Average velocity of car= 100 km/h south.

Explanation:

displacement of car=- 200 km (negative because car is moving south)

time= 2 hours

average velocity= Total displacement/ total time

average velocity=-200/2

average velocity= -100 km/h

thus the average velocity of car is 100 km/h south

Where is the near point of an normal eye when accidentally wear a contact lens with a power of +2.0 diopters?

Lerok [7]

Answer:

The near point of an eye with power of +2 dopters, u' = - 50 cm

Given:

Power of a contact lens, P = +2.0 diopters

Solution:

To calculate the near point, we need to find the focal length of the lens which is given by:

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

where

f = focal length

Thus

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

f = $\frac{1}{2}$ = + 0.5 m

The near point of the eye is the point distant such that the image formed at this point can be seen clearly by the eye.

Now, by using lens maker formula:

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{u'}$

where

u = object distance = 25 cm = 0.25 m = near point of a normal eye

u' = image distance

Now,

$\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}$

$\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{0.5} - \frac{1}{0.25}$

$\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}$

Solving the above eqn, we get:

u' = - 0.5 m = - 50 cm

The pilot of an aircraft wishes to fly due west in a 33.9 km/h wind blowing toward the south. The speed of the aircraft in the a

diamong [38]

Answer: $\theta =9.96^{\circ}$ North of west

Explanation:

Given

Plane wishes to fly in west

but wind with speed 33.9 km/h towards south obstructing its path

so plane must fly at an angle of \theta w.r.t west such that it final velocity is towards west

Plane absolute speed=195 km/h

To fly towards west velocity in Y direction should be zero

thus $195sin\theta =33.9$

$\theta =9.96^{\circ}$

so Plane should head towards $9.96^{\circ}$ North of west in order to fly in west.

So plane

actual velocity is

$v=-195cos9.96\hat{i}+195sin9.96\hat{j}$

A sealed container holding 0.0255 L of an ideal gas at 0.981 atm and 65 ∘ C is placed into a refrigerator and cooled to 41 ∘ C w

user100 [1]

Answer:

0.911 atm

Explanation:

In this problem, there is no change in volume of the gas, since the container is sealed.

Therefore, we can apply Gay-Lussac's law, which states that:

"For a fixed mass of an ideal gas kept at constant volume, the pressure of the gas is proportional to its absolute temperature"

Mathematically:

$p\propto T$

where

p is the gas pressure

T is the absolute temperature

For a gas undergoing a transformation, the law can be rewritten as:

$\frac{p_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2}{T_2}$

where in this problem:

$p_1=0.981 atm$ is the initial pressure of the gas

$T_1=65^{\circ}+273=338 K$ is the initial absolute temperature of the gas

$T_2=41^{\circ}+273=314 K$ is the final temperature of the gas

Solving for p2, we find the final pressure of the gas:

$p_2=\frac{p_1 T_2}{T_1}=\frac{(0.981)(314)}{338}=0.911 atm$
