Answer:

Option (D) 1.778 diopters

Given:

Near point of a person = 45 cm

Solution:

To calculate the prescription's lens power of the person:

Near point for a normal human eye = 25 cm

So, object distance, u = 25 cm

For an object to be clearly seen by the person, the image formation should be at his near point i.e., 45 cm and the image formed will be virtual in nature.

Therefore,

image distance, v = - 45 cm (since, the image formed is virtual and behind the mirror)

Now, using lens maker's formula:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}

where

f = focal length                          

Putting the values of u and v in the above formula, we get:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{25} - \frac{1}{45}

f = 56.24 cm 0.5624

Now, power is the reciprocal of focal length and is given by:

Power, P = \frac{1}{f}

            P = \frac{1}{0.5624}              

            P = 1.778 diopters

Calculate the final speed of a 110-kg rugby player who is initially running at 8.00 m/s but collides head-on with a padded goalp
Contact [7]
<span>The answer is -0.8 m/s. We know acceleration is the average of final minus initial velocity over time (a = (vf-v0)/t). We also know that Force is equal to Mass times Acceleration (F = ma). Using our force equation, we know that the acceleration we get is negative 8.8 (-8.8). The force is acting in the opposite direction of the rugby player, hence the negative sign. From there, plug in that number for a in the velocity equation, and solve for vf, as v0 and t are known. We get 0.8 m/s in the opposite direction that the player was running.</span>
