It's 100% (D).  The speed of light is the same, in all frames of reference,
and no matter whether the source or the observer is moving, or how fast,
or in what direction, or for how long, or what day it is.

A nearsighted person wants to see an apple that is 7 meters away but can only clearly see objects that are at most 62 cm away fr
natulia [17]

Answer:

The power of the corrective lenses is 3.162 D.

Explanation:

Given that,

Object distance = 70 cm

Image distance = 62 cm

Distance between eyes and glasses = 2.5 cm

Eyeglasses made of diverging corrective lenses can help her to see the apple clearly

So now ,

Object distance from glass =70-2.5 = 67.5 cm

Image distance from glass = 62-2.5 = 59.5 cm

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula for focal length

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}

\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{1}{59.5}-\dfrac{1}{67.5}

\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{508}{16065}\ cm

We need to calculate the power of lens

Using formula of power

P=\dfrac{100}{f}

P=-\dfrac{508}{16065}\times100

P=-3.162 \ D

Negative sign shows the lens is diverging.

Hence, The power of the corrective lenses is 3.162 D.

A 6V radio with a current of 2A is turned on for 5 minutes. Calculate the energy transferred in joules
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

R=V/I=6/2=3ohm

time =5minutes =5*60=300seconds

I=2A

Heat =I^2Rt=(2)^2*3*300=4*900=3600J

If the timber weighs 670 N, calculate its angle of inclination when the water surface is 2.1 m above the pivot. Above what depth
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Q = 40.1 degrees

Explanation:

Given:

- The weight of the timber W = 670 N

- Water surface level from pivot y = 2.1 m

- The specific density of water Y = 9810 N / m^3

- Dimension of timber = (0.15 x 0.15 x 0.0036) m

Find:

- The angle of inclination Q that the timber makes with the horizontal.

Solution:

- Calculate the Flamboyant Force F_b acting upwards at a distance x along the timber, which is unknown:

                                   F_b = Y * V_timber

                                   F_b = 9810*0.15*0.15*x

                                   F_b = 226.7*x N

- Take static equilibrium conditions for the timber, and take moments about the pivot:

                                   (M)_p = 0

                                   W*0.5*3.6*cos(Q) - x/2 * F_b*cos(Q) = 0

- Plug values in:

                                   670*0.5*3.6 - x^2 * 0.5*226.7 = 0

                                   x^2 = 1206 / 113.35

                                   x = 3.26 m

- Now use the value of x and vertical height y to compute the angle of inclination to be:

                                   sin(Q) = y / x

                                   sin(Q) = 2.1 / 3.26

                                   Q = sin^-1 (0.6441718)

                                   Q = 40.1 degrees

Dissolving common salt in water is physical or chemical change?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer: Physical

Explanation: There are no changes being done to the salt. Think of it this way, if you dissolve the salt in water then boil the water completely, you will have the same salt you started with.
