While hammering a nail, you put in 30 Joules of work. The hammer then puts out 10 J of
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

C    Don't worry if you thought it was D. I almost answered that.

Explanation:

Remark

You can get this just by learning the vocabulary.

Efficiency = Work Out / Work In * 100%

Work in = 30J      That's you swinging the hammer.

Work out = 10 J    That's how much of the hammer's work gets to the nail.

Efficiency = (10/30)*100

Efficiency = 1/3 * 100

Efficiency = 33%

A ball is thrown straight upward. How does the sign of the work done by gravity while the ball is traveling upward compare with
Vlada [557]
If I’m understanding this. Th reason why the ball can resist gravity’s pull is because the force used to throw it up was greater than gravity’s pull on it. BTW, gravity’s pull is 9.8m/s. So it would have to be greater than that

The eyes of many older people have lost the ability to accommodate, and so an older person’s near point may be more than 25 cm f
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Smaller refractive power

Explanation:

The refractive power of an eye is the extent to which it can converge or diverge the light rays.

Near point is the the closest point for an eye such that when an object is placed at that point the image it forms is sharp and clearly visible to the eye.

A the person ages, the ciliary muscles of the eyes weakens and as a result the lens contracts and the formation of the image takes place behind the retina instead of forming at the retina.

Thus the near point also increases and the refractive power becomes smaller.
