A man weighs himself twice in an elevator. When the elevator is at rest, he weighs 824 N; when the elevator starts moving upward
kifflom [539]

Answer: c. 1.3 m/s^2

Explanation:

When he is at rest, is weight can be calculated as:

W = g*m

where:

m = mass of the man

g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

We know that at rest his weight is W = 824N, then we have:

824N = m*9.8m/s^2

824N/(9.8m/s^2) = m = 84.1 kg

Now, when the elevators moves up with an acceleration a, the acceleration that the man inside fells down is g + a.

Then the new weight is calculated as:

W = m*(g + a)

and we know that in this case:

W = 932N

g = 9.8m/s^2

m = 84.1 kg

Then we can find the value of a if we solve:

932N = 84.1kg*(9.8m/s^2 + a)

932N/84.1kg = 11.1 m/s^2 = 9.8m/s^2 + a

11.1 m/s^2 - 9.8m/s^2 = a = 1.3 m/s^2

The correct option is C

The normal eye, myopic eye and old age
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

1)    f’₀ / f = 1.10, the relationship between the focal length (f'₀) and the distance to the retina (image) is given by the constructor's equation

2) the two diameters have the same order of magnitude and are very close to each other

Explanation:

You have some problems in the writing of your exercise, we will try to answer.

1) The equation to be used in geometric optics is the constructor equation

          \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

where p and q are the distance to the object and the image, respectively, f is the focal length

* For the normal eye and with presbyopia

the object is at infinity (p = inf) and the image is on the retina (q = 15 mm = 1.5 cm)

        \frac{1}{f'_o} = 1/ inf + \frac{1}{1.5}

        f'₀ = 1.5 cm

this is the focal length for this type of eye

* Eye with myopia

the distance to the object is p = 15 cm the distance to the image that is on the retina is q = 1.5 cm

           1 / f = 1/15 + 1 / 1.5

           1 / f = 0.733

            f = 1.36 cm

this is the focal length for the myopic eye.

In general, the two focal lengths are related

         f’₀ / f = 1.5 / 1.36

         f’₀ / f = 1.10

The question of the relationship between the focal length (f'₀) and the distance to the retina (image) is given by the constructor's equation

2) For this second part we have a diffraction problem, the point diameter corresponds to the first zero of the diffraction pattern that is given by the expression for a linear slit

          a sin θ= m λ

the first zero occurs for m = 1, as the angles are very small

          tan θ = y / f = sin θ / cos θ

for some very small the cosine is 1

          sin θ = y / f

where f is the distance of the lens (eye)

           y / f = lam / a

in the case of the eye we have a circular slit, therefore the system must be solved in polar coordinates, giving a numerical factor

           y / f = 1.22 λ / D

           y = 1.22 λ f / D

where D is the diameter of the eye

          D = 2R₀

          D = 2 0.1

          D = 0.2 cm

           

the eye has its highest sensitivity for lam = 550 10⁻⁹ m (green light), let's use this wavelength for the calculation

         

* normal eye

the focal length of the normal eye can be accommodated to give a focus on the immobile retian, so let's use the constructor equation

      \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

sustitute

       \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{25} + \frac{1}{1.5}

       \frac{1}{f}= 0.7066

        f = 1.415 cm

therefore the diffraction is

        y = 1.22  550 10⁻⁹  1.415  / 0.2

        y = 4.75 10⁻⁶ m

this is the radius, the diffraction diameter is

       d = 2y

       d_normal = 9.49 10⁻⁶ m

* myopic eye

In the statement they indicate that the distance to the object is p = 15 cm, the retina is at the same distance, it does not move, q = 1.5 cm

       \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{ 1.5}

        \frac{1}{f}= 0.733

         f = 1.36 cm

diffraction is

        y = 1.22 550 10-9 1.36 10-2 / 0.2 10--2

        y = 4.56 10-6 m

the diffraction diameter is

        d_myope = 2y

         d_myope = 9.16 10-6 m

         \frac{d_{normal}}{d_{myope}} = 9.49 /9.16

        \frac{d_{normal}}{d_{myope}} =  1.04

we can see that the two diameters have the same order of magnitude and are very close to each other

A person is riding a bicycle, and its wheels have an angular velocity of 10.7 rad/s. Then, the brakes are applied and the bike i
Scilla [17]

Answer:

(a) t = 22.9 s

(b) α= - 0.467 rad/s²

Explanation:

The uniformly accelerated circular movement, is a circular path movement in which the angular acceleration is constant.

We apply the equations of circular motion uniformly accelerated :

ωf ²=  ω₀² + 2*α*θ  Formula (1)

ωf= ω₀ + α*t Formula (2)

Where:

θ : angle that the body has rotated in a given time interval (rad)

α : angular acceleration (rad/s²)

t : time interval (s)

ω₀ : initial angular speed ( rad/s)

ωf : final angular speed ( rad/s)

Data

θ =  19.5 revolutions  : angular displacement of each wheel or angle that the  wheel has rotated in a given time interval

ω₀= 10.7 rad/s :  initial angular speed of the Wheel ( rad/s)

ωf = 0 : final angular speed  of the Whee( rad/s)

Calculating of the angular acceleration (α )

We replace data in the fómula (1),considering that 1 revolution is equal to 2π radians :

ωf ²=  ω₀² + 2*α*θ

(0 )²=  (10.7)² + 2*α*(19.5*2*π )

0= 114.49 + (245.04)*α

-114.49 =  (245.04)*α

α= (-114.49) /(245.04)

α= -114.49 /(245.04)

α= -0.467 rad/s²

Time does it take for the bike to come to rest

We replace data in the formula (2)

ωf = ω₀ + α*t

0 =  10.7 + -0.467*t

-10.7  = - 0.467*t    we multiply by (-1) both sides of the equation :

10.7  = 0.467*t  

t = 10.7 / 0.467

t = 22.9 s
