Answer:

option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

one body has only vertical acceleration while the other has vertical and horizontal both the accelerations.

The time of fall of both the bodies is same

h = 0.5gt²

as initial vertical velocity for both the bodies is zero and the height from which they fall is same, so the time of fall for both the bodies is same.

Option (A) is correct.

Answer:a

Explanation:

Given

two bodies are falling with negligible air Resistance and one of the body is given a slight horizontal acceleration

since there is no change in vertical acceleration therefore time taken by both bodies is same irrespective of change in horizontal direction

suppose both start from rest from a height of h

time taken

t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

The only difference is that body with horizontal acceleration will be some distance away from first

Sometimes a person cannot clearly see objects close up or far away. To correct this type of vision, bifocals are often used. The
Rudik [331]

Answer:

1)   P₁ = -2 D,   2) P₂ = 6 D

Explanation:

for this exercise in geometric optics let's use the equation of the constructor

          \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

where f is the focal length, p and q are the distance to the object and the image, respectively

1) to see a distant object it must be at infinity (p = ∞)

          \frac{1}{f_1} = \frac{1}{q}

           q = f₁

2) for an object located at p = 25 cm

            \frac{1}{f_2} = \frac{1}{25} + \frac{1}{q}

We can that in the two expressions we have the distance to the image, this is the distance where it can be seen clearly in general for a normal person is q = 50 cm

we substitute in the equations

1) f₁ = -50 cm

2)  

        \frac{1}{f_2} = \frac{1}{25} + \frac{1}{50}

        \frac{1}{f_2} = 0.06

         f₂ = 16.67 cm

the expression for the power of the lenses is

          P = \frac{1}{f}

where the focal length is in meters

           

1)       P₁ = 1/0.50

        P₁ = -2 D

2)     P₂ = 1 /0.16667

        P₂ = 6 D

A lens collects light and focuses it into a small spot. This increases the ________ of the light wave.A lens collects light and
Anika [276]

Answer:

intensity.

Explanation:

when the light collected by the lens is focused into a small spot it tends to increase the intensity of the light.

as different path of light with different intensity combines from passing through the lens it tends to make the light path and intensity coherent and after being coherent there intensity increases.

The amount of the lighted side of the moon you can see is the same during
attashe74 [19]

<u>Answer:</u>

The amount of the lighted side of the moon you can see is the same during "how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces Earth".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Moon is in sequential rotation with Earth, and thus displays the Sun, the close side, always on the same side. Thanks to libration, Earth can display slightly greater than half (nearly 59 per cent) of the entire lunar surface.

The side of the Moon facing Earth is considered the near side, and the far side is called the reverse. The far side is often referred to as the "dark side" inaccurately but it is actually highlighted as often as the near side: once every 29.5 Earth days. During the New Moon the near side becomes blurred.

Compare and contrast the terms vaporizing and condensation.
JulsSmile [24]
The terms are both about changing states. Vaporizing is when you heat something up into a vapor; condensation is when you lower a vapors temperature to make it become a liquid state.
