Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

It is given that,

A person swims to the other end of a 20m long pool and back.

We need to find his displacement.

Displacement = shortest path covered

He reaches at the same position as from where he has started. It means the shortest path covered is equal to 0 i.e. his displacement is zero.

An individual is nearsighted; his near point is 13.0 cm and his far point is 50.4 cm. what lens power is needed to correct his n

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

= -1.984 Diopters

Explanation:

The lens should form an upright, virtual image at the far point.

Therefore;

The image distance, V will be -50.4 cm, since the image is virtual.

For objects at very far distant the object distance,u, will be ∞ ; This means that focal length, f, will be equivalent to image distance, v, that is -50.4 cm

Therefore; f = -50.4/100 = -0.504 m

But, since Power of a lens, P, is given by the reciprocal of focal length in meters, (1/f)

Then, power will be given by;

Power = 1/f

= 1/-0.504 m

=- 1.984

Power is measured in Diopters

Hence <u>= -1.984 Diopters</u>

You have designed and constructed a solenoid to produce a magnetic field equal in magnitude to that of the Earth (5.0 10-5 T). I

saul85 [17]

Answer:

$I = 0.03637 A$

Explanation:

The given data in the question is

Magnetic field : $B = 5.0 \times 10^{-5} T$

Turns : $N = 350$

Length : $L = 32 cm = 0.32 m$

So, number of turns per unit length :

$n=\frac{N}{L}$

$n=\frac{350\: turns}{0.32 m}$

$n=1093.75 \: turns \: per \: meter$

If current is I , then magnetic field is given by

$B = \mu_{0} \times n \times I$

Also,

$I = \frac{B}{\mu_{0} \times n}$

Insert the values

$I = \frac{5.0 \times 10^{-5}}{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times 1093.75} A$

$I = 0.03637 A$

The current will be $I = 0.03637 A$

sattari [20]

Wind power is produced from the wind turbines or sails that uses air flow to convert it into mechanical power. It is an alternative to fossil fuel burning, it is all around, renewable, clean, produces no greenhouse gases and uses little land. The advantages of wind power have been greatly praised by many. However, it has disadvantages. Wind power especially at farm is noisy and may spoil the view for their neighboring people. Also the amount of electricity depends on the strength of the wind. If no wind is around, no electricity is produced.
