Question:
How do rechargeable batteries work?
Answer:
When a rechargeable battery is connected to electricity it changes the pressure inside and allows the rubber membrane to expand, thus releasing more energy next time its used. When plugged into the wall the electrons are sent back to rebuild the original dry cell (or metal). Rechargeable batteries are made exclusively of nitrogen which when exposed to electricity from and outlet can store a charge. When a battery is zapped by the electricity from the outlet it resets the system.
Answer:
To correct the defects of vision by measuring the radius of curvature and thus the power of the lenses.
Explanation:
A spherometer is an instrument used to measure the curvature of objects such as lenses and curved mirrors.
Generally it consists of a fine screw which is moving in a nut carried on the center of a 3 small legged table or frame. The feet forms the vertices of an equilateral triangle. The lower end of the screw and those of the table legs are finely tapered and terminate in hemispheres.
If the screw has two turns of the thread to the milli meter the head is generally divided into 50 equal parts, so that differences of 0.01 millimeter may be measured without using a vernier scale.
The spherometer is used to measure the radius of curvature of the lenses so that the opthalmologist find the focal length of the lens and then give the power to the lens to correct the defects of vision.
Answer:
Explanation:
When we lift a ball with the hand the forces experienced by the ball is
Resultant of these forces gives acceleration to the ball
While your hand exerts a force on the ball, the ball will also exert a force of equal magnitude but opposite in direction to the force by hand.
All these forces is exerted on the ball, hand or on the earth.
A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 17.0 m/s. How fast is it moving when it reaches a height of 11.0 m? How long is required to reach this height?
Let’s review the 4 basic kinematic equations of motion for constant acceleration (this is a lesson – suggest you commit these to memory):
s = ut + ½ at^2 …. (1)
v^2 = u^2 + 2as …. (2)
v = u + at …. (3)
s = (u + v)t/2 …. (4)
where s is distance, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.
In this case, we know u = 17.0m/s, a = -g = -9.81m/s^2, s = 11.0m and we want to know v and t, so from equation (2):
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
v^2 = 17.0^2 -2(9.81)(11.0)
v = √73.18 = 8.55m/s
now from equation (3):
v = u + at
8.55 = 17.0 – 9.81t
t = (8.55 – 17.0)/(-9.81) = 0.86s
