Answer: The blocks

Explanation:
When the sprinter takes off, he/she presses hard on the block.
The blocks apply an equal and opposite force to the sprinter according to Newton's 3rd law of motion.
The reaction force from the blocks gives the sprinter the initial acceleration to begin the race.

A copper rod of cross-sectional area 11.6 cm2 has one end immersed in boiling water and the other in an ice-water mixture, which
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

0.686 g of ice melts each second.

Solution:

As per the question:

Cross-sectional Area of the Copper Rod, A = 11.6\ cm^{2} = 11.6\times 10^{- 4}\ m^{2}

Length of the rod, L = 19.6 cm = 0.196 m

Thermal conductivity of Copper, K = 390\ W/m.^{\circ}C

Conduction of heat from the rod per second is given by:

q = \frac{KA\Delta T}{L}

where

\Delta T = 100^{\circ} - 0^{\circ} = 100^{\circ}C = temperature difference between the two ends of the rod.

Thus

q = \frac{390\times 11.6\times 10^{- 4}\times 100}{0.196} = 228.48\ J/s

Now,

To calculate the mass, M of the ice melted per sec:

M = \frac{q}{L_{w}}

where

L_{w} = Latent heat of fusion of water = 333 kJ/kg

M = \frac{228.48}{333\times 10^{3}} = 6.86\times 10^{- 4}\ kg = 0.686\ g

The near point of an eye is 56.0 cm. A corrective lens is to be used to allow this eye to focus clearly on objects at the distan
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Near point = 56 cm .

near point of healthy person = 25 cm

person suffers from long sightedness

convex lens will be required .

object distance u  = 25 cm

image distance   v = 56 cm

both will be negative as both are in front of the lens.

lens formula

I/v - 1 / u = 1/f

- 1/56 +1/25 = 1/f

- .01785 + .04 = 1/f

1/f  = .02215

f = 45.15 cm .

The current in a lamp is 0.5 ampere when it is plugged into a standard wall outlet. What is the resistance of the lamp when it i
lidiya [134]

The resistance of the lamp plugged in to a standard wall outlet with a current of 0.5 amps is 240 Ω (ohms)

Explanation:

In the United States Of America the standard voltage is 120 v and their frequency is 60 Hz

Standard wall outlet voltage is 120 V

The current in the lamp is 0.5 ampere

Resistance (R) = V/ I

      = 120/0.5

      = 240Ω (ohms)

Thus the resistance of the lamp plugged in to a standard wall outlet with a current of 0.5 amps is 240 Ω (ohms).
