyopia (elder eye). Almost every aging human will experience it to some extent. However, for the myopic, or nearsighted, person it is possible that far vision will be limited by a subpar far point and near vision will be hampered by an expanding near point. One solution is to wear bifocal lenses that are diverging in the upper half to correct the nearsightedness and converging in the lower half to correct the farsightedness.

Suppose one such individual asks for your help. The patient complains that she can’t see far enough to safely drive (her far point dfar=114 cmd and she can’t read the font of her smart phone without holding it beyond arm’s length (her near point dnear=81.0 cm? Prescribe the bifocals that will correct the visual issues for your patient.

a)What is the focal length fns of the part of the bifocal lens that corrects the patient's nearsightedness?

b) What is the focal length ffsffs of the part of the bifocal lens that corrects the patient's farsightedness?

An archaeologist finds some ancient jewelry made from bone. The jewelry has a carbon mass of 163 g (HINT: Assume all the carbon is 12C and determine the number of atoms) and careful measurements show that the remaining 14C has a current decay rate of 21 decays/s. Determine the age of the bone (and presumably the jewelry). Remember, the ratio of 14C to 12C when the animal died was 1.3×10-12 & the half-life of 14C is 5730 y.
age of bone =

A geologist finds an old rock and wants to determine its age using rubidium-strontium dating. This is possible because 87Rb, which has a half-life of 4.75×1010 y, undergoes β decay and becomes 87Sr. The geologist determines that the ratio of 87Sr to 87Rb is 0.289. Assuming there was no 87Sr in the rock when it was formed, determine the age of the rock.
age of rock =

An airplane with a speed of 77.1 m/s is climbing upward at an angle of 72.5 ° with respect to the horizontal. When the plane's altitude is 625 m, the pilot releases a package. (a) Calculate the distance along the ground, measured from a point directly beneath the point of release, to where the package hits the earth. (b) Relative to the ground, determine the angle of the velocity vector of the package just before impact

A person pulls a 11-kg toboggan for a distance of 3.5 m on a horizontal sheet of ice (frictionless) with a rope directed 25.0º above the horizontal snowy surface. The tension in the rope is 88 N. There is also a zephyr (soft gentle breeze) in the opposite direction of the motion applying a 11.0 N force.

(a) How much net work is done on the toboggan by ALL the forces acting on it?

(b) If the toboggan starts from rest, how fast is it moving after the 3.5 m distance?

(c) Use Dimensionality sense-making to check the expression you derive in part (b).

A ball enters a frictionless track spiraling upward with a speed vo. The radius of the track is half a meter and it has a pitch (ѳ) of 15°.

(a) If the initial speed of the ball is 12 m/s, how high vertically will it rise?

(b) Compare your answer to part (a) with the height the ball would rise if it had been thrown vertically upward, into freefall, with the same initial speed. Explain your results.

(c) If you wish the ball to make exactly 5 revolutions before momentarily coming to rest, how fast must it initially be moving when entering the spiral track?

(d) What assumptions or simplifications did you make in part (c) about the total distance traveled that leaves your answer very close but not exact (friction is not the answer)? Use Related Quantities in conjunction with Order of Magnitude sense-making to justify your assumptions/simplifications.

A horizontal spring with a spring constant of 190 N/cm is compressed 6.3 cm. A wooden block with a mass of 1.5 kg is placed in front of and in contact with the spring. When the spring is released it pushes the block, which slides on a frictionless horizontal surface for some distance. The block then slides up a frictionless incline of 27 above the horizontal and comes to a momentary stop before sliding back down. The system is the spring, the block, the incline, and the Earth. Ignore air resistance.

A) Sketch the situation and label all variables for: i. the spring and block before the spring is released ii. the block sliding on the horizontal surface iii. the block sliding up the incline

B) List all known quantities.

C) Draw the free body diagram for the block sliding up the incline.

D) What is the potential energy of the spring before it is released?

E) What is the kinetic energy and the speed of the block as it slides on the horizontal surface after the spring has pushed it?

F) At what height does the block stop on the incline?

G) If the incline were rough, how would the stopping height of the block compare to the stopping height when the incline is frictionless? Explain using energy.
