Answer:
F = 0.00156[N]
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using Newton's proposed universal gravitation law.
Where:
F = gravitational force between the moon and Ellen; units [Newtos] or [N]
G = universal gravitational constant = 6.67 * 10^-11 [N^2*m^2/(kg^2)]
m1= Ellen's mass [kg]
m2= Moon's mass [kg]
r = distance from the moon to the earth [meters] or [m].
Data:
G = 6.67 * 10^-11 [N^2*m^2/(kg^2)]
m1 = 47 [kg]
m2 = 7.35 * 10^22 [kg]
r = 3.84 * 10^8 [m]
This force is very small compare with the force exerted by the earth to Ellen's body. That is the reason that her body does not float away.

Answer: f=150cm in water and f=60cm in air.
Explanation: Focal length is a measurement of how strong light is converged or diverged by a system. To find the variable, it can be used the formula:
= (nglass - ni)(
-
).
nglass is the index of refraction of the glass;
ni is the index of refraction of the medium you want, water in this case;
R1 is the curvature through which light enters the lens;
R2 is the curvature of the surface which it exits the lens;
Substituting and calculating for water (nwater = 1.3):
= (1.5 - 1.3)(
-
)
= 0.2(
)
f = = 150
For air (nair = 1):
= (1.5 - 1)(
-
)
f = = 60
In water, the focal length of the lens is f = 150cm.
In air, f = 60cm.
