The eyes of amphibians such as frogs have a much flatter cornea but a more strongly curved (almost spherical) lens than do the e

yes of air-dwelling mammals. In mammalian eyes, the shape (and therefore the focal length) of the lens changes to enable the eye to focus at different distances. In amphibian eyes, the shape of the lens doesn't change. Amphibians focus on objects at different distances by using specialized muscles to move the lens closer to or farther from the retina, like the focusing mechanism of a camera. In air, most frogs are nearsighted; correcting the distance vision of a typical frog in air would require contact lenses with a power of about −6.0D .A frog can see an insect clearly at a distance of 10cm . At that point the effective distance from the lens to the retina is 8mm .If the insect moves 5cm farther from the frog, by how much and in which direction does the lens of the frog's eye have to move to keep the insect in focus?0.02cm, toward the retina.0.02cm, away from the retina.0.06cm, toward the retina.0.06cm, away from the retina.

Answer:

0.2cm towards the retina.

Explanation:

the focal length of the frog eye is

(1/f) = (1/10) + (1/0.8)

f = 0.74cm

Since the distance of the object is 15cm Hence

(1/0.74) = (1/15) + (1/V)

V = 0.78cm

Therefore the distance the retina is to move is

0.78cm - 0.8cm = 0.02cm towards the retina.

The relative density of oak wood is 0.64 .find the density in the cgs system
Zepler [3.9K]
Relative density is defined as:
 dr = ds / dw
 where:
 dr: relative density
 ds: density of the substance.
 dw: density of water.
 In this case we have the relative density of oak wood:
 dr = 0.64.
 We want to find the density of the substance: ds
 Therefore we need to know the density of water in the cgs unit system:
 dw = 1g / c ^ 3
 Finally:
 ds = dr * dw
 ds = 0.64 * 1 g / cm ^ 3
 ds = 0.64 g / c ^ 3
 The density of the oak wood in cgs is 0.64 g / cm ^ 3

Sierra did 500 J of work to move her couch. If she exerts 250 N of force on the couch, how far did she move it?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

2 m

Explanation:

Work = force × distance

500 J = 250 N × d

d = 2 m

She moved the couch 2 meters.

Students in an introductory physics lab are performing an experiment with a parallel-plate capacitor made of two circular alumin
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

\rm 9.186\times 10^{-7}\ C.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Diameter of the plates of the capacitor, D = 21 cm = 0.21 m.
  • Distance of separation between the plates, d = 1.0 cm = 0.01 m.
  • Minimum value of electric field that produces spark, \rm E=3\times 10^6\ N/C.

When the dimensions of the plate of the capacitor is comparatively much larger than the distance of separation between the plates, then, according to the Gauss' law of electrostatics, the value of the electric field strength in the region between the plates of the capacitor is given by

\rm E=\dfrac{\sigma}{\epsilon_o}.

where,

  • \rm \sigma = surface charge density of the plate of the capacitor = \dfrac qA.
  • \rm q = magnitude of the charge on each of the plate.
  • \rm A = surface area of each of the plate =\rm \pi \times (Radius)^2=\pi \times\left ( \dfrac{D}{2}\right )^2= \pi \times \left ( \dfrac{0.21}{2}\right )^2=3.46\times 10^{-2}\ m^2.
  • \epsilon_o = electrical permittivity of free space, having value = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\rm \ C^2N^{-1}m^{-2}.

For the minimum value of electric field that produces spark,

\rm E = \dfrac{q}{A\epsilon_o}\\\Rightarrow q = E\ A\epsilon_o\\=3\times 10^6\times 3.46\times 10^{-2}\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\\=9.186\times 10^{-7}\ C.

It is the maximum value of the magnitude of charge which can be added up to each of the plates of the capacitor.

1. Who first published the classification of the elements that is the basis of our periodic table today?
Gre4nikov [31]
That particular group of elements is reffered to as the "Noble Gasses"--a title that comes from the fact that these gases are very "secure" and don't mix well with other elements.

A 1500 kg car traveling due east at 20<br> m/s slows to a stop in 5.0 seconds. What is the impulse?
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Hans-Georg Gadamer (1900-2002) was an influential German philosopher of the twentieth century, inspiring a variety of scholastic disciplines from aesthetics to theology. In suggesting understanding was interpretation and vice versa, Gadamer identifies language acting as the medium for understanding. Gadamer’s philosophy of hermeneutics has major implications for education and formal schooling because Hermeneutics help to know the knowledge a student has prior to the lesson. This helps in the dialogue about a subject matter and therefore, the philosophy of Hermeneutics when applied in classroom helps the teachers pass information easily and effectively, hence, the learners capture the whole content of a topic.
