Gbenga needs to get glasses to correct his farsightedness. His eyes currently cannot focus on objects that are within 2 ft (or 6

1 cm) of his eyes. This is in contrast to people with normal vision who can focus on objects as close as 25 cm in front of them. If the glasses that Gbenga will get will sit 1.6 cm in front of his eyes, what lens focal length and power would correct his vision? That is, what lens focal length and power would allow Gbenga to focus on objects that are 25 cm in front of his eyes? Will they be converging or diverging lenses?

Answer:

Focal Length = 38.61cm, Power = 2.59 Diopter, Converging lens.

Explanation:

When an object is placed 25cm from Gbenga's eye, the glasses lens must produce an image 61cm away (Gbenga's eye near point).

An image 61cm from the eye will be (61cm - 1.6cm) from the glasses.

i.e. $d_{i}=61cm-1.6cm=59.4cm$

and $d_{o} = 25cm - 1.6cm = 23.4cm$

note $d_{i}$ will be negative because the image is formed on the same side as the object.

finally, $d_{i}=-59.4cm\\d_{o}=23.4cm$

the formula for finding the focal length $f$ is given as

$f=\frac{d_{i}d_{o} }{d_{o}+d_{i} }$

$f=\frac{-59.4*23.4}{23.4-59.4} \\$

$f=\frac{-1389.96}{-36}$

$f=38.61cm$

The focal length is positive which indicates converging lens

power $p=\frac{1}{f}$

but $f\\$ must be in metres

Therefore, $f=38.61cm=0.3861m$

$p=\frac{1}{0.3861}$

$p=2.59 Diopter$

Find the moments of inertia Ix, Iy, I0 for a lamina that occupies the part of the disk x2 y2 ≤ 36 in the first quadrant if the d

Tasya [4]

Answer:

I(x) = 1444×k × ${\pi}$

I(y) = 1444×k × ${\pi}$

I(o) = 3888×k × ${\pi}$

Explanation:

Given data

function = x^2 + y^2 ≤ 36

function = x^2 + y^2 ≤ 6^2

to find out

the moments of inertia Ix, Iy, Io

solution

first we consider the polar coordinate (a,θ)

and polar is directly proportional to a²

so p = k × a²

so that

x = a cosθ

y = a sinθ

dA = adθda

so

I(x) = ∫y²pdA

take limit 0 to 6 for a and o to $\pi /2$ for θ

I(x) = $\int_{0}^{6}\int_{0}^{\pi/2}$ y²p dA

I(x) = $\int_{0}^{6}\int_{0}^{\pi/2}$ (a sinθ)²(k × a²) adθda

I(x) = k $\int_{0}^{6}a^(5)$ da × $\int_{0}^{\pi/2}$ (sin²θ)dθ

I(x) = k $\int_{0}^{6}a^(5)$ da × $\int_{0}^{\pi/2}$ (1-cos2θ)/2 dθ

I(x) = k $({r}^{6}/6)^(5)_0$ × ${θ/2 - sin2θ/4}^{\pi /2}_0$

I(x) = k × $({6}^{6}/6)$ × ( ${\pi /4} - sin\pi /4)$

I(x) = k × $({6}^{5})$ × ${\pi /4}$

I(x) = 1444×k × ${\pi}$ .....................1

and we can say I(x) = I(y) by the symmetry rule

and here I(o) will be I(x) + I(y) i.e

I(o) = 2 × 1444×k × ${\pi}$

I(o) = 3888×k × ${\pi}$ ......................2

Examine the graph showing the half-life of the radioactive isotope substance x.

kow [346]

Answer:

T_{1/2} = 5,776 10³ years

We see this life time as it is very close to the life time of carbon 14, so it could be used for dating ancient objects

Explanation:

The radioactive decay of described by an equation of the form

N = N₀ $e^{-\lambda t}$

where N is the number of atoms present, N₀ is the number of initial atoms λ is the activity of the material.

The average life time is defined as the time for which the number of remainng atoms is N = N₀ / 2

$T_{1/2}$ = ln 2 /λ

With these expressions, the best method to determine the average life time is to find the activity of the first equation.

For this we look for a point on the graph as accurate as possible,

N₀ = 100, N = 30 and t = 10,000 years

we substitute in the equation

30 = 100 e^{-\lambda 10000}

ln 0.3 = - λ 10000

λ = - (ln 0.3) / 10000

λ = 1.2 10-4

now we can find the average life time

$T_{1/2}$ = ln 2 / 1,2 10-4

T_{1/2} = 5,776 10³ years

We see this life time as it is very close to the life time of carbon 14, so it could be used for dating ancient objects
