Answer:

Slope= $\frac{x2-x1}{t2-t1}$

Explanation:

We are supposed to find the slope in a position time graph,

For that we need atleast two points $(t1,x1),(t2,x2)$ .( $(x,y )$ represents there coordinates in respective axis directions.)

In the given case the y axis would be the position and the x axis as time .

Slope is defined as the ratio of change in y coordinate to change in x coordinate :- $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

So subsituting the coordinates of position and time we get slope as:-

$\frac{x2-x1}{t2-t1}$

[When we have more than two points which are not collinear then to calculate the slope we take the average.]

Where is the near point of an normal eye when accidentally wear a contact lens with a power of +2.0 diopters?

Lerok [7]

Answer:

The near point of an eye with power of +2 dopters, u' = - 50 cm

Given:

Power of a contact lens, P = +2.0 diopters

Solution:

To calculate the near point, we need to find the focal length of the lens which is given by:

Power, P = $\frac{1}{f}$

where

f = focal length

Thus

f = $\frac{1}{P}$

f = $\frac{1}{2}$ = + 0.5 m

The near point of the eye is the point distant such that the image formed at this point can be seen clearly by the eye.

Now, by using lens maker formula:

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{u'}$

where

u = object distance = 25 cm = 0.25 m = near point of a normal eye

u' = image distance

Now,

$\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}$

$\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{0.5} - \frac{1}{0.25}$

$\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}$

Solving the above eqn, we get:

u' = - 0.5 m = - 50 cm

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:D) His Facial expressions when they spend time together

Explanation:

Eva's should carefully observe the normal verbal signs by her lover because facial expression gives the hint to listener or viewer that one is interested towards other.

Some common facial Expression are

Smiling Eyes:While smiling is, of course, an important expression when we speak, attempting to keep a constant smile could make you look more like a trained sociopath than a happy, enthusiastic presenter. These enables other person to feel the good vibes out of you and left a positive impact of your presence.
Nod on: It is important to express interest in the feedback of your audience. No one likes an identity-centered snob. One way to show that you're actually engaged in the comments and questions they pose is by nodding while you're listening. Moving your head a little wider will help to express your attention as well.

A car slows down from 27.7 m/s to 10.9 m/s in 2.37 s. What is its acceleration?

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

- 7.088 m/s²

Explanation:

As we know that,

★ Acceleration = Change in velocity/Time

→ a = (v - u)/t

Here,

Initial velocity (u) = 27.7 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 10.9 m/s

→ a = (10.9 m/s - 27.7 m/s)/2.37 s

→ a = -16.8/2.37 m/s²

→ a = -7.088 m/s² [Answer]

Negative sign denotes that the velocity is decreasing.

What are northern lights? a lights on mars b lights on the sun c lights on venus

laiz [17]

The northern lights are shafts or curtains of colorful light that occasionally appear in the night sky. They are one of the numerous astronomical phenomena known as polar lights (aurora Polaris).This phenomenon may be observed in mars.

Earth's magnetic field directs electrons and protons from the sun to the poles, where they excite atmospheric gas molecules and cause them to glow, resulting in the aurora borealis and aurora australis, two nocturnal light displays. You might refer to it as the aurora Universalis on Mars. This is because Mars does not direct the energetic particles from the sun to its poles since it lacks an internal magnetic field. Today, researchers utilizing the MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution) spacecraft find evidence for an aurora that may potentially cover the whole nightside of the planet. Venus lacks a magnetic field, thus it would not experience the same kind of nighttime aurora that we do.
