A physicist's right eye is presbyopic (i.e., farsighted). This eye can see clearly only beyond a distance of 97 cm, which makes

it difficult for the physicist to read books and journals. Find the focal length and power of a lens that will correct this presbyopia for a reading distance of 25 cm, when worn 2 cm in front of the eye

Answer:

f = 19,877 cm   and  P = 5D

Explanation:

This is a lens focal length exercise, which must be solved with the optical constructor equation

        1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

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

In this case the object is placed p = 25 cm from the eye, to be able to see it clearly the image must be at q = 97 cm from the eye

let's calculate

        1 / f = 1/97 + 1/25

        1 / f = 0.05

        f = 19,877 cm

the power of a lens is defined by the inverse of the focal length in meters

         P = 1 / f

         P = 1 / 19,877 10-2

         P = 5D

A package of mass 5 kg sits on an airless asteroid of mass 7.6 × 1020 kg and radius 8.0 × 105 m. We want to launch the package i
Effectus [21]

Answer:

s =  1.7 m

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following:

Mass of package (m) = 5 kg

mass of the asteriod (M) = 7.6 x 10^{20} kg

radius = 8 x 10^5 m

velocity of package (v) = 170 m/s

spring constant (k) = 2.8 N/m

compression (s) = ?

Assuming that no non conservative force is acting on the system here, the initial and final energies of the system will be the same. Therefore  

• Ei = Ef

• Ei = energy in the spring + gravitational potential energy of the system

• Ei = \frac{1}{2}ks^{2} + \frac{GMm}{r}

• Ef = kinetic energy of the object

• Ef = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}  

• \frac{1}{2}ks^{2} + (-\frac{GMm}{r}) = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}  

• s = \sqrt{\frac{m}[k}(v^{2}+\frac{2GM}{r})}

s = \sqrt{\frac{5}[2.8 x 10^5}(170^{2}+\frac{2 x 6.67 x10^{-11} x 7.6 x 10^{20}}{8 x 10^5})}

s =  1.7 m

State three differences between solid friction and viscosity​
Mrrafil [7]
Difference between solid friction and viscosity is as follows: Viscosity is proportional to the surface area whereas solid friction is independent of area of solid surfaces in contact. Viscous force on the body depends upon its velocity in the viscous media. But, friction does not depend on the velocity of the body.

How can acceleration be changed without changing speed?
katrin [286]
Since velocity is a speed and a direction, there are only two ways for you to accelerate: change your speed or change your direction—or change both. If you're not changing your speed and you're not changing your direction, then you simply cannot be accelerating—no matter how fast you're going.
