Answer:

Long sight occurs when the eyeball is too short or the lens is too thin, or both. As a result, light rays from near objects are focused behind the retina because the light rays are not converged enough. The image formed on the retina is therefore out of focus.

To correct this problem, people can wear glasses with convex lenses. Light rays from near objects are converged by the convex lenses before entering the eyes, so that light can be focused on the retina to form a sharp image. Additionally, long sight can also be corrected by surgical methods such as LASIK.

Answer:

The horizontal distance travelled in that time lapse is 12.94 m

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we'll need:

The horizontal speed
the time the hammer takes to fall from the roof to the ground

At the lowest point of the roof, the hammer has a 9.88 m/s speed that makes an angle of 27° with the horizontal, so we can calculate the horizontal and vertical speed with trigonometry. If we take right as x positive and down as y positive we get

$v_{x}=v*cos(27)=9.88 m/s *cos(27)=8.80 m/s \\v_{y}=v*sen(27)=9.88 m/s *sen(27)=4.49 m/s$

Now, we make two movement equation as we have a URM (no acceleration) in x and an ARM (gravity as acceleration) in y. We will wisely pick the lowest point of the roof as the origin of coordinates

$x(t)=8.8 m/s *t$

$y(t)=4.49m/s*t+\frac{1}{2}*9.8m/s^{2}*t^{2}$

Now we calculate the time the hammer takes to get to the floor

$17.1m=4.49m/s*t+\frac{1}{2}*9.8m/s^{2}*t^{2}\\t=1.47s$ or $t=-2.38s$

Now, we keep the positive time result and calculate the horizontal distance travelled

$x(1.47s)=8.8m/s*1.47s=12.94m$

coldgirl [10]

Answer: from the vertical, one should aim 86.6°

Explanation:

height of the center of object = 7.0 m - 0.05 m = 6.95 m

now let the bullet hits centre at point A height x meters from the ground

also let t be the time taken for the bullet to hit the object

so distance travelled by the target will be

d = h - x = 6.95 - x

now using the equation of motion

d = 1/2gt²

so 1/2gt² = 6.95 - x

x = 6.95 - 1/2gt² .........let this be equ 1

let angle of fire be ∅

so v(cos∅) × t = 100

our velocity v is 1200 ft/sec = 365.76 m/s

365.76(cos∅) × t = 100 ........equ 2

also vertical position of the bullet after t is

y = y₀ + c(sin∅)t - 1/2gt²

y = 1 + 365.76(sin∅)t - 1/2gt² ----- equ 3

After time t. the vertical position x and y are same, else the bullet wouldn't have strike target at centre, so;

x = y

we substitute

equ 1 = equ 3

6.95 - 1/2gt² = 1 + 365.76(sin∅)t - 1/2gt²

6.95 - 1 = 365.76(sin∅)t - 1/2gt² + 1/2gt²

5.95 = 365.76(sin∅)t

t = 5.96 / 365.76(sin∅)

now input the above equ into equ 2

365.76(cos∅) × 5.96/365.76(sin∅) = 100

5.95(cos∅)/sin∅ = 100

tan∅ = 5.95/100 = 0.0595

∅ = 3.40°

therefore from the vertical, one should aim (90° - 3.40°) = 86.6°

Question #14

Katena32 [7]

The decrease in energy in the hydrogen molecule is what allows its formation on Earth, but in stars the great energy of the explosion has a kinetic energy so great that electrons cannot bind to another atom, which is why hydrogen has a single atom.

The hydrogen molecule is a form that two hydrogen atoms share their electrons decreasing the total energy of the molecule, this bond has a covalent and hydrogen bonding characteristic.

In a stellar explosion, the energy released increases the energy of the hydrogen atom, for which we have two possibilities:

Its electron is lost, so we are in a single proton, in the case of structures where the proton and the elector are

The hydrogen atom remains but the energy of the atom is very high so the kinetic energy of the electron prevents the electron from being shared by the other atom and the molecule cannot be formed.

When the atoms are thrown into space, the separation between them is so high that it does not allow electrons to be shared and molecules cannot be formed either.

In conclusion, the decrease in energy in the hydrogen molecule is what allows its formation on Earth, but in stars the great energy of the explosion has a kinetic energy so great that electrons cannot join another atom, which is why the hydrogen has only one atom.

A swing has a period of 10 seconds. What is its frequency ?

kow [346]

Frequency = 1 / (period)

Frequency = 1 / (10 seconds) = (1/10) ( / second) = 0.1 per second = <em>0.1 Hz</em>.
