Answer: a. 53cm b. Diverging c. 0.02dioptres

Explanation:

Since the person in question cannot see far object clearly, it shows that the individual is suffering from myopia (short sightedness).

If the object distance (u) is 53cm. for the person to be able to see far way, it means the image must be at infinity. This shows image distance v is infinity. Using the lens formula

1/f = 1/u+1/v

1/f = 1/53 + 1/Infinity

1/f = 1/53 + 0

f=53cm

b) The lens used is concave lens (diverging lens) to diverge all rays outwards

c) Power of a lens P will be 1/53.

P = 0.02dioptres

The average intensity of light emerging from a polarizing sheet is 0.775 W/m2, and that of the horizontally polarized light inci

rewona [7]

Answer:

the transmission axis of polarizing sheet makes an angle of $\Theta =26.74^{\circ}$ with the horizontal

Explanation:

We have given that intensity of light incident on the sheet $I_0=0.970W/m^2$

Average intensity of light emerging from a polarizing sheet $I=0.775W/m^2$

We have to find the angle between transmission axis with the horizontal

Intensity of light polarizing from sheet is equal to $I=I_0cos^2\Theta$

So $0.775=0.970cos^2\Theta$

$cos^2\Theta =0.798$

$cos\Theta =0.893$

$\Theta =26.74^{\circ}$

So the transmission axis of polarizing sheet makes an angle of $\Theta =26.74^{\circ}$ with the horizontal

Suppose you found a rock that has all of the characteristics of a meteorite. You take it to a physicist friend who confirms that

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: The origin might be from MARS

Explanation: Meteorites origin are either from Asteroid, Moon or Mars. Their origin is usually classified according to their age after using radioisotope dating. Meteorites that originate from Mars are between the age of 4.5 billion to 200 million years. Since the meteorite in question is only a billion years old, the origin would be from Mars.

A certain signal molecule S in heart tissue is degraded by two different biochemical pathways: when only Path 1 is active, the h

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Half life of S = 3.76secs

Explanation:

The concept of half life in radioactivity is applied. Half life is the time taken for a radioactive material to decay to half of its initial size.

For part 1 - How much signal will be degraded in 1secs = 1/3.9 = 0.2564

for part 2 - How much signal will be degraded in 1secs = 1/104 = 0.009615

Simply say = 1/3.9 + 1/104 = 0.266015

So both part 1 and part 2 took 1/0.266015 = 3.76secs is the half life of S when both pathways are active

The unit of energy is a derived quantity. why

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Energy is the tendency to do work.

Explanation:

Energy unit is Joule

1 Joule means 1 kgm²/s²

Energy =Kinertic energy

=1/2 mv²

unit= kgm²/s²

So energy unit is derived unit.
