<span>Wind power is produced from the wind turbines or sails that uses air flow to convert it into mechanical power. It is an alternative to fossil fuel burning, it is all around, renewable, clean, produces no greenhouse gases and uses little land. The advantages of wind power have been greatly praised by many. However, it has disadvantages. Wind power especially at farm is noisy and may spoil the view for their neighboring people. Also the amount of electricity depends on the strength of the wind. If no wind is around, no electricity is produced. </span>

Joe first focuses his attention (and his eyes) on the tree. The focal length of the cornea-lens system in his eye must be ______
kotykmax [81]

Answer: The focal length of the cornea-lens system in his eye must be LESS THAN the distance between the front and back of his eye.

Explanation:

The human eye the front part of the eye is the CORNEA. This is the tough white transparent part of the eye that helps in the refraction of light rays. While the backside of the eye is the RETINA. This is the part of the eye when images are focused.

When a normal eye is at rest, parallel rays from a distant object are focused on the retina. The ability of the eye - lens to focus points at different distances on the retina is known as accomodation. The adjustment of the eye lens to focus objects of varying distances is brought about by the ciliary muscles. The have the ability to change the shape of the eye which leads to change in focal length.

When a person with normal vision looks at a distant object at infinity, the lens brings parallel rays to focus on the retina. Thus, the furthest point which the eye can see distinctly is called the far point of the eye and it's infinity for a normal eye. But Joe was able to focus his eye on the tree, meaning that the tree was within his near point. This is the nearest point at which an object is clearly seen. Therefore, when the effective focal length of the cornea-lens system changes, it changes the location of the image of any object in one's field of view.

A 2000 kg truck is traveling at 5 m/s and collides with a 1000 kg car that is not moving. After the collision, the 2000 truck st
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

A) 10 m/s

Explanation:

We know that according to conservation of momentum,

m1v1 + m2v2 = m1u1 + m2u2  ..............(equation 1)

where m1 and m2 are masses of two bodies, v1 and v2 are initial velocity before collision and u1 and u2 are final velocities after collision respectively.

From the given data

If truck and car are two bodies

truck :       m1 = 2000 Kg           v1 = 5 m/s                u1 = 0

car    :        m2 = 1000 kg           v2 = 0                      u2 = ?

final velocity of truck and initial velocity of car are static because the objects were at rest in the respective time.

substituting the values in equation 1, we get

(2000 x 5) + 0 = 0 + (1000 x u2)

u2 = \frac{2000}{1000} x 5

    = 10 m/s

Hence after collision, car moves at a velocity of 10 m/s

If a substance besides water is changed from a gas to a liquid and then to a solid, what happens to the particles?
NARA [144]
The correct answer is they get closer together

Going from gas into a liquid makes the molecules move closer together, which happens again when you turn it into a solid.
