Answer:

Part a)

W = 1.58 \times 10^{-20} J

Part b)

v = 1.86 \times 10^5 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

Electric field due to large sheet is given as

E = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}

\sigma = 4.00 \times 10^{-12} C/m^2

now the electric field is given as

E = \frac{4.00 \times 10^{-12}}{2(8.85 \times 10^{-12})}

E = 0.225 N/C

Now acceleration of an electron due to this electric field is given as

a = \frac{eE}{m}

a = \frac{(1.6 \times 10^{-19})(0.225)}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}}

a = 3.97 \times 10^{10}

Now work done on the electron due to this electric field

W = F.d

d = 0.470 - 0.03

d = 0.44 m

So work done is given as

W = (ma)(0.44)

W = (9.11 \times 10^{-31})(3.97 \times 10^{10})(0.44)

W = 1.58 \times 10^{-20} J

Part b)

Now we know that work done by all forces = change in kinetic energy of the electron

so we will have

W = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0

1.58 \times 10^{-20} = \frac{1}{2}(9.1\times 10^{-31})v^2

v = 1.86 \times 10^5 m/s

Answer:

The break even cost is $0.0063825

Explanation:

Break-even cost is the amount of money, or change in value, which equates to the amount at which an asset must be sold to equal the cost of acquiring it. For easier understanding it can be thought the amount of money for which a product or service must be sold to cover the costs of manufacturing or providing it.

Wattage = W

Cost per kilo watt hour = C

Number of hours per year = H

Price per bulb/CFL = P

Discount rate = 11%

Life of bulb = 2 years

Price of bulb = $0.39

Wattage consumption of bulb per hours = 60

Life of CFL = 24 years

Price of CFL = $3.10

Wattage consumption of CFL per hour = 15

Calculate the Equated Annual Cost (EAC) of bulb

EAC = {- P - (W/1000 x H x C) x (PVIFA 11%, 2years)}/ (PVIFA 11%, 2years)

PVIFA 11%, 2years = Annuity PV Factor = [1 – {(1 + r)^(-n)}]/r, where r is the rate per period and n is the number per periods

PVIFA 11%, 2 years = [1 – {(1 + 0.11)^(-2)}]/0.11 = 1.712523 (for 2 years)

PVIFA 11%, 24 years = [1 – {(1 + 0.11)^(-24)}]/0.11 = 8.348136 (for 2 years)

<u>Calculate the EAC of bulb</u>

EAC = {- P - (W/1000 x H x C) x (PVIFA 11%, 2 years)}/ (PVIFA 11%, 2 years)

EAC = {- 0.39 - (60/1000 x H x C) x (1.712523)}/ (1.712523)

EAC = {-0.39 – (51.37570 x C)}/ 1.712523, <em>consider this equation 1</em>

<u>Calculate the EAC of CFL</u>

EAC = {- P - (W/1000 x H x C) x (PVIFA 11%, 24 years)}/ (PVIFA 11%, 24 years)

EAC = {- 3.10 - (15/1000 x 500 x C) x (8.348136)}/ (8.348136)

EAC = {-3.10 – (62.61102 x C)}/8.348137, <em>consider this equation 2</em>

<u>Equate 1 and 2 to find the amount of C</u>

{-0.39 – (51.37570 x C)}/ 1.712523 = {-3.10 – (62.61102 x C)}/8.348137

{-0.39 – (51.37570 x C) x 8.348137} = {-3.10 – (62.61102 x C) x 1.712523}

C = $0.0063825

Thus, the break- even cost per kilo – watt is $0.0063825

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
