Answer:

Machine - A device consisting of fixed and moving parts that modifies mechanical energy and transmits it in a more useful form.

Mechanical advantage - Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device or machine system.

Inclined Plane - A plane set at an angle to the horizontal, especially a simple machine used to raise or lower a load by rolling or sliding.

Wedge - A piece of material, such as metal or wood, thick at one edge and tapered to a thin edge at the other for insertion in a narrow crevice, used for splitting, tightening, securing, or levering.

Screw - A cylindrical rod incised with one or more helical or advancing spiral threads, as a lead screw or worm screw.

Lever - A simple machine consisting of a rigid bar pivoted on a fixed point and used to transmit force, as in raising or moving a weight at one end by pushing down on the other.

A small mailbag is released from a helicopter that is descending steadily at 3 m/s.

mario62 [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

a) Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 32.4 m/s

b) Package is 44.1 meter below helicopter

c) If the helicopter was rising steadily at 3.00 m/s

Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 26.4 m/s

Package is 44.1 meter below helicopter

<u>Explanation:</u>

a) We have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

Initial velocity = 3 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ and time = 3 seconds.

v = 3+9.8*3 = 32.4 m/s

Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 32.4 m/s

b) We have equation of motion , $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

Velocity of helicopter = 3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 0 $m/s^2$ .

$s= 3*3+\frac{1}{2} *0*3^2\\ \\ s=9m$

Distance traveled by helicopter = 9 meter.

Velocity of package = 3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ .

$s= 3*3+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*3^2\\ \\ s= 53.1m$

Distance traveled by package = 53.1 meter.

So package is (53.1-9)meter below helicopter = 44.1 m

c) Initial velocity = -3 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ and time = 3 seconds.

v = -3+9.8*3 = 26.4 m/s

Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 26.4 m/s

Velocity of helicopter = -3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 0 $m/s^2$ .

$s= -3*3+\frac{1}{2} *0*3^2\\ \\ s=-9m$

Distance traveled by helicopter = 9 meter.

Velocity of package = -3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ .

$s= -3*3+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*3^2\\ \\ s= 35.1m$

Distance traveled by package = 35.1 meter.

So package is (35.1+9)meter below helicopter = 44.1 m

I have a combination of myopia and presbyopia—overall, the power of my visual system is too large, but I also have a very limite

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The range of powers is $- 5 \ D \le P \le - 2.667\ D$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The far point of the left eye is $n_f = 20 cm$

The near point of the left eye is $n = 15cm$

The near point with the glasses on is $n_g =25 \ cm$

From these parameter we can see that with the glass on that for near point the

Object distance would be $u = -25 \ cm$

Image distance would be $v = -15 \ cm$

To obtain the focal length we would apply the lens formula which is mathematically represented as

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u}$

substituting values

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{-15} - \frac{1}{-25}$

$f = - \frac{75}{2} cm$

converting to meters

$f = - \frac{75}{2} * \frac{1}{100}$

$f = - \frac{75}{200} \ m$

Generally the power of the lens is mathematically represented as

$P = \frac{1}{f}$

Substituting values

$P = - \frac{200}{75} m$

$P = - 2.667 \ D$

From these parameter we can see that with the glass on that for far point the

Object distance would be $u_f = - \infty \ cm$

Image distance would be $v_f = -20 \ cm$

To obtain the focal length of the lens we would apply the lens formula which is mathematically represented as

$\frac{1}{f_f} = \frac{1}{v_f} - \frac{1}{u_f}$

substituting values

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{-20} - \frac{1}{- \infty}$

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{-20} - 0$

$f_f = \frac{20}{1} \ cm$

converting to meters

$f_f = - \frac{20}{1} * \frac{1}{100}$

Generally the power of the lens is mathematically represented as

$P = \frac{1}{f_f}$

Substituting values

$P = - \frac{100}{20} m$

$P = - 5 \ D$

This implies that the range of powers of the lens in his glass is

$- 5 \ D \le P \le - 2.667\ D$
