Great question!

Thunder and lightning happen at the same time, but because light travels faster than sound, we see lightning before we hear thunder.

Because the light from it travels to you about 874 thousand times
as fast as the sound does, so the hearing part falls behind the seeing
part.

A typical human lens has an index of refraction of 1.430 . The lens has a double convex shape, but its curvature can be varied b
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Maximum Power = 144.3 D

The associated focal length of the lens = 6.92*10^{-3} m

Explanation:

According to the Lens maker's Formula:

\frac{1}{f} = (n-1) (\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}  )

where;

n_1 = the refractive index of the medium

R_1 and R_2 = radius of curvature on each surface

For a convex lens, The radius of curvature in the front surface will be positive and that of the second surface will be negative . Therefore;

\frac{1}{f} = (n-1) (\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{-R_2}  ) \\ \\ \frac{1}{f} = (n-1) (\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}  )

At maximum power

\frac{1}{f} = (1.430-1) (\frac{1}{6.50 \ mm}-\frac{1}{5.50 \ mm}  )

= 0.144 \ mm^{-1}

This Implies

f = 6.92 mm\\f = 6.92*10^{-3} \ m

Therefore; the power is given by the formula:

P_{max} = \frac{1}{f}

P_{max}= \frac{1}{6.92*10^{-3}}

= 144.3 D

Your laundry basket Please 22 is in your room is 3.0 M above you on the second floor it takes you 6.0 seconds to carry the laund
Rainbow [258]

Power = (work done) / (time to do the work)

Work done = (force to lift the object) x (distance lifted)

In this question, the force is the (weight of the basket)+(your weight).

Work done = (weight of basket+you) x (3 meters)

Time to do the work = 6 seconds.

Power = (weights x 3 meters) / (6 seconds)

<em>Power = (1/2)·(weight of the basket+you, in Newtons) watts</em>
