<span>On what:

f (is the focal length of the lens) = ? 
p (is the distance from the object to the lens) =15.8 cm
p' (is the distance from the image to the spherical lens) = 4.2 cm

</span><span>Using the Gaussian equation, to know where the object is situated (distance from the point).
</span>
\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{p'}
\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{15.8} + \frac{1}{4.2}
\frac{1}{f} = \frac{2.1}{33.18} + \frac{7.9}{33.18}
\frac{1}{f} =  \frac{10}{33.18}
Product of extremes equals product of means:
10*f = 1*33.18
10f = 33.18
f =  \frac{33.18}{10}
\boxed{\boxed{f = 3.318\:cm}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

Assuming acceleration due to gravity of the moon is constant and there’s no initial velocity in the mans jump we can use one of the kinematic equations. x(final)=x(initial)+(1/2)gt^2. Plug in known values. 0=10-(1.62/2)t^2. The value 1.62 is acceleration of gravity on the moon. Now simply solve for t. t=3.513

balu736 [363]
I believe the answer is D, Heat exhaustion involves a lack of sweating, while heat stroke involves extreme sweating. Also just to add the on if heat exhaustion is left untreated then it could turn into a heat stroke.
