Answer:

The focal length of the lens should be -51.5 cm (a concave lens).

Explanation:

The purpose of the lens is to make objects at 48.5 cm appear at the healthy near point. The healthy near point is 25.0 cm.

We use the lens formula

$\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{u} + \dfrac{1}{v}$

where <em>f</em> = focal length, <em>u</em> = object distance and <em>v</em> = image distance.

In this case, <em>u</em> = 48.5 cm and <em>v</em> = -25.0 cm.

<em>v</em> is negative because the image is virtual an not real. (Here, we are using the real-is-positive sign convention)

$\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{48.5} + \dfrac{1}{-25.0} = -\dfrac{23.5}{1212.5}$

$f = -51.5$

The negative sign indicates the lens is concave.

Answer:

5.66 × 10⁻²³ m/s

Explanation:

If i assume i can jump as high as h = 2 m, my initial velocity is gotten from v² = u² + 2gh. Since my final velocity v = 0, u = √2gh = √(2 × 9.8 × 2) = √39.2 m/s = 6.26 m/s.

Since initial momentum = final momentum,

mv₁ + MV₁ = mv₂ + MV₂ where m, M, v₁, V₁, v₂ and V₂ are my mass, mass of earth, my initial velocity, earth's initial velocity, my final velocity and earth's final velocity respectively.

My mass m = 54 kg, M = 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg, v₁ = 6.26 m/s, V₁ = 0, v₂ = 0 and V₂ = ?

So mv₁ + M × 0 = m × 0 + MV₂

mv₁ = MV₂

V₂ = mv₁/M = 54kg × 6.26 m/s/5.972 × 10²⁴ kg = 338.093/5.972 × 10²⁴ = 56.61 × 10⁻²⁴ m/s = 5.661 × 10⁻²³ m/s ≅ 5.66 × 10⁻²³ m/s

Please help my test is going on. Please answer both (i) and (ii).

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

i. 7.5 m

ii. 15000 N

Explanation:

Area under vt graph shows the displacement

so area of triangle ABE= 1/2×15×2

=7.5 m

ii) F=ma

here, m=1000kg

and a=v-u/t

=15-0/1

a=15

F=1000×15=15000N

You set a tuning fork into vibration at a frequency of 723 Hz and then drop it off the roof of the Physics building where the ac

zaharov [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Original Frequency $f=723\ Hz$

apparent Frequency $f'=697\ Hz$

There is change in frequency whenever source move relative to the observer.

From Doppler effect we can write as

$f'=f\cdot \frac{v-v_o}{v+v_s}$

where

$f'=$ apparent frequency

v=velocity of sound in the given media

$v_s=$ velocity of source

$v_0=$ velocity of observer

here $v_0=0$

$697=723\cdot (\frac{343-0}{343+v_s})$

$v_s=(\frac{f}{f'}-1)v$

$v_s=(\frac{723}{697}-1)\cdot 343$

$v_s=12.79\approx 12.8\ m/s$

i.e.fork acquired a velocity of $12.8 m/s$

distance traveled by fork is given by

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

$v_s^2-0=2\times 9.8\times s$

$s=\frac{12.8^2}{2\times 9.8}$

$s=8.35\ m$
