A 82-kg fisherman in a 112-kg boat throws a package of mass m = 15 kg horizontally toward the right with a speed of vi = 4.8 m/s

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

0.37 m/s to the left

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved. Initial momentum = final momentum.

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

Initially, both the fisherman/boat and the package are at rest.

0 = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

Plugging in values and solving:

0 = (82 kg + 112 kg) v + (15 kg) (4.8 m/s)

v = -0.37 m/s

The boat's velocity is 0.37 m/s to the left.

A machinist with normal vision has a near point at 25 cm. The machinist wears eyeglasses in order to do close work. The power of

Alik [6]

Answer:

17.4 cm

Explanation:

Power of lens = +1.75 diopters

Focal length of lens

$f=\frac{100}{1.75}=\frac{400}{7}$

This is a convex lens as focal the diopter given is positive which makes the focal length positive. Image distance will be negative.

v = -25

$\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{-25}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{\frac{400}{7}}\\\Rightarrow -\frac{1}{u}=\frac{7}{400}+\frac{1}{25}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{u}=-\frac{7}{400}-\frac{1}{25}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{u}=-0.0575\\\Rightarrow u=-17.4\ cm$
