<span>Moment = Force × Perpendicular distance from the pivot</span>

We define the turning effect with the equation: Moment = Force × Perpendicular distance from the pivot. Since force is measured in newtons (N) and distances in metres (m) the unit for a moment is the newton-metre (Nm). Moments can act in two ways: clockwise or anticlockwise.

A farsighted boy has a near point at 2.3 m and requires eyeglasses to correct his vision. Corrective lenses are available in inc

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

P = 3.5 D

Explanation:

As we know that convex lens is to be used to make the near point of eye to be correct

So we will have

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}$

here we have

$d_i = 2.3 m = 230 cm$

$d_o = 25 cm$

now plug in all values into the formula

$-\frac{1}{230} + \frac{1}{25} = \frac{1}{f}$

$f = 28 cm$

now for power of lens

$P = \frac{1}{f}$

$P = \frac{1}{0.28} = 3.5 D$

so the power in dioptre is

P = 3.5 D

The height of a circular tower is 179 meters and its diameter is 48 meters. (Assume that the building is a perfect cylinder). Wh

EastWind [94]

The definition of a scale of 1: 166 will mean that the scale of 1 in the model will be equivalent to 166 times the measurement in the real model, therefore we will have that the height would be 166 times smaller than the 179m given:

$h = \frac{179m}{166} = 1.078m = 107.8cm$

The same for the diameter,

$\phi = \frac{48m}{166}= 0.2891m = 28.91cm$

The volume of a cylinder is given as

$V = (\pi r^2)(h)$

$V = (\pi (\frac{d}{2})^2)(h)$

$V = (\pi (\frac{ 28.91}{2})^2)(107.8)$

$V = 70762.8cm^3$

Therefore the volume would be $V = 70762.8cm^3$

Which way does current always flow?

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Electrons move through the wires in the opposite direction.

Explanation:

The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery.
