The near point of an eye is 110 cm. A corrective lens is to be used to allow this eye to focus clearly on objects 26.0 cm in fro

nt of it. What should be the focal length of this lens? What is the power of the needed corrective lens (in diopters)? Do not enter units.

Answer:

The focal length of the lens is 34.047 cm

The power of the needed corrective lens is 2.937 diopter.

Explanation:

Distance of the object from the lens,u = 26 cm

Distance of the image from the lens ,v= -110 cm

(Image is forming on the other side of the lens)

Since ,lens of the human eye is converging lens,convex lens.

Using a lens formula:

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

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{26 cm}+\frac{1}{-110 cm}$

f = 34.047 cm = 0.3404 m

Power of the lens = P

$P=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.34047 m}=2.937 diopter$

a large sphere is on a horizontal field on a sunny day. at a certain time the shadow reaches out a distance of 10 m from the poi

Mars2501 [29]

The radius of the sphere in meters is ,r = $10\sqrt{5} -20$

Think about the angle the ground and the shadow make. Since the sun's beams are parallel, the angle created by the stick's shadow is also equal. Since the stick is 1 m high and its shadow is 2 m long, we know that the stick's angle is arctan 1/2. Therefore, by thinking of a right-angled triangle,

r/10 = tan [arctan(1/2)] = tan (1/2)

Since, tan (θ/2) = 1-cos(θ) / sin(θ)

we find that,

r/10 = $\sqrt{5} -2$

Hence, r = $10\sqrt{5} -20$

So, the radius of the sphere in meters is ,r = $10\sqrt{5} -20$

A piano tuner sounds two strings simultaneously. One has been previously tuned to vibrate at 293.0 Hz. The tuner hears 3.0 beats

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Part a)

$f_B = 290 Hz$

Part B)

percentage increase is

$percentage = 1.38$ %

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the beat frequency is

$f_A - f_B = 3$

after increasing the tension the beat frequency is decreased and hence the tension in string B will increase

So we have

$293 - f_B = 3$

$f_B = 290 Hz$

Part B)

percentage increase in the tension of the string will be given as

$f_A - f_B' = 1$

$f_B' = 292 Hz$

now we have

$f = \frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

so we have

$T_1 = C (290)^2$

$T_2 = C(292)^2$

so we have

$\frac{\Delta T}{T} = \frac{292^2 - 290^2}{290^2}$

percentage increase is

$percentage = 1.38$

A car is traveling at 50 mi/h when the brakes are fully applied, producing a constant deceleration of 38 ft/s2. what is the dist

e-lub [12.9K]

Convert 38 ft/s^2 to mi/h^2. Then we se the conversion factor > 1 mile = 5280 feet and 1 hour = 3600 seconds.

So now we show it > $38 \frac{ft}{s^2} x \frac{1mi}{5280ft} x \frac{(3600s)^2}{(1h)^2} = 93272.27 \frac{mi}{h^2}$

Then we have to use the formula of constant acceleration to determine the distance traveled by the car before it ended up stopping.

Which the formula for constant acceleration would be > $v_2^2=v_1^2 + 2as$

The initial velocity is 50mi/h $(v_1=50)$

When it stops the final velocity is $(v_2=0)$

Since the given is deceleration it means the number we had gotten earlier would be a negative so a = -93272.27

Then we substitute the values in....

$0^2 = 50^2 + 2(-93272.27)s

0 = 2500 - 186544.54s

Isolate S next.

185644.54s= 2500

s = 2500/(185644.54)

s=0.0134
$

So we can say the car stopped at 0.0134 miles before it came to a stop but to express the distance traveled in feet we need to use the conversion factor of 1 mile = 5280 feet in otherwards > $0.0134 mi * \frac{5280ft}{1mi} = 70.8 ft$
So this means that the car traveled in feet 70.8 ft before it came to a stop.

An L-R-C series circuit, R = 160 Ω , L = 0.790 H , and C = 1.30×10−2 μF . The source has a voltage amplitude of 140 V and a freq

wolverine [178]

Answer: a) 1 b) 61 W c) 61 W

Explanation:

a) The Power Factor (also known as cos φ), is defined by the difference in phase between current and voltage, in a RLC series circuit, and is expressed as follows:

cos φ = R / Z = R / $\sqrt{(R)^{2} + (Xl -Xc)^{2} }$

In resonance, XL =XC, so the circuit behaves like it were purely resistive, so Z=R.

Replacing in the expression for power factor, we have:

cos φ = R/Z = R/R = 1

This means that in resonance, current and voltage are in phase each other.

b) The average power delivered by the source, in resonance, is simply the power dissipated at the resistance R, as follows:

Pavg = V² rms / R = V₀² / √2 / R = 61 W

c) If the circuit remains in resonance, the average power , which does not depends on frequency provided this condition remains, keeps the same, i.e. , 61 W.
