Answer:

102.52 W

Explanation:

Power: This ca be defined as the rate at which energy is used up.

The S.I unit of power is Watt(W).

From the question,

P = E/t.............. Equation 1

Where P = average power of the snake head, E = energy of the snake, t = time.

But,

E = 1/2mv²............ Equation 2

Where m = mass of the head, v = velocity of the snake head.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

P = 1/2mv²/t ............ Equation 3

Given: m = 170 g = 0.17 kg, v = 28 m/s, t = 0.65 s.

Substitute into equation 3

P = 1/2(0.17)(28²)/0.65

P = 102.52 W.

Hence the average power of the snake = 102.52 W

The normal eye, myopic eye and old age
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

1)    f’₀ / f = 1.10, the relationship between the focal length (f'₀) and the distance to the retina (image) is given by the constructor's equation

2) the two diameters have the same order of magnitude and are very close to each other

Explanation:

You have some problems in the writing of your exercise, we will try to answer.

1) The equation to be used in geometric optics is the constructor equation

          \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

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

* For the normal eye and with presbyopia

the object is at infinity (p = inf) and the image is on the retina (q = 15 mm = 1.5 cm)

        \frac{1}{f'_o} = 1/ inf + \frac{1}{1.5}

        f'₀ = 1.5 cm

this is the focal length for this type of eye

* Eye with myopia

the distance to the object is p = 15 cm the distance to the image that is on the retina is q = 1.5 cm

           1 / f = 1/15 + 1 / 1.5

           1 / f = 0.733

            f = 1.36 cm

this is the focal length for the myopic eye.

In general, the two focal lengths are related

         f’₀ / f = 1.5 / 1.36

         f’₀ / f = 1.10

The question of the relationship between the focal length (f'₀) and the distance to the retina (image) is given by the constructor's equation

2) For this second part we have a diffraction problem, the point diameter corresponds to the first zero of the diffraction pattern that is given by the expression for a linear slit

          a sin θ= m λ

the first zero occurs for m = 1, as the angles are very small

          tan θ = y / f = sin θ / cos θ

for some very small the cosine is 1

          sin θ = y / f

where f is the distance of the lens (eye)

           y / f = lam / a

in the case of the eye we have a circular slit, therefore the system must be solved in polar coordinates, giving a numerical factor

           y / f = 1.22 λ / D

           y = 1.22 λ f / D

where D is the diameter of the eye

          D = 2R₀

          D = 2 0.1

          D = 0.2 cm

           

the eye has its highest sensitivity for lam = 550 10⁻⁹ m (green light), let's use this wavelength for the calculation

         

* normal eye

the focal length of the normal eye can be accommodated to give a focus on the immobile retian, so let's use the constructor equation

      \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

sustitute

       \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{25} + \frac{1}{1.5}

       \frac{1}{f}= 0.7066

        f = 1.415 cm

therefore the diffraction is

        y = 1.22  550 10⁻⁹  1.415  / 0.2

        y = 4.75 10⁻⁶ m

this is the radius, the diffraction diameter is

       d = 2y

       d_normal = 9.49 10⁻⁶ m

* myopic eye

In the statement they indicate that the distance to the object is p = 15 cm, the retina is at the same distance, it does not move, q = 1.5 cm

       \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{ 1.5}

        \frac{1}{f}= 0.733

         f = 1.36 cm

diffraction is

        y = 1.22 550 10-9 1.36 10-2 / 0.2 10--2

        y = 4.56 10-6 m

the diffraction diameter is

        d_myope = 2y

         d_myope = 9.16 10-6 m

         \frac{d_{normal}}{d_{myope}} = 9.49 /9.16

        \frac{d_{normal}}{d_{myope}} =  1.04

we can see that the two diameters have the same order of magnitude and are very close to each other

The plane of a rectangular coil, 7.2 cm by 3.7 cm, is perpendicular to the direction of a uniform magnetic field B. If the coil
netineya [11]

Answer:

The rate of change of magnetic field is 2.23 T/s.              

Explanation:

Given that,

Dimension of rectangular coil is 7.2 cm by 3.7 cm.

Number of turns in the coil, N = 104

Resistance of the coil, R = 12.4 ohms

Current, I = 0.05 A

We need to find the rate of change of magnetic field in the coil. The induced emf is given by the rate of change of magnetic flux. So,

\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}

Ohm's law is :

\epsilon=IR

So,

IR=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}\\\\IR=-\dfrac{d(NBA)}{dt}\\\\IR=-NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}\\\\\dfrac{dB}{dt}=\dfrac{IR}{NA}\\\\\dfrac{dB}{dt}=\dfrac{0.05\times 12.4}{104\times 7.2\times 10^{-2}\times 3.7\times 10^{-2}}\\\\\dfrac{dB}{dt}=2.23\ T/s

So, the rate of change of magnetic field is 2.23 T/s.

Mass×acceleration of a triangle =force​
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The force acting on a body is always equal to the product of the mass of the body and its acceleration.

Explanation:

The force of a body is defined as the product of mass and acceleration of the body.

According to Newton's second law, wherever there is a change in momentum of the body for an interval of time, there is a force acting on it.

                         F = (mv - mu) / t

                             = m (v -u) /t

                              = m a

Where,

                                 (v - u)/t - is the change in velocity of the body in the interval of time. It is equal to the acceleration of the body.

Hence, the equation for the force for any body becomes, F = m x a
