A person can see clearly up close but cannot focus on objects beyond 75.0 cm. She opts for contact lenses to correct her vision.

Answer:

(a) nearsighted

(b) diverging

(c) the lens strength in diopters is 1.33 D, and considering the convention for divergent lenses normally prescribed as: -1 33 D

Explanation:

(a) The person is nearsighted because he/she cannot see objects at distances larger than 75 cm.

(b) the type of correcting lens has to be such that it counteracts the excessive converging power of the eye of the person, so the lens has to be diverging (which by the way carries by convention a negative focal length)

(c) the absolute value of the focal length (f) is given by the formula:

f=\frac{1}{d} =\frac{1}{0.75} = 1.33\,D

So it would normally be written with a negative signs in front indicating a divergent lens.

A 71-kg swimmer dives horizontally off a 500-kg raft. If the diver's speed immediately after leaving the raft is 6m/s, what is t
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Momentum is used to measure the quantity of motion in an object. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

Momentum = mass * velocity

The principle of conservation of momentum states that momentum cannot be created or destroyed but  can be transferred. Therefore the momentum before and after an action is equal.

Initial momentum = Final momentum

Let m be the mass of the diver, M be the mass of the raft, u be the initial velocity of the diver, U be the initial velocity of the raft, v be the final velocity of the diver and V be the final velocity of the raft.

m = 71 kg, M = 500 kg, v = 6 m/s

Initial both the raft and diver are at rest, hence u and U is zero, hence:

mu + MU = mv + MV

71(0) + 500(0) = 71(6) + 500(V)

0 = 426 + 500(V)

500(V) = -426

V = -426/500

V = -0.852 m/s

Power Rating of a Resistor. The power rating of a resistor is the maximum power the resistor can safely dissipate without too gr
IgorLugansk [536]

(a) 273.9 V

The power rating of the resistor is given by

P=\frac{V^2}{R}

where

P is the power rating

V is the potential difference across the resistor

R is the resistance

If the maximum power rating is P=5.0 W, and the resistance of the resistor is R=15 k\Omega = 15000 \Omega, then we can find the maximum potential difference across the resistor by re-arranging the previous equation for V:

V=\sqrt{PR}=\sqrt{(5.0 W)(15000 \Omega)}=273.9 V

(b) 1.6 W

In this case, we have:

R=9.0 k\Omega = 9000 \Omega is the resistance of the resistor

V=120 V is the potential difference across the resistor

So we can find the power rating by using the same formula of part (a):

P=\frac{V^2}{R}=\frac{(120 V)^2}{9000 \Omega}=1.6 W

(c) Maximum voltage: 14.1 V; Rate of heat: 2.00 W and 3.00 W

Here we have two resistors of

R_1 = 100 \Omega\\R_2 = 150 \Omega

and each resistor has a power rating of

P = 2.00 W

So the greatest potential difference allowed in the first resistor is

V=\sqrt{PR_1}=\sqrt{(2.00 W)(100 \Omega)}=14.1 V

While the greatest potential difference allowed in the second resistor is

V=\sqrt{PR_2}=\sqrt{(2.00 W)(150 \Omega)}=17.3 V

So the greatest potential difference allowed not to overheat either of the resistor is 14.1 V.

In this condition, the power dissipated on the first resistor is 2.00 W, while the power dissipated on the second resistor is

P_2 = \frac{V^2}{R_2}=\frac{(14.1 V)^2}{150 \Omega}=1.33 W

And this corresponds to the rate of heat generated in the first resistor (2.00 W) and in the second resistor (1.33 W).

A mature thunderstorm will contain both updrafts and downdrafts. True or False
jasenka [17]

A mature thunderstorm will contain both updraft and downdrafts. The given statement is true.

When the cumulus cloud becomes very large, the water in it becomes large and heavy. Raindrops start to fall through the cloud when the rising air can no longer hold them up. Meanwhile, cool dry air starts to enter the cloud. Because cool air is heavier than warm air, it starts to descend in the cloud (known as a downdraft). The downdraft pulls the heavy water downward, making rain.

This cloud has become a cumulonimbus cloud because it has an updraft, a downdraft, and rain. Thunder and lightning start to occur, as well as heavy rain. The cumulonimbus is now a thunderstorm cell.

In classical physics, consider a 2 kg block hanging on a spring with a spring constant of 50 N/m. Ignore air resistance. The blo
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

v = 0

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by taking into account:

- The equation for the calculation of the period in a spring-masss system

T = \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }     ( 1 )

- The equation for the velocity of a simple harmonic motion

x = \frac{2\pi }{T}Asin(\frac{2\pi }{T}t)   ( 2 )

where m is the mass of the block, k is the spring constant, A is the amplitude (in this case A = 14 cm) and v is the velocity of the block

Hence

T = \sqrt{\frac{2 kg}{50 N/m}} = 0.2 s

and by reeplacing it in ( 2 ):

v = \frac{2\pi }{0.2s}(14cm)sin(\frac{2\pi }{0.2s}(0.9s)) = 140\pi  sin(9\pi ) = 0

In this case for 0.9 s the velocity is zero, that is, the block is in a position with the max displacement from the equilibrium.
