Answer:

Short sight occurs when the eyeball is too long or the lens is too thick, or both. As a result, light rays from distant objects are focused in front of the retina (because the light rays are highly converged). The image formed on the retina is therefore out of focus.

Short sight can be corrected by wearing glasses with concave lenses. Light rays from distant objects are diverged by concave lenses before entering the eyes, so that light can be focused on the retina to form a sharp image.

A 1.15 kg book is at rest on the table. What is the magnitude of the normal force that the table is exerting on the book?

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

11.27N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the book = 1.15kg

Unknown:

Magnitude of the normal force = ?

Solution:

The normal force is the vertical force exerted by a body on an object.

It can be described as the weight of an object.

Normal force = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Normal force = 1.15 x 9.8 = 11.27N

Explain why it is important to keep all variables that might affect the dependent variable, other than the manipulated variable

Inga [223]

You have multiple confounding variables, you cannot accurately conclude the relationship between the manipulated and dependent variable because the other variables that are not controlled for could be the reason for seeing a certain change

In his motorboat, Bill Ruhberg travels upstream at top speed to his favorite fishing spot, a distance of 120120 mi, in 33 hr.

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The rate of the boat in still water is 44 mph and the rate of the current is 4 mph

Explanation:

x = the rate of the boat in still water

y = the rate of the current.

Distance travelled = 120 mi

Time taken upstream = 3 hr

Time taken downstream = 2.5 hr

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed upstream

$\frac{120}{3}=x-y\\\Rightarrow 40=x-y$

Speed downstream

$\frac{120}{2.5}=x+y\\\Rightarrow 48=x+y$

Adding both the equations

$48+40=x-y+x+y\\\Rightarrow 88=2x\\\Rightarrow 44=x$

$40=44-y\\\Rightarrow 40-44=-y\\\Rightarrow y=4$

The rate of the boat in still water is 44 mph and the rate of the current is 4 mph

a swimmer experiences a total (absolute) pressure of 117,500 pa in a pool. how far below the surface are they located?

marta [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that the pressure can be calculated in the following way:

p = d·g·h

with d being the density of the water, g the gravitational acceleration and h the depth.

Also d of the water = 1000 kg/m^3 circa and g = 9.8 m/s^2 circa

117,500 Pa = 1000kg/m³ · 9.8m/s² · h

Therefore h = 11,9 m

a grape and apple and a watermelon are arranged at the corners of a triangle so that each piece of fruit is three meters away fr

777dan777 [17]

-- There are three pairs of mass with gravitational forces between them.

-- The distances between the masses are the same for each pair.

-- The only other quantity that determines the strength of the gravitational
force is the product of the masses.

-- The product of the masses is greatest for the apple and the watermelon,
so the strength of the gravitational force between them is the greatest.
