Answer:

The bottom of the Mariana Trench, in the western Pacific ocean, which is nearly 6,370 km

Explanation:

The bottom of the Mariana Trench is the deepest point ever found in our planet, and it is the closest to the earth´s center, rememeber that gravitational potential energy decreases as height increases, so the place where the change of gravitational potential energy would be the greatest, not meaning that that would be meaningful or feelable, would be the bottom of the Mariana Trench due to its closeness to the center of the Earth.

Answer:

the Mariana trench

Explanation:

To perform this calculation we must use the law of universal gravitation

          F = G m M / r²

Where the gravitational potential energy is immediately deducted

         U = ∫ F dr

         U = - G m M (1 / r - 1 / Ro)

In general the point of Ro is taken at infinity so that here the energy is zero

Therefore, for this problem we will use the equation

           U = - G m M / r

Let's calculate the distance, for the three requested points

-Ecuador

         R = 6370 km (1000 m / 1 km)

         R = 6.370 10 6 m

- Mariana Trench

This is 11 km deep

        R = 6370 -11 km = 6359 km

        R = 6.359 106 m

- The Chimborazo

      R = 6384 Km

      R = 6.384 10 6 m

We can appreciate that if we introduce these values ​​in the formula, the one that gives the greatest change would be the one with the least distance. Let's calculate it,

 

- Ecuator

      U = - (G mM) / (6.370 106)

      U = - (GmM) 1.5699 10-7 J

- mariana trench

      U = - (GmM) 1 / 6,359 106

      U = - (GmM) 1.5725 10-7 J

- Chimborazo

      U = - (GmM) 1 / 6,384 106

      U = - (GmM) 1.5664 10 -7 J

Here we can see that the greatest value is that of the Mariana trench

If a farsighted person has a near point that is 0.600 mm from the eye, what is the focal length f2f2f_2 of the contact lenses th
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

0.22mm

Explanation:

A far sighted person is a person suffering from long sightedness i.e such individual can only see far distant object clearly but not near distant object. The defect is corrected using convex lens.

Since convex lens is used, the focal (f) length of the lens is positive and the image distance (v) is also positive.

Using the lens formula,

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

Where u is the object distance = 0.35mm

v = 0.6mm

1/f = 1/0.35+1/0.6

1/f = 2.86 + 1.67

1/f = 4.53

f = 1/4.53

f = 0.22mm

The focal length of the contact lenses will be 0.22mm

If you mark off a beginning time and ending time on the graph,
then the area under the part of the graph between those limits
is the distance covered during that period of time.

Intensity, E follows inverse square law.

E α  1/r²

r is the distance.

So if the distance r is increased by 3, the intensity would be reduced by 3²

3² = 9

So the answer is nines times as low.  C.
