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

Answer:
The center of mass of the two-ball system is 7.05 m above ground.
Explanation:
<u>Motion of 0.50 kg ball:</u>
Initial speed, u = 0 m/s
Time = 2 s
Acceleration = 9.81 m/s²
Initial height = 25 m
Substituting in equation s = ut + 0.5 at²
s = 0 x 2 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 2² = 19.62 m
Height above ground = 25 - 19.62 = 5.38 m
<u>Motion of 0.25 kg ball:</u>
Initial speed, u = 15 m/s
Time = 2 s
Acceleration = -9.81 m/s²
Substituting in equation s = ut + 0.5 at²
s = 15 x 2 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 2² = 10.38 m
Height above ground = 10.38 m
We have equation for center of gravity
m₁ = 0.50 kg
x₁ = 5.38 m
m₂ = 0.25 kg
x₂ = 10.38 m
Substituting
The center of mass of the two-ball system is 7.05 m above ground.
