The lens changes the focal distance of the eye so that you can focus on images/objects. 
myrzilka [38]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The lens is located in the eye. By changing its shape/curvature, the lens changes the focal distance of the eye. In other words, it focuses the light rays by changing its curvature and let light pass through it in order to create clear images of objects . It also works together with the cornea to refract, or bend, light.

An ordinary workshop grindstone has a radius of 7.50 cm and rotates at 6500 rev/min. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the centripe
jonny [76]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the relationship between tangential velocity and centripetal velocity, as well as the kinematic equations of angular motion. By definition we know that the direction of centripetal acceleration is perpendicular to the direction of tangential velocity, therefore:

a_c= \frac{v^2}{r}=r\omega^2

Where,

V = the linear speed

r = Radius

\omega = Angular speed

The angular speed is given by

\omega =6500\frac{rev}{min}(\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev})(\frac{1 min}{60s})

\omega = 680.6784 rad/s.

Replacing at our first equation we have that the centripetal acceleration would be

a_c = r\omega^2

a_c = (0.0750)(680.6784)^2

a_c = 34 749.23 m/s^2

To transform it into multiples of the earth's gravity which is given as 9.8m / s the equivalent of 1g.

a_c =34749.23 \frac{m}{s^2} (1\frac{g}{9.8m/s^2})

a_c = 3545.84g

PART B) Now the linear speed would be subject to:

v = \omega r

v= (680.6784)(0.0750)

v=51.05 m/s

Therefore the linear speed of a point on its edge is 51.05m/s

A 4 kg block is launched up a 30° ramp with an initial speed of 5 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and
zlopas [31]

Answer:

The speed of the block when it has returned to the bottom of the ramp is 6.56 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of block, m =  4 kg

coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.25

angle of inclination, θ = 30°

initial speed of the block, u = 5 m/s

From Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

a = F/m

Net horizontal force;

∑F = mgsinθ + μkmgcosθ

a = \frac{F_{NET}}{m} = \frac{mgsin \theta + \mu_kmgcos \theta}{m} \\\\a = gsin \theta + \mu_kgcos \theta\\\\a = 9.8sin (30) + 0.25*9.8cos(30)\\\\a = 4.9 + 2.1217\\\\a = 7.022 \ m/s^2

At the  top of the ramp, energy is conserved;

Kinetic energy = potential energy

¹/₂mv² = mgh

¹/₂ v² = gh

¹/₂ x 5² = 9.8h

12.5 = 9.8h

h = 12.5/9.8

h = 1.28 m

Height of the ramp is 1.28 m

Now, calculate the speed of the block (in m/s) when it has returned to the bottom of the ramp;

v² = u² + 2ah

v²  = 5² + 2 x 7.022 x 1.28

v²  = 25 + 17.976

v²  = 42.976

v = √42.976

v = 6.56 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the block when it has returned to the bottom of the ramp is 6.56 m/s.

A single slit is illuminated by light of wavelengths λa and λb, chosen so that the first diffraction minimum of the λa component
agasfer [191]

Answer:

λ_A = 700 nm ,   m_B = m_a 2

Explanation:

The expression that describes the diffraction phenomenon is

         a sin θ = m λ

where a is the width of the slit, lam the wavelength and m an integer that writes the order of diffraction

a) They tell us that now lal_ A m = 1

         a sin θ = λ_A

coincidentally_be m = 2

          a sin  θ = m λ_b

as the two match we can match

         λ _A = 2 λ _B

         λ_A = 2 350 nm

         λ_A = 700 nm

b)

For lam_B

       a sin  λ_A  = m_B  λ_B

For lam_A

        a sin θ_A = m_ λ_ A

to match they must have the same angle, so we can equal

           m_B  λ_B = m_A  λ_A

           m_B = m_A  λ_A / λ_B

           m_b = m_a 700/350

           m_B = m_a 2
