What is the application of a spherometer in the medical field?​

Physics
1 answer:
Anton [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

To correct the defects of vision by measuring the radius of curvature and thus the power of the lenses.

Explanation:

A spherometer is an instrument used to measure the curvature of objects such as lenses and curved mirrors.

Generally it consists of a fine screw which is moving in a nut carried on the center of a 3 small legged table or frame. The feet forms the vertices of an equilateral triangle. The lower end of the screw and those of the table legs are finely tapered and terminate in hemispheres.

If the screw has two turns of the thread to the milli meter the head is generally divided into 50 equal parts, so that differences of 0.01 millimeter may be measured without using a vernier scale.

The spherometer is used to measure the radius of curvature of the lenses so that the opthalmologist find the focal length of the lens and then give the  power to the lens to correct the defects of vision.

Mila [183]

Answer:

5000 m equivalent to 5 Km

Explanation:

Average velocity =\frac{Displacement}{Time}

so, Displacement =Average velocity × time

We should convert Km/h to m/s so Km/h ⇒ \frac{1000}{60*60} m/s, also convert time to second so, 20min ⇒(20* 60)seconds

Displacement = (15 ×\frac{1000}{60*60}) × (20×60) =5000m OR 5Km

Suppose a thin conducting wire connects two conducting spheres. A negatively charged rod is brought near one of the spheres, the
dangina [55]

Answer:

a. The spheres will attract each other.

Explanation:

When two conducting spheres are connected by a conducting wire and a negatively charged rod is brought near it then this will induce opposite (positive) charge at the nearest point on the sphere and by the conservation of charges there will also be equal amount of negative charge on the farthest end of this conducting system this is called induced polarization.

  • When the conducting wire which joins them is cut while the charged rod is still in proximity to of one of the metallic sphere then there will be physical separation of the two equal and unlike charges on the spheres which will not get any path to flow back and neutralize.
  • Hence the two spheres will experience some amount of electrostatic force between them.

Si el coeficiente de fricción cinética entre los neumáticos y el pavimento seco es de 0.80. ¿Cuál es la distancia mínima para de
vovangra [49]

Answer: 52.9 metros.

Explanation:

Podemos escribir la fuerza de fricción cinética como

F = μ*N

donde N es la fuerza normal entre el coche y el suelo, cuya magnitud es igual al peso en esta situación.

F = μ*m*g

donde m es la masa del coche y g es 9.8m/s^2

y sabemos que μ = 0.8

Por la segunda ley de Newton, sabemos que:

F = m*a

fuerza es igual a masa por aceleración.

a = F/m

entonces la aceleración causada por la fuerza de rozamiento es:

F = 0.8*m*g

a = F/m = (0.8*m*g)/m = 0.8*g.

Entonces ya encontramos la aceleración, hay que recordar que esta aceleración es en sentido opuesto a la sentido de movimiento, entonces podemos escribir la aceleración como:

a(t) = -0.8*g

Para la velocidad, podemos integrar sobre el tiempo para obtener.

v(t) = -0.8*g*t + v0

donde v0 es la velocidad inicial del auto = 28.7m/s

v(t) = -0.8*g*t + 28.8m/s

Ahora podemos encontrar el tiempo necesario para que la velocidad del coche sea cero, en ese momento, como deja de moverse, ya no tendremos rozamiento cinético, entonces no habrá aceleración y el coche se detendrá completamente.

v(t) = 0m/s = -0.8*9.8m/s^2*t + 28.8m/s

7.84m/s^2*t = 28.8m/s

                 t   = (28.8m/s)/(7.84m/s^2) = 3.63 segundos.

Ahora vamos a la ecuación de movimiento, donde asumimos que la posición inicial del coche es 0m, así que no tendremos constante de integración.

p(t) = -(1/2)*(0.8*9.8m/s^2)*t^2 + 28.8m/s*t

Ahora podemos evaluar la posición en t = 3.63 segundos, y esto nos dara la distancia que el coche se movio mientras frenaba.

p(3.63s) = -(1/2)*(0.8*9.8m/s^2)*(3.63s)^2 + 28.8m/s*(3.63s) = 52.9 metros.

What, roughly, is the percent uncertainty in the volume of a spherical beach ball whose radius is 5.66 0.09 m?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

  • 4.77 %

Explanation:

We know that the volume V for a sphere of radius r is

V(r) = \frac{4}{3} \ \pi \ r^3

If we got an uncertainty \Delta r the formula for the uncertainty of V is:

\Delta V(r) = \sqrt{  (\frac{dV}{dr} \Delta r)^2  }

We can calculate this uncertainty, first we obtain the derivative:

\frac{dV}{dr}  = 3 * \frac{4}{3} \ \pi \ r^2

\frac{dV}{dr}  = 4 \ \pi \ r^2

And using it in the formula:

\Delta V(r) = \sqrt{  (4 \ \pi \ r^2\Delta r)^2  }

\Delta V(r) = \sqrt{  4^2 \ \pi^2 \ r^4 \Delta r^2  }

\Delta V(r) =  4 \  \pi \ r^2 \Delta r

The relative uncertainty is:

\frac{\Delta V(r)}{V(r)}

\frac{ 4 \  \pi \ r^2 \Delta r  }{ \frac{4}{3} \ \pi \ r^3}

\frac{ 3  \Delta r  }{  r}

Using the values for the problem:

\frac{ 3 * 0.09 m  }{  5.66 m} = 0.0477

This is, a percent uncertainty of 4.77 %
