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.

By what factor would your weight increase if you could stand on the sun? (never mind that you can't.)

Fofino [41]

Gravity on the surface of sun is given as

$g = \frac{GM}{R^2}$

here we know that

$M = 1.98 \times 10^{30} kg$

$R = 6.95 \times 10^8 m$

now we will have

$g = \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(1.98 \times 10^30)}{(6.95 \times 10^8)^2}$

$g = 273.4 m/s^2$

now we need to find the ratio of weight on surface of sun and on surface of Earth

$R = \frac{mg_{sun}}{mg_{earth}}$

$R = \frac{273.4}{9.8} = 28 times$

so weight will increase by 28 times

A factory has 1200 workers of which 720 are male and the rast are female what percent of workers are female

umka21 [38]

Answer:

Percent of Female Workers = 40%

Explanation:

The percentage of the female workers in the given group of workers can be easily found by the following formula:

$Percent\ of\ Female\ Workers = \frac{No.\ of\ Female\ Workers}{Total\ No.\ of\ Workers}\ x\ 100\%$

where,

Total No. of Workers = 1200

No. of Female Workers = Total Workers - No. of Male Workers

No. of Female Workers = 1200 - 720 = 480

Therefore,

$Percent\ of\ Female\ Workers = \frac{480}{1200}\ x\ 100\%$

<u>Percent of Female Workers = 40%</u>
