Winds are immigrants. They're named for where they have already been and are coming from, not for where they're going.

A Westerly wind is coming from the West. Anything caught in it is being blown toward the east.

Sometimes a person cannot clearly see objects close up or far away. To correct this type of vision, bifocals are often used. The
Rudik [331]

Answer:

1)   P₁ = -2 D,   2) P₂ = 6 D

Explanation:

for this exercise in geometric optics let's use the equation of the constructor

          \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

where f is the focal length, p and q are the distance to the object and the image, respectively

1) to see a distant object it must be at infinity (p = ∞)

          \frac{1}{f_1} = \frac{1}{q}

           q = f₁

2) for an object located at p = 25 cm

            \frac{1}{f_2} = \frac{1}{25} + \frac{1}{q}

We can that in the two expressions we have the distance to the image, this is the distance where it can be seen clearly in general for a normal person is q = 50 cm

we substitute in the equations

1) f₁ = -50 cm

2)  

        \frac{1}{f_2} = \frac{1}{25} + \frac{1}{50}

        \frac{1}{f_2} = 0.06

         f₂ = 16.67 cm

the expression for the power of the lenses is

          P = \frac{1}{f}

where the focal length is in meters

           

1)       P₁ = 1/0.50

        P₁ = -2 D

2)     P₂ = 1 /0.16667

        P₂ = 6 D

(URGENT) A ball rolls off a ledge. Its velocity is 7.70m/s in a horizontal direction. It falls on the floor 1.60m below the ledg
elena-s [515]

Answer:

the horizontal distance is 4.355 meters

Explanation:

The computation of the horizontal distance while travelling in the air is shown below:

Data provided in the question is as follows

Velocity = u = 7.70 m/s

H = 1.60 m

R = horizontal direction

Based on the above information

As we know that

R = u × time

where,

Time = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g} }

So,

= 7.70\times \sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.60}{10} }

= 4.355 meters

hence, the horizontal distance is 4.355 meters

What is the radius of a communications satellite’s orbital path that is in a uniform circular orbit around Earth and has a perio
pantera1 [17]
If the period of a satellite is T=24 h = 86400 s that means it is in geostationary orbit around Earth. That means that the force of gravity Fg and the centripetal force Fcp are equal:

Fg=Fcp

m*g=m*(v²/R),
 
where m is mass, v is the velocity of the satelite and R is the height of the satellite and g=G*(M/r²), where G=6.67*10^-11 m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻², M is the mass of the Earth and r is the distance from the satellite. 

Masses cancel out and we have:

G*(M/r²)=v²/R, R=r so:

G*(M/r)=v²

r=G*(M/v²), since v=ωr it means v²=ω²r² and we plug it in,

r=G*(M/ω²r²),

r³=G*(M/ω²), ω=2π/T, it means ω²=4π²/T² and we plug that in:

r³=G*(M/(4π²/T²)), and finally we take the third root to get r:

r=∛{(G*M*T²)/(4π²)}=4.226*10^7 m= 42 260 km which is the height of a geostationary satellite.
