f the rod. The second bead, of mass m2 = 11 g, is placed a distance d2 = 2.5 cm to the right of the first bead. The third bead, of mass m3 = 45 g, is placed a distance d3 = 4.6 cm to the right of the second bead. Assume an x-axis that points to the right.

Answer:

Part a)

Center of mass with respect to the left end is given as

r_{cm} = 5.63 cm

Part b)

Center of mass with respect to middle bead is

r_{cm} = \frac{m_1(-d_2) + m_2(0) + m_3(d_3)}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3}

Part c)

Center of mass with respect to middle bead is

r_{cm} = 1.63 cm

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the center of mass of the system of mass is given by the formula

r_{cm} = \frac{m_1r_1 + m_2r_2 + m_3r_3}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3}

here we have

m_1 = 28 g

m_2 = 11 g

m_3 = 45 g

r_1 = 1.5 cm

r_2 = 1.5 + 2.5 = 4 cm

r_3 = 1.5 + 2.5 + 4.6 = 8.6 cm

Now we have

r_{cm} = \frac{28(1.5) + 11(4) + 45(8.6)}{28 + 11 + 45}

r_{cm} = 5.63 cm

Part b)

As we know that the center of mass of the system of mass is given by the formula

r_{cm} = \frac{m_1r_1 + m_2r_2 + m_3r_3}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3}

here we have

m_1 = 28 g

m_2 = 11 g

m_3 = 45 g

r_1 = -d_2 = -2.5cm

r_2 = 0

r_3 = d_3 = 4.6 cm

r_{cm} = \frac{m_1(-d_2) + m_2(0) + m_3(d_3)}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3}

Part c)

Now plug in the values in above formula

r_{cm} = \frac{m_1(-d_2) + m_2(0) + m_3(d_3)}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3}

r_{cm} = \frac{28(-2.5) + m_2(0) + 45(4.6)}{28 + 11 + 45}

r_{cm} = 1.63 cm

The normal eye, myopic eye and old age
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

1)    f’₀ / f = 1.10, the relationship between the focal length (f'₀) and the distance to the retina (image) is given by the constructor's equation

2) the two diameters have the same order of magnitude and are very close to each other

Explanation:

You have some problems in the writing of your exercise, we will try to answer.

1) The equation to be used in geometric optics is the constructor equation

          \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

where p and q are the distance to the object and the image, respectively, f is the focal length

* For the normal eye and with presbyopia

the object is at infinity (p = inf) and the image is on the retina (q = 15 mm = 1.5 cm)

        \frac{1}{f'_o} = 1/ inf + \frac{1}{1.5}

        f'₀ = 1.5 cm

this is the focal length for this type of eye

* Eye with myopia

the distance to the object is p = 15 cm the distance to the image that is on the retina is q = 1.5 cm

           1 / f = 1/15 + 1 / 1.5

           1 / f = 0.733

            f = 1.36 cm

this is the focal length for the myopic eye.

In general, the two focal lengths are related

         f’₀ / f = 1.5 / 1.36

         f’₀ / f = 1.10

The question of the relationship between the focal length (f'₀) and the distance to the retina (image) is given by the constructor's equation

2) For this second part we have a diffraction problem, the point diameter corresponds to the first zero of the diffraction pattern that is given by the expression for a linear slit

          a sin θ= m λ

the first zero occurs for m = 1, as the angles are very small

          tan θ = y / f = sin θ / cos θ

for some very small the cosine is 1

          sin θ = y / f

where f is the distance of the lens (eye)

           y / f = lam / a

in the case of the eye we have a circular slit, therefore the system must be solved in polar coordinates, giving a numerical factor

           y / f = 1.22 λ / D

           y = 1.22 λ f / D

where D is the diameter of the eye

          D = 2R₀

          D = 2 0.1

          D = 0.2 cm

           

the eye has its highest sensitivity for lam = 550 10⁻⁹ m (green light), let's use this wavelength for the calculation

         

* normal eye

the focal length of the normal eye can be accommodated to give a focus on the immobile retian, so let's use the constructor equation

      \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

sustitute

       \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{25} + \frac{1}{1.5}

       \frac{1}{f}= 0.7066

        f = 1.415 cm

therefore the diffraction is

        y = 1.22  550 10⁻⁹  1.415  / 0.2

        y = 4.75 10⁻⁶ m

this is the radius, the diffraction diameter is

       d = 2y

       d_normal = 9.49 10⁻⁶ m

* myopic eye

In the statement they indicate that the distance to the object is p = 15 cm, the retina is at the same distance, it does not move, q = 1.5 cm

       \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{ 1.5}

        \frac{1}{f}= 0.733

         f = 1.36 cm

diffraction is

        y = 1.22 550 10-9 1.36 10-2 / 0.2 10--2

        y = 4.56 10-6 m

the diffraction diameter is

        d_myope = 2y

         d_myope = 9.16 10-6 m

         \frac{d_{normal}}{d_{myope}} = 9.49 /9.16

        \frac{d_{normal}}{d_{myope}} =  1.04

we can see that the two diameters have the same order of magnitude and are very close to each other

Why is it necessary to centrifuge out any precipitate formed in the unknown solution and continue testing the remaining unknown
jonny [76]

Answer:

Precipitation is the formation of a solid from a solution. It is necessary to centrifuge the precipitate to exert sufficient forces of gravity to bring the solid particles in the solution to come together and settle

Explanation:

When you centrifuge precipitate it enables the nucleation to form.

Centrifuging the precipitate helps in determining whether a certain element is present in a solution or not.

While Bob is demonstrating the gravitational force on falling objects to his class, he drops an 1.0 lb bag of feathers from the
____ [38]

As per the question Bob drops the bag full with feathers from the top of the building.

The mass of the bag(m)= 1.0 lb

Let the air resistance is neglected.As the bag is under free fall ,hence the only force that acts on the bag is the force of gravity which is in vertical downward direction.

Here the acceleration produced on bag due to the free fall will be nothing else except the acceleration due to gravity i.e g =9.8 m/s^2


Here we are asked to calculate the distance travelled by the bag at the instant 1.5 s

Hence time t= 1.5 s

From equation of kinematics we know that -

                S=ut + 0.5at^2     [ here S is the distance travelled]

For motion under free fall initial velocity (u)=0.

Hence   S= 0×1.5+{0.5×(-9.8)×(1.5)^2}

           ⇒ -S =0-11.025 m

            ⇒ S= 11.025 m

                   =11 m

Here the negative sign is taken only due to the vertical downward motion of the body .we may take is positive depending on our frame of reference .


Hence the correct option is B.
