<span>d.rotating counterclockwise and slowing down This is a matter of understanding the notation and conventions of angular rotations. Positive rotations are counter clockwise and negative rotations are clockwise. An easy way to remember this is the "right hand rule". Make a closed fist with your right hand and have the thumb sticking outwards. If you orient your thumb such that it's pointing in the direction of the positive value along the axis, your fingers will be curled in the positive rotational direction. So in the described scenario, the sphere is rotating in the positive direction (counter clockwise) and decelerating due to the negative angular acceleration. That immediately indicates that options "a", "b", and "e" are wrong since they mention the sphere going clockwise at the beginning. Of the two remaining options "c" and "d", we can discard option "c" since it has the rotation speeding up, and that leaves us with option "d" where the sphere is rotating counter clockwise and slowing down.</span>

A 12-kg hammer strikes a nail at a velocity of 8.5 m/s and comes to rest in a time interval of 8.0 ms. (A) What is the impulse g
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

102 kg.m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of hammer = 12 kg

v = Final velocity = 8.5 m/s

u = Initial velocity = 0

t = Time taken = 8 ms

Force acting over a given amount of time or change in momentum is known as impulse.

Impulse

J=Ft\\\Rightarrow J=p_2-p_1\\\Rightarrow J=m(v-u)\\\Rightarrow J=12(8.5-0)\\\Rightarrow J=102\kg.m/s

Impulse given to the nail is 102 kg.m/s

Where is the near point of an normal eye when accidentally wear a contact lens with a power of +2.0 diopters?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The near point of an eye with power of +2 dopters, u' = - 50 cm

Given:

Power of a contact lens, P = +2.0 diopters

Solution:

To calculate the near point, we need to find the focal length of the lens which is given by:

Power, P = \frac{1}{f}

where

f = focal length

Thus

f = \frac{1}{P}

f = \frac{1}{2} = + 0.5 m

The near point of the eye is the point distant such that the image formed at this point can be seen clearly by the eye.

Now, by using lens maker formula:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{u'}

where

u = object distance = 25 cm = 0.25 m = near point of a normal eye

u' = image distance

Now,

\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}

\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{0.5} - \frac{1}{0.25}

\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}

Solving the above eqn, we get:

u' = - 0.5 m = - 50 cm
