Answer:

B. Using diverging lenses to help a nearsighted person by moving the image from in front of the retina to the retina

Explanation:

To see an object, the light rays coming from the object must converge on the retina. Nearsightedness or myopia is the condition where the rays get converged before (or in front of) the retina. Thus the image on the retina will not be clear and the observer will not be able to see nearby objects.

To correct this we use a diverging lens which shifts the converging point or focus to the retina.

The kinetic energy of the child at the bottom of the incline is 106.62 J.

The given parameters:

Mass of the child, m = 16 kg
Length of the incline, L = 2 m
Angle of inclination, θ = 20⁰

The vertical height of fall of the child from the top of the incline is calculated as;

$sin(20) = \frac{h}{2} \\\\h = 2 \times sin(20)\\\\h = 0.68 \ m$

The gravitational potential energy of the child at the top of the incline is calculated as;

$P.E = mgh\\\\P.E = 16 \times 9.8 \times 0.68\\\\P.E = 106.62 \ J$

Thus, based on the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, the kinetic energy of the child at the bottom of the incline is 106.62 J since no energy is lost to friction.
