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

A(n) 12500 lb railroad car traveling at 7.8 ft/s couples with a stationary car of 7430 lb. The acceleration of gravity is 32 ft/
navik [9.2K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum. That is, the final momentum must be the same final momentum. And in each state, the momentum will be the sum of the product between the mass and the velocity of each object, then

\text{Initial Momentum} = \text{Final Momentum}

m_1u_1 +m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2

Here,

m_{1,2}= Mass of each object

u_{1,2}= Initial velocity of each object

v_{1,2}= Final velocity of each object

When they position the final velocities of the bodies it is the same and the car is stationary then,

m_2u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

Rearranging to find the final velocity

v_f = \frac{m_2u_2}{ (m_1+m_2)}

v_f = \frac{ 12500*7.8}{ 12500+7430}

v_f = 4.8921ft/s

The expression for the impulse received by the first car is

I = m_1 (v-u)

I = \frac{W}{g} (v-u)

Replacing,

I = \frac{12500}{32.2}(4.89-7.8)

I = -1129.65lb\cdot s

The negative sign show the opposite direction.

While spinning down from 500 rpm to rest, a flywheel does 3.9 kj of work. this flywheel is in the shape of a solid uniform disk
Ksivusya [100]

 

The answer is 4.0 kg since the flywheel comes to rest the kinetic energy of the wheel in motion is spent doing the work. Using the formula KE = (1/2) I w².

Given the following:

I =  the moment of inertia about the axis passing through the center of the wheel; w = angular velocity ; for the solid disk as I = mr² / 2 so KE = (1/4) mr²w². Now initially, the wheel is spinning at 500 rpm so w = 500 * (2*pi / 60) rad / sec = 52.36 rad / sec.

The radius = 1.2 m and KE = 3900 J

3900 J = (1/4) m (1.2)² (52.36)²

m = 3900 J / (0.25) (1.2)² (52.36)²

m = 3.95151 ≈ 4.00 kg

We're told that the planets have EQUAL MASS.

If that's true, then the strength of the gravitational forces between
each planet and the star depends only on the distance between
them ... the farther a planet is from the star, the smaller the
gravitational forces are IF we're talking about planets with
equal masses.

Planet-X is closer to the star, and Planet-Y is farther from it. 
From this we know that the gravitational forces between the
star and Planet-X are greater, and the forces between the star
and Planet-Y are smaller.

'A' says this.

'B' is totally absurd, because it talks about gravity repelling things.

'C' says exactly the opposite for the two planets.

'D' says that distance doesn't matter.  We know this is absurd,
simply because we're never pulled toward Jupiter in our daily life.
