Answer:

The new speed is 56.25 miles/hour.

Explanation:

Since speed = distance/time;

time = distance/speed.

While driving at 50 miles/hour, time taken for one to complete 1 mile is (1/50) hour

(1/50) hour = (1/50) × 3600s = 72 seconds.

So, if this time to complete 1 mile (72 seconds) is reduced by 8 seconds,

New time to complete 1 mile will be = 72 - 8 = 64 seconds = (64/3600) hour = 0.0178 hour

New speed would be = (1 mile/64 seconds) = (1 mile/0.0178 hour) = 56.25 miles/hour.

Hope this Helps!!!

The closest distance a book can be read from a pair of reading eyeglasses (Power = 1.55 dp) is 26.0 cm. What is the near distanc
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The image distance is 20.0 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power = 1.55 dp

Distance between book to eye = 26.0+3.00=29.0 cm

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of focal length

f = \dfrac{1}{P}

Put the value into the formula

f=\dfrac{1}{1.55}

f=0.645\ m

f=64.5\ cm

We need to calculate the image distance

Using lens formula

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{-u}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{64.5}-\dfrac{1}{-29}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{187}{3741}

v=20.0\ cm

Hence, The image distance is 20.0 cm.

From the average distance of one of jupiter's moons to jupiter and its orbital period around jupiter, we can determine:
den301095 [7]

Answer: Jupiter's mass

Explanation:

From Kepler's third law:

T^2=\frac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3

where T is the orbital period of a satellite, a is the average distance of the satellite from the Planet, M is the mass of the planet, G is the gravitational constant.

If the average distance of one of Jupiter's moons to Jupiter and its orbital period around Jupiter is given then mass of the Jupiter can be found:

\Rightarrow M_J=\frac{4\pi^2}{GT_m^2}a_m^3
