What causes short sightedness ?how is it corrected

Physics
1 answer:
7nadin3 [17]3 years ago
5 0

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.

How does convection current helps cooling the system of engines
Ede4ka [16]
As the engine heats up, a natural circulation starts, as coolant rises through the engine block by convection. It passes through the top hose, and into the radiator. Inside the radiator, heat is removed from the coolant as it falls from the top to the bottom.
Hope this helps!

A 525 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 575 km above the Earth's surface. Because of air friction, the satel
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

1.69\cdot 10^{10}J

Explanation:

The total energy of the satellite when it is still in orbit is given by the formula

E=-G\frac{mM}{2r}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m = 525 kg is the mass of the satellite

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg is the Earth's mass

r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's center, so it is the sum of the Earth's radius and the altitude of the satellite:

r=R+h=6370 km +575 km=6945 km=6.95\cdot 10^6 m

So the initial total energy is

E_i=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(525 kg)(5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg)}{2(6.95\cdot 10^6 m)}=-1.51\cdot 10^{10}J

When the satellite hits the ground, it is now on Earth's surface, so

r=R=6370 km=6.37\cdot 10^6 m

so its gravitational potential energy is

U = -G\frac{mM}{r}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(525 kg)(5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg)}{6.37\cdot 10^6 m}=-3.29\cdot 10^{10} J

And since it hits the ground with speed

v=1.90 km/s = 1900 m/s

it also has kinetic energy:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(525 kg)(1900 m/s)^2=9.48\cdot 10^8 J

So the total energy when the satellite hits the ground is

E_f = U+K=-3.29\cdot 10^{10}J+9.48\cdot 10^8 J=-3.20\cdot 10^{10} J

So the energy transformed into internal energy due to air friction is the difference between the total initial energy and the total final energy of the satellite:

\Delta E=E_i-E_f=-1.51\cdot 10^{10} J-(-3.20\cdot 10^{10} J)=1.69\cdot 10^{10}J
