An elderly sailor is shipwrecked on a desert island but manages to save his eyeglasses. The lens for one eye has a power of 1.16

diopters, and the other lens has a power of 9.37 diopters. What is the magnifying power of the telescope he can construct with these lenses

Answer:

m = 8

Explanation:

A telescope is a device that allows us to see objects that were very far from us, it is built by the combination of two lenses, the one with the lowest focal length near the eye and that is the one or the one with the greatest focal length, the most eye-flounder . The magnification of the telescope is

            m = - f₀ / f_{e}

Where f₀ is the focal length of the lens and f_{e} is the false distance of the eyepiece.

It is this problem that gives us the diopter of each lens, these are related to the focal length in meters

           D = 1 / f

Let's find the focal length

       f₁ = 1 / D₁

       f₁ = 1 / 1.16

       f₁ = 0.862 m

     

        f₂ = 1 / 9.37

        f₂ = 0.1067 m

Therefore, the lens with f₂ is the eyepiece and the slow one with the  

distance focal  f₁ is the objective.

Let's calculate

       m = - f₂ / f₁

      m = - 0.862 / 0.1067

      m = 8

What is the gravitational force on a 70kg that is 6.38x10^6m above the earths surface
NARA [144]

Answer:

171.5 N

Explanation:

The gravitational force on an object due to the Earth is given by

F=mg

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

The acceleration due to gravity at a certain height h above the Earth is given by

g=\frac{GM}{(R+h)^2}

where:

G is the gravitational constant

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg is the Earth's mass

R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m is the Earth's radius

Here,

h=6.38\cdot 10^6  m

So the acceleration due to gravity is

g=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24})}{(6.37\cdot 10^6 + 6.38\cdot 10^6)^2}=2.45 m/s^2

We know that the mass of the object is

m = 70 kg

So, the gravitational force on it is

F=mg=(70)(2.45)=171.5 N

If the resistance of dry skin is 200 times larger than the resistance of wet skin, how do the maximum voltages without shock com
Lelu [443]

Answer:

<em> B) The voltage on dry skin needs to be 200 times larger than the voltage on wet skin.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

This is the complete question

A person will feel a shock when a current of greater than approximately 100μ A flows between his index finger and thumb. If the resistance of dry skin is 200 times larger than the resistance of wet skin, how do the maximum voltages without shock compare in each scenario?

A) The voltage on dry skin needs to be 200 times smaller than the voltage on wet skin.

B) The voltage on dry skin needs to be 200 times larger than the voltage on wet skin.

C) The voltage on dry skin is the same as the voltage on wet skin.

D) The voltage on dry skin needs to be 40,000 times larger than the voltage on wet skin.

Ohm's law states that electric current is proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.

the equation is written as

V = IR

Where V is the voltage

I is the current

R is the resistance

for this case, the current I is 100μ A = 100 x 10^16 A

resistance of wet skin = R

resistance of dry skin = 200R

for the wet skin, voltage will be

V = IR = 100*10^{-6} R

for dry skin, voltage will be

V = IR = 100*10^{-6}*200R = 0.02R

Comparing both voltages

0.02R ÷  100*10^{-6} R  = 200

<em>this means that the voltage on the wet skin should be 200 times lesser than the voltage on the dry skin or the voltage on the dry skin should be 200 times more than the voltage on the wet skin.</em>

A head-on, elastic collision between two particles with equal initial speed v leaves the more massive particle (mass m1) at rest
ZanzabumX [31]
<span>1/3 The key thing to remember about an elastic collision is that it preserves both momentum and kinetic energy. For this problem I will assume the more massive particle has a mass of 1 and that the initial velocities are 1 and -1. The ratio of the masses will be represented by the less massive particle and will have the value "r" The equation for kinetic energy is E = 1/2MV^2. So the energy for the system prior to collision is 0.5r(-1)^2 + 0.5(1)^2 = 0.5r + 0.5 The energy after the collision is 0.5rv^2 Setting the two equations equal to each other 0.5r + 0.5 = 0.5rv^2 r + 1 = rv^2 (r + 1)/r = v^2 sqrt((r + 1)/r) = v The momentum prior to collision is -1r + 1 Momentum after collision is rv Setting the equations equal to each other rv = -1r + 1 rv +1r = 1 r(v+1) = 1 Now we have 2 equations with 2 unknowns. sqrt((r + 1)/r) = v r(v+1) = 1 Substitute the value v in the 2nd equation with sqrt((r+1)/r) and solve for r. r(sqrt((r + 1)/r)+1) = 1 r*sqrt((r + 1)/r) + r = 1 r*sqrt(1+1/r) + r = 1 r*sqrt(1+1/r) = 1 - r r^2*(1+1/r) = 1 - 2r + r^2 r^2 + r = 1 - 2r + r^2 r = 1 - 2r 3r = 1 r = 1/3 So the less massive particle is 1/3 the mass of the more massive particle.</span>
