Chapter 5, Problem 45EAP

Problems 42 through 52 describe a situation. For each, draw a motion diagram, a force-identification diagram, and a free-body diagram.

42. An elevator, suspended by a single cable, has just left the tenth floor and is speeding up as it descends towards the ground floor.

43. A rocket is being launched straight up. Air resistance is not negligible.

44. A Styrofoam ball has just been shot straight up. Air resistance is not negligible.

45. You are a rock climber going upward at a steady pace on a vertical wall.

46. You’ve slammed on the brakes an your car is skidding to a stop while going down a 20° hill.

47. You’ve just kicked a rock on the sidewalk and it is now sliding along the concrete.

48. You’ve jumped down from a platform. Your feet are touching the ground and your kees are flexing as you stop.

49. You are bungee jumping from a high bridge. You are moving downward while the bungee cord is stretching.

50. Your friend went for a loop-the-loop ride at the amusement park. Her car is upside down at the top of the loop.

51. A spring-loaded gun shoots a plastic ball. The trigger has just been pulled and the bull is starting to move down the barrel. The barrel is horizontal.

52. A person on a bridge throws a rock straight down toward the water. The rock has just been released.

Fresnel lens: You would like to design a 25 mm diameter blazed Fresnel zone plate with a first-order power of +1.5 diopters. What is the lithography requirement (resolution required) for making this lens that is designed for 550 nm? Express your answer in units of μm to one decimal point. Fresnel lens: What would the power of the first diffracted order of this lens be at wavelength of 400 nm? Express your answer in diopters to one decimal point. Eye: A person with myopic eyes has a far point of 15 cm. What power contact lenses does she need to correct her version to a standard far point at infinity? Give your answer in diopter to one decimal point.

Paraxial design of a field flattener. Imagine your optical system has Petzal curvature of the field with radius p. In Module 1 of Course 1, a homework problem asked you to derive the paraxial focus shift along the axis when a slab of glass was inserted in a converging cone of rays. Find or re-derive that result, then use it to calculate the paraxial radius of curvature of a field flattener of refractive index n that will correct the observed Petzval. Assume that the side of the flattener facing the image plane is plano. What is the required radius of the plano-convex field flattener? (p written as rho )
