Manuel is scuba diving near a school of fish at a depth of −9.5 feet relative to sea level. Then he descends to look at a coral reef so that his depth changes by
4/5
of the current value. Find Manuel's depth, relative to sea level, near the coral reef.

- For the first question I sent before it wasn't "um" = 2.32cm²/g. The question is in the picture I sentarrow_forwardIn old Polaroid cameras, the image was projected on film that developed inside the camera. The developed image was then ejected from the camera as a printed photograph. The standard film size for one popular camera was 79 mm square. The film was 116 mm behind the lens. If you wanted a picture ofyour 1.6-m-tall friend to fill half the frame, how far away from you did she need to stand?arrow_forwardThe equation connecting s, p, and f for a simple lens can be employed for spherical mirrors, too. A concave mirror with a focal length of 2 cm forms an image of a small object placed 10 cm in front of the mirror. If the mirror is used to form an image of the same object now located 18 cm in front of the mirror, what would the new image position be? (For spherical mirrors, positive p means the image is on the same side of the mirror as the object.) The image will be cm ---Select--- v the mirror. Assuming that the magnification equations developed for lenses also apply to mirrors, describe the image (magnitude of magnification and orientation) thus formed. |magnification|arrow_forward

- I need help with part a and b of this question! Thanks! For an independent study project, you design an experiment to measure the speed of light. You propose to bounce laser light off a mirror that is 51.0 km due east and have it detected by a light sensor that is 129 m due south of the laser. The first problem is to orient the mirror so that the laser light reflects off the mirror and into the light sensor. (a) Determine the angle that the normal to the mirror should make with respect to due west. ANS:____º Since you can read your protractor only so accurately, the mirror is slightly misaligned and the actual angle between the normal to the mirror and due west exceeds the desired amount by 0.003°. Determine how far south you need to move the light sensor in order to detect the reflected laser light. ANS:_____ marrow_forwardDue to the earth's curvature, a person cannot see as far and the extent of his vision ends at a distance called the horizon. If the person's eye level is 1.5 meters from the ground, what is his distance from the horizon?arrow_forwardA concave mirror has the focal length equal to 0.609 m.
