Question
Chapter 8, Problem 44EAP
To determine
Rocks from another solar system many “leftovers” from planetary formation were likely ejected from our solar system, and the same has presumably happened in other star systems. Given that fact should we expect to find meteorites that come from another star system? How rare or common would you expect them to be? Suppose that we did find a meteorite identified as a left over from another stellar system. What could we learn from it?

A filmmaker wants to achieve an interesting visual effect by filming a scene through a converging lens with a
focal length of 50.0 m. The lens is placed betwen the camera and a horse, which canters toward the camera
at a constant speed of 7.9 m/s. The camera starts rolling when the horse is 36.0 m from the lens. Find the
average speed of the image of the horse (a) during the first 2.0 s after the camera starts rolling and (b)
during the following 2.0 s.
