3.51 × 10^-7m

Explanation:

Refractive index = wavelength of the light in air ÷ wavelength in the medium

wavelength in the medium = wavelength of the light in air ÷ refractive index

= 5.4 * 10^-7 ÷ 1.54

= 3.51 × 10^-7m

What is the change in internal energy of the system (∆U) in a process in which 10 kJ of heat energy is absorbed by the system an
Trava [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to first law of thermodynamics:

∆U= q + w

= 10kj+(-70kJ)

-60kJ

, w = + 70 kJ

(work done on the system is positive)

q = -10kJ ( heat is given out, so negative)

∆U = -10 + (+70) = +60 kJ

Thus, the internal energy of the system decreases by 60 kJ.

A 5kg bag falls a verticle height of 10m before hitting the ground.
g100num [7]

Answer:

u = 7m {s}^{ - 1}

Explanation:

We know that when we don't have air friction on a free fall the mechanical energy (I will symbololize it with ME) is equal everywhere. So we have:

me(1) = me(2)

where me(1) is mechanical energy while on h=10m

and me(2) is mechanical energy while on the ground

Ek(1) + DynamicE(1) = Ek(2) + DynamicE(2)

Ek(1) is equal to zero since an object that has reached its max height has a speed equal to zero.

DynamicE(2) is equal to zero since it's touching the ground

Using that info we have

m \times g \times h   =   \frac{1}{2}  \times m \times u {}^{2} \\

we divide both sides of the equation with mass to make the math easier.

9.8 \times 10 =  \frac{1}{2}  \times u {}^{2}  \\  \frac{98}{2}  = u {}^{2}  \\ u { }^{2} = 49 \\ u = 7

A person is nearsighted with a far point of 75.0 cm. a. What focal length contact lens is needed to give him normal vision
BigorU [14]

Complete Question

The  complete question is  shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

a

  f=  -75 \ cm =  - 0.75 \ m

b

  P  =  -1.33 \ diopters

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  image distance is  d_i =  -75 cm

The value of the image is negative because it is on the same side with the corrective glasses

    The  object distance is  d_o =  \infty

The  reason object distance  is because the object father than it being picture by the eye

General focal length is mathematically represented as

              \frac{1}{f}  =  \frac{1}{d_i}  -   \frac{1}{d_o}

substituting values

             \frac{1}{f}  =  \frac{1}{-75}  -   \frac{1}{\infty}

=>         f=  -75 \ cm =  - 0.75 \ m

Generally the power of the corrective lens is  mathematically represented as

        P  =  \frac{1}{f}

substituting values

       P  =  \frac{1}{-0.75}

        P  =  -1.33 \ diopters
