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 worker lifts a 20.0-kg bucket of concrete from the ground up to the top of a 25.0-m tall building. The bucket is initially at
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Minimum work = 5060 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the bucket (m) = 20.0 kg

Initial speed of the bucket (u) = 0 m/s

Final speed of the bucket (v) = 4.0 m/s

Displacement of the bucket (h) = 25.0 m

Let 'W' be the work done by the worker in lifting the bucket.

So, we know from work-energy theorem that, work done by a force is equal to the change in the mechanical energy of the system.

Change in mechanical energy is equal to the sum of change in potential energy and kinetic energy. Therefore,

\Delta E=\Delta U+\Delta K\\\\\Delta E= mgh+\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)

Therefore, the work done by the worker in lifting the bucket is given as:

W=\Delta E\\\\W=mgh+\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)

Now, plug in the values given and solve for 'W'. This gives,

W=(20\ kg)(9.8\ m/s^2)(25\ m)+\frac{1}{2}(20\ kg)(4^2-0^2)\ m^2/s^2\\\\W=4900\ J +160\ J\\\\W=5060\ J

Therefore, the minimum work that the worker did in lifting the bucket is 5060 J.

At what point in its path does a baseball that is hit to the outfield have its minimum vertical speed?
ioda

Answer:

At the point when it reaches its maximum height (answer C)

Explanation:

As soon as the ball leaves the bat is has not only horizontal component of the velocity, but also vertical, which allows it travel upwards in its trajectory.

When it reaches its maximum elevation, and the trajectory starts curving down, is when the velocity of the baseball is just horizontal (the vertical component has been reduced to zero due to the constant action of the acceleration of gravity which was slowing down it ascending pattern.

After that point, the ball starts gaining now vertical velocity being accelerated towards the center of the Earth due to gravity. At the maximum height of its path is when the vertical component of the velocity switches from positive (pointing up) to negative (pointing down) going through zero magnitude.
