A 12 g plastic ball is dropped from a height of 2.5 m and is moving at 3.2 m/s just before it hits the floor. How much mechanica

Answer:

0.24

Explanation:

Mass of ball= 12g=0.012Kg

height of ball= 2.5m

velocity of ball before falling= 3.2m/s

potential energy of the ball=mgh= 0.012*10*2.5=0.3J

kinetic energy of the ball=0.5*mv^{2}=0.5*0.012*3.2*3.2=0.6J

Loss in mechanical energy during the fall= potential energy- Kinetic energy= 0.3-0.06=0.24J

note: During the fall, the potential energy of the ball is converted to kinetic energy. the loss in energy is due to air resistance.

A camera lens focuses on an object 75.0 cm from the lensThe image forms 3.50 cm behind the lens. What is the magnification of th
N76 [4]

Answer:

7/150

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Object distance (u) = 75cm

Image distance (v) = 3.5cm

Magnification (M) =..?

Magnification is simply defined as:

Magnification (M) = Image distance (v)/ object distance (u)

M = v /u

With the above formula, we can obtain the magnification of the image as follow:

M = v/u

M = 3.5/75

M = 7/150

Therefore, the magnification of the image is 7/150.

A physicist's right eye is presbyopic (i.e., farsighted). This eye can see clearly only beyond a distance of 97 cm, which makes
Ivan

Answer:

f = 19,877 cm   and  P = 5D

Explanation:

This is a lens focal length exercise, which must be solved with the optical constructor equation

        1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

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

In this case the object is placed p = 25 cm from the eye, to be able to see it clearly the image must be at q = 97 cm from the eye

let's calculate

        1 / f = 1/97 + 1/25

        1 / f = 0.05

        f = 19,877 cm

the power of a lens is defined by the inverse of the focal length in meters

         P = 1 / f

         P = 1 / 19,877 10-2

         P = 5D

Why is it important for body cell to have twice and many chromosomes as sex cells?
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Why sex cells only need half the number of chromosomes compared to other cells in the body?  As gametes are produced, the number of chromosomes must be reduced by half. Why? The zygote must contain genetic information from the mother and from the father, so the gametes must contain half of the chromosomes found in normal body cells.

Inside most ball-point pens is a small spring that compresses as the pen is pressed against the paper. If a force of 0.1 N compr
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

20 N/m

Explanation:

From the question,

The ball-point pen obays hook's law.

From hook's law,

F = ke............................ Equation 1

Where F = Force, k = spring constant, e = compression.

Make k the subject of the equation

k = F/e........................ Equation 2

Given: F = 0.1 N, e = 0.005 m.

Substitute these values into equation 2

k = 0.1/0.005

k = 20 N/m.

Hence the spring constant of the tiny spring is 20 N/m
