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

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.

Assume that the function x(t) represents the length of tape that has unwound as a function of time. find θ(t), the angle through
bekas [8.4K]
We know that arc length (x(t)) is given with the following formula:
x(t)=\theta(t) r
Where r is the radius of the barrel. We must keep in mind that as barrel rolls its radius decreases because less and less tape is left on it.
If we say that the thickness of the tape is D then with every full circle our radius shrinks by d. We can write this down mathematically:
r(\theta)=r_0-\frac{D\cdot \theta}{2\pi}
When we plug this back into the first equation we get:
x(t)=\theta(r_0-\frac{D\theta}{2\pi}})\\ \frac{D\theta^2}{2\pi}-\theta r_0+x(t)=0\\
We must solve this quadratic equation.
The final solution is:
\theta=\frac{\pi r_0+\sqrt{\pi \left(-2Dx(t)+\pi r_0^2\right)}}{D},\:\theta=\frac{\pi r_0-\sqrt{\pi \left(-2Dx(t)+\pi r_0^2\right)}}{D}
It is rather complicated solution. If we asume that the tape has no thickness we get simply:
x(t)=\theta(r_0-\frac{D\theta}{2\pi}});D=0\\
x(t)=\theta r_0\\
\theta(t)=\frac{x(t)}{r_0}

A pickup truck and a hatchback car start at the same position. If the truck is moving at a constant 33.2m/s and the hatchback ca
love history [14]

Answer:

The pickup truck and hatchback will meet again at 440.896 m

Explanation:

Let us assume that both vehicles are at origin at the start means initial position is zero i.e. s_{o} = 0. Both the vehicles will cross each other at same time so we will make equations for both and will solve for time.

Truck:

v_{i} = 33.2 m/s, a = 0 (since the velocity is constant), s_{o} = 0

Using s =s_{o}+v_{i}t+1/2at^{2}

s = 33.2t .......... eq (1)

Hatchback:

a=5m/s^{2}, v_{i} = 0 m/s (since initial velocity is zero), s_{o} = 0

Using s =s_{o}+v_{i}t+1/2at^{2}

putting in the data we will get

s=(1/2)(5)t^{2}

now putting 's' value from eq (1)

2.5t^{2}-33.2t=0

which will give,

t = 13.28 s

so both vehicles will meet up gain after 13.28 sec.

putting t = 13.28 in eq (1) will give

s = 440.896 m

So, both vehicles will meet up again at 440.896 m.

Will the body be travelling with a constant speed or a constant acceleration if the distance travelled by the body is directly p
Anna35 [415]
Distance ( say d ) is directly proportional to time ( say t ) .
mathematically ,
d = kt
where k is constant if proportionality .
Now differentiating the above equation with respect to time ,
we get ;
v = k
=> velocity is constant .
=> No acceleration .
