When the image of a distant object is brought into focus of front of a person's retina, the defect is called: nearsightedness.
I'm going to assume this is over a horizontal distance. You know from Newton's Laws that F=ma --> a = F/m. You also know from your equations of linear motion that v^2=v0^2+2ad. Combining these two equations gives you v^2=v0^2+2(F/m)d. We can plug in the given values to get v^2=0^2+2(20/3)0.25. Solving for v we get v=1.82 m/s!
Answer:
18.4 m
Explanation:
(a)
The known variables in this problem are:
u = 1.40 m/s is the initial vertical velocity (we take downward direction as positive direction)
t = 1.8 s is the duration of the fall
a = g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity
(b)
The vertical distance covered by the life preserver is given by

If we substitute all the values listed in part (a), we find

Answer:
2 seconds
Explanation:
if a ball travels 1/2 meter per second, and there's 2 halfs in a whole, 1/2 meter per second x 2 halfs in a whole meter is 2 seconds to travel a meter
