Carol is farsighted ( presbyopia) and cannot see objects clearly that are closer to her eyes than about meter. She sees objects

clearly with a relaxed eye when they are distant. What is the refractive power of reading glasses that would allow her to read a book 50 cm away with a relaxed eye

Answer:

+1.00 diopter

Explanation:

The power of a lens can be described simply as the reciprocal of the focal length of the lens measured in meters.

But f is unknown, hence we look for the focal length with the formula

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

where u is former near point = 100cm

v is the new intended near point = 50cm

1/f = 1/50 - 1/100

1/f = 1/100

f = 100 cm

Hence we get Power (D) = 1/f

where f = focal length of the lens in meter

From the question, the focal length of the lens = 100cm = 1m

Hence D = 1/1

D = +1.00

Hence the refractive power of the reading glasses that would allow Carol to read a book 50cm away from the relaxed eye will be +1.00 diopters.

Answer:

1.0 dioptres

Explanation:

Farsightedness is an eye defect in which a person can see far objects clearly but not near objects. That implies that the patients' near point is farther than 25cm which is the normal least distance of distinct vision.

Farsightedness results from the eyeball being too long or the crystalline lens not being sufficiently converging.

Carol is farsighted with a near point of about a meter (100cm). We desire to make a lens to enable her near point be reduced to about 50cm. The focal length and power of this lens is calculated in the image attached.

The power of a lens is the inverse of its focal length in meters hence the 100 in the formula for power of the lens.

A cannon, located 60.0 m from the base of a vertical 25.0-m-tall cliff, shoots a 15-kg shell at 43.0o above the horizontal towar
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

a)   v₀ = 32.64 m / s , b)  x = 59.68 m

Explanation:

a) This is a projectile launching exercise, we the distance and height of the cliff

         x = v₀ₓ t

         y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

We look for the components of speed with trigonometry

         sin 43 = v_{oy} / v₀

         cos 43 = v₀ₓ / v₀

         v_{oy} = v₀ sin 43

         v₀ₓ = v₀ cos 43

Let's look for time in the first equation and substitute in the second

         t = x / v₀ cos 43

         y = v₀ sin 43 (x / v₀ cos 43) - ½ g (x / v₀ cos 43)²

          y = x tan 43 - ½ g x² / v₀² cos² 43

          1 / v₀² = (x tan 43 - y) 2 cos² 43 / g x²

           v₀² = g x² / [(x tan 43 –y) 2 cos² 43]

Let's calculate

          v₀² = 9.8 60 2 / [(60 tan 43 - 25) 2 cos 43]

          v₀ = √ (35280 / 33.11)

          v₀ = 32.64 m / s

.b) we use the vertical distance equation with the speed found

         y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

         .y = v₀ sin43 t - ½ g t²

        25 = 32.64 sin 43 t - ½ 9.8 t²

        4.9 t² - 22.26 t + 25 = 0

         t² - 4.54 t + 5.10 = 0

We solve the second degree equation

         t = (4.54 ±√(4.54 2 - 4 5.1)) / 2

         t = (4.54 ± 0.46) / 2

         t₁ = 2.50 s

         t₂ = 2.04 s

The shortest time is when the cliff passes and the longest when it reaches the floor, with this time we look for the horizontal distance traveled

         x = v₀ₓ t

         x = v₀ cos 43 t

         x = 32.64 cos 43  2.50

         x = 59.68 m

What is the meaning of technology
slamgirl [31]
The exact definition of technology is: The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry.

The way I would put it is that technology isn’t just electronics, smartphones, and flying cars. Technology is information that people reveal and figure out and this is why it advances. You hear all the time the “advances in technology” and it’s a term that has grown rapidly. It helps businesses to progress, it’s taught people, it’s in some ways beneficial to people’s lives. It has many meanings and really that is technology simply put.

The minimum frequency of light needed to eject electrons from a metal is called the threshold frequency, ???? 0 ν0 . Find the mi
Allisa [31]

Answer:

<h2>E = 2.8028*10⁻¹⁹ Joules</h2>

Explanation:

The minimum energy needed to eject electrons from a metal with a threshold frequency fo is expressed as E = hfo

h = planck's constant

fo = threshold frequency

Given the threshold frequency fo = 4.23×10¹⁴ s⁻¹

h = 6.626× 10⁻³⁴ m² kg / s

Substituting this value into the formula to get the energy E

E = 4.23×10¹⁴ *  6.626 × 10⁻³⁴

E = 28.028*10¹⁴⁻³⁴

E = 28.028*10⁻²⁰

E = 2.8028*10⁻¹⁹ Joules
