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

top half of the lens is used to view distant objects and the bottom half of the lens is used to view objects close to the eye. A person can clearly see objects only if they are located between 34 cm and 180 cm away from his eyes. Bifocal lenses are used to correct his vision. What power lens (in diopters) should be used in the top half of the lens to allow him to clearly see distant objects

Answer:

The power of top half of the lens is 0.55 Diopters.

Explanation:

Since, the person can see an object at a distance between 34 cm and 180 cm away from his eyes. Therefore, 180 cm must be the focal length of the upper part of lens, as the top half of the lens is used to see the distant objects.

The general formula for power of a lens is:

Power = 1/Focal Length in meters

Therefore, for the top half of the lens:

Power = 1/1.8 m

<u>Power = 0.55 Diopters</u>

A spring with a spring constant of 165 N/m is attached to a 2.0 kg mass and set into motion.
marin [14]

Explanation:

We have,

Spring constant of the spring, k = 165 N/m

Mass, m = 2 kg

It is required to find the period of the mass-spring system. For the spring mass system, the period is given by :

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k} }\\\\T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{2}{165} }\\\\T=0.69\ s

The frequency of vibration is reciprocal of its time period. So,

f=\dfrac{1}{T}\\\\f=\dfrac{1}{0.69}\\\\f=1.44\ Hz

So, the period of the mass-spring system is 0.69 s and frequency is 1.44 Hz.

An apple falls out of a tree from a height of 2.3m. what is the impact speed of the apple
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:6.71 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Apple fall from a height of h=2.3 m  

We need to find the impact speed of apple which can be given by using

v^2-u^2=2gh  

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

h=Displacement

Assuming initial velocity to be zero

substituting the value we get

v^2-0=2\times 9.8\times 2.3  

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 2.3}  

v=6.71\ m/s

Two particles are separated by a certain distance. the force of gravitational interaction between them is f0. now the separation
12345 [234]
 <span>as i recall, gravity is relative to the square of the distance. 

so if the distance is tripled, then the gravitational attraction would be reduced by 3^2 or 1/9. 
so F1 = F0/9 


if the satellite is 2R from the center, and is moved to 4R (doubled would be 3R, tripled is 4R) then the distance is twice, and gravity would be 2^2 or 1/4.

How can you change the phases of matter using thermal energy
Leokris [45]

Answer:

These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance.

The force of gravity between two objects depends on the objects’ mass and (4 points) Select one: a. their shapes b. what they ar
konstantin123 [22]

There is an equation for this, and it will help us answer the question:

F = G × m₁*m₂ ÷ r²

The question already tells us the force of gravity between two objects depends on the objects' mass. Now we have to find a second factor.

Their shapes are not a secondary factor to this question.

What they are made of is not a factor to the gravitational force between the two.

Their weights have nothing to do with this either.

However, the distance does. According to the equation

F = G × m₁*m₂ ÷ r²

r² is the radius, or in other words, the distance between the two masses from their center of gravity. Therefore the distance and masses of two objects are what affect the gravitational pull between the two.

Have a nice day!
