The near point of an eye is 56.0 cm. A corrective lens is to be used to allow this eye to focus clearly on objects at the distan

irakobra [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Near point = 56 cm .

near point of healthy person = 25 cm

person suffers from long sightedness

convex lens will be required .

object distance u = 25 cm

image distance v = 56 cm

both will be negative as both are in front of the lens.

lens formula

I/v - 1 / u = 1/f

- 1/56 +1/25 = 1/f

- .01785 + .04 = 1/f

1/f = .02215

f = 45.15 cm .

Vector a has a magnitude of 12.3 units and points due west. vector b points due north. what is the magnitude of b if a - b has a

algol [13]

The magnitude of vector b is 8.58 Unit.

Since both the vectors a and b are perpendicular to each other, so we can apply the Pythagoras theorem to calculate the magnitude of the vector b.

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

(a-b)^2=a^2+b^2

15^2=12.3^2-b^2

b=8.58 unit

Therefor the magnitude of the vector b is 8.58 unit.

A rock is dropped from a garage roof from rest. the roof is 6.0 m from the ground. determine the velocity of the rock as it hits

Dmitrij [34]

From rest, a rock is dropped from a garage roof. The roof is 6.0 meters above ground level. The rock will reach the earth at a speed of 10.849 meters per second.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

The change of displacement with respect to time is defined as the velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity.

it is a time-based component. Velocity at any angle is resolved to get its component of x and y-direction.

Given data:

V(Final velocity)=? (m/sec)

h(height)= 6.0 m

u(Initial velocity)=0 m/sec

g(gravitational acceleration)=9.81 m/s²

Newton's third equation of motion:

$\rm v_y^2 = u_y^2+ 2gh \\\\\rm v_y^2 = 0+ 2gh\\\\\ v_y= \sqrt{2\times 9.81 \ (m/s^2)\times 6.0 (m)} \\\\ v_y=10.849 \ m/sec$

Hence, the velocity of the rock as it hits the ground will be 10.849 m/sec.

In a hydroelectric power plant, water flows from an elevation of 400 ft to a turbine, where electric power is generated. For an

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

$V=3.475ft^3/s=3.48ft^3/s$

Explanation:

We have here values from SI and English Units. I will convert the units to English Units.

We hace for the power P,

$P= 100kW \rightarrow 100kW*(\frac{737.56ft.lbf/s}{1kW})$

$P= 73.7*10^{3}ft.lbf/s$

we have other values such $h=400ft$ and $\gamma= 62.42lb/ft^3$ (specific weight of the water), and 0.85 for \eta

We need to figure the flow rate of the water (V) out, that is,

$V=\frac{P}{\gamma h \eta_0}$

Where $\eta_0$ is the turbine efficiency, at which is,

$\eta_0 = \frac{P}{\gamma Vh}$

Replacing,

$V=\frac{73.7*10^{3}}{62.42*400*0.85}$

$V=3.475ft^3/s$

With this value (the target of this question) we can also calculate the mass flow rate of the waters,

through the density and the flow rate,

$m=\rho V\\m= 3.475*1.94 \\m=6.7415 slugs/s$

converting the slugs to lbm, 1slug = 32.174lbm, we have that the mass flow rate of the water is,

$m= 217lbm/s$
