Answer:

Explanation:

In the calculation of distance we do not take into account the direction of movement .So only magnitude of movement is taken care of.

On the other hand , in respect of displacement , we take into account even direction of movement along with magnitude.

Distance covered by flea = 45 - 27 = 18 cm

Displacement by flea = 27 - 45 = - 18 cm

Speed = Distance covered / time

= 18 / 3 = 6 cm / s

Velocity = - 18 / 3 = - 6 cm /s.

Answer: I = 111.69 pA

Explanation: The hall effect is all about the fact that when a semiconductor is placed perpendicularly to a magnetic field, a voltage is generated which could be measured at right angle to the current path. This voltage is known as the hall voltage.

The hall voltage of a semiconductor sensor is given below as

V = I×B/qnd

Where V = hall voltage = 1.5mV =1.5/1000=0.0015V

I = current =?,

n= concentration of charge (electron density) = 5.8×10^20cm^-3 = 5.8×10^20/(100)³ = 5.8×10^14 m^-3

q = magnitude of an electronic charge=1.609×10^-19c

B = strength of magnetic field = 5T

d = thickness of sensor = 0.8mm = 0.0008m

By slotting in the parameters, we have that

0.0015 = I × 5/5.8×10^14 × 1.609×10^-19×0.0008

0.0015 = I×5/7.446×10^-8

I = (0.0015 × 7.446×10^-8)/5

I = 111.69*10^(-12)

I = 111.69 pA

The near point of a farsighted person's uncorrected eyes is 80 cm. what power contact lens should be used to move the near point
makvit [3.9K]
To solve this problem, we will get f and then we will use it to calculate the power.

So, for this farsighted person,
do = 25 cm and di = -80
Therefore:
1/f = (1/25) + (1/-80) = 0.00275 = 0.275 m

Power = 1/f = 1/0.275 = +3.6363 Diopeters.
This means that the lens is converging.
