This is note the complete question, the complete question is:

One of the lousy things about getting old (prepare yourself!) is that you can be both near-sighted and farsighted at once. Some original defect in the lens of your eye may cause you to only be able to focus on some objects a limited distance away (near-sighted). At the same time, as you age, the lens of your eye becomes more rigid and less able to change its shape. This will stop you from being able to focus on objects that are too close to your eye (far-sighted). Correcting both of these problems at once can be done by using bi-focals, or by placing two lenses in the same set of frames. An old physicist instructor can only focus on objects that lie at distance between 0.47 meters and 5.4 meters.

Assume that the physics instructor would like to have normal visual acuity from 21 cm out to infinity and that his bifocals rest 2.0 cm from his eye. What is the refractive power of the portion of the lense that will correct the instructors nearsightedness?

Answer:  3.04 D

Explanation:

when an object is held 21 cm away from the instructor's eyes, the spectacle lens must produce 0.47m ( the near point) away.

An image of 0.47m from the eye will be ( 47 - 2 )

i.e 45 cm from the spectacle lens since the spectacle lens is 2cm away from the eye.

Also, the image distance will become negative

gap between lense and eye = 2cm

Therefore;

image distance d₁ = - 45cm = - 0.45m

object distance  d₀ = 21 - 2 = 19cm = 0.19m

P = 1/f = 1/ d = 1/d₀ + 1/d₁ = 1/0.19 + (-1/0.45)

P = 1/f =  5.26315789 - 2.22222222

P = 1/f = 3.04093567 ≈ 3.04 D

A group of students is measuring the change in momentum of an object. Which set of lab equipment would be most in measuring the
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The momentum of an object is defined as the mass of the object times the velocity of the object, as P = m*v.

So the equipment needed would be:

Something to measure the mass of the object, like a balance.

Something to measure the speed of the object, like a doppler radar, or a simpler thing may be a cronometer, with that you can measure the amount of time that the object needs to travel a given distance, and with that you can obtain the speed of the object.

Now you can notice that speed is different than velocity, this is true, velocity is a vector, so this has a direction, then you need something to fix the direction in which the object moves, in this way you can determine the velocity.
