If earth had no atmosphere would a falling object ever reach terminal velocity

1 answer:

6 0

Terminal velocity is caused by friction between an object and the atmosphere, causing it to only go so fast. If there is no atmosphere, there is no friction between the object, so it will accelerate forever.

Reading glasses with a power of 1.50 diopters make reading a book comfortable for you when you wear them 1.8 cmcm from your eye.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The near point is $n =44.8 \ cm$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The power is $P = 1.50$

The distance from the eye is $k = 1.8 \ cm$

The distance of the book from the eye is $z = -28 \ cm$

Generally the focal length of the glasses is

$f = \frac{1}{P}$

=> $f = \frac{1}{1.50 }$

=> $f = 0.667 \ m$

=> $f = 66.7 \ cm$

The object distance is evaluated as

$u = z + k$

=> $u = -28 + 1.8$

=> $u = -26.2 \ cm$

The image distance is evaluated from lens formula as

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

=> $\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{66.7} + \frac{1}{-26.2}$

=> $v=- \frac{1}{0.0232}$

=> $v=- 43 \ cm$

The near point is evaluated as

$n = -v + k$

=> $n =-(-43) + 1.8$

=> $n =44.8 \ cm$

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle

aalyn [17]

Answer:

4.56 s

Explanation:

Let t (seconds) be the time it takes from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car. Since prior to this they are traveling at constant speed, they would have maintained a distance of 52 m before accelerating.

The distance traveled by the car, with respect the motorcycle position when it start accelerating is

$s_c = s_0 + v_ct = 52 + 19t$
