A person with a near point of 85 cm, but excellent distant vision, normally wears corrective glasses. But he loses them while tr

aveling. Fortunately, he has his old pair as a spare.
(a) If the lenses of the old pair have a power of +2.25 diopters, what is his near point (measured from his eye) when he is wearing the old glasses if they rest 2.0 cm in front of his eye?
(b) What would his near point be if his old glasses were contact lenses instead?

Answer:

a)   p = 95.66 cm, b) p = 93.13 cm

Explanation:

For this problem we use the  constructor equation

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

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

the power of the lens is

         P = 1 / f

         f = 1 / P

         f = 1 / 2.25

         f = 0.4444 m

the distance to the object is

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

the distance to the image is

          q = 85 -2

           q = 83 cm

we must have all the magnitudes in the same units

           f = 0.4444 m = 44.44 cm

we calculate

           \frac{1}{p} = \frac{1}{44.44} - \frac{1}{83}

           1 / p = 0.010454

            p = 95.66 cm

b) if they were contact lenses

            q = 85 cm

            \frac{1}{p} = \frac{1}{44.44} - \frac{1}{85}

             1 / p = 0.107375

             p = 93.13 cm

A boat has a propulsion system that consists of a pump that sucks water at the bow and presses it on the stern. All tubes are 5
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The propulsion force at the moment of departure, is 49 N  

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of tubes = 5 cm = 0.05 m

volumetric flow rate, V = 50 L/s = 0.005 m³/s

density of water, ρ = 1000 Kg /m³

hydraulic / propulsion force, F = ρVg

where;

ρ is the density of the fluid (water)

V is the volumetric flow rate of water

g is acceleration due to gravity

propulsion force, F = ρVg

propulsion force, F = 1000 x 0.005 x 9.8

propulsion force, F = 49 N      

Therefore, the propulsion force at the moment of departure, is 49 N

Which sentence describes Newton's first law?
Marrrta [24]

\Large{\red{\bf{\blue{\dag} Answer:-}}}

Newton's First Law of Motion :

An object stays in rest or in uniform motion unless and until compelled by an external unbalanced force . This is also known as " Law of Inertia " .

Here this statement is best represented by the statement : <em>Unbalanced forces cause an object to move.</em><em> </em>[ option c ]

<u>More</u><u> to</u><u> know</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

Newton's 3 laws of motion :-

Newton's First Law of Motion :-

It states that an object stays in rest or in uniform motion unless and until compelled by an external unbalanced force . This is also known as " Law of Inertia " .

Ex - (i) We tend to fall backwards while standing in the bus , when it starts suddenly.

(ii) We tend to fall forward while standing in the bus , when it stops suddenly.

Newton's Second Law of Motion :-

It states that the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force in the direction of the force . That is ∆p \propto Force .

Ex - (i) When we push car & a truck with same force the car will have Greater acceleration due to less mass . (Imaginary case ).

(ii) We feel easy to push a empty cart than a full cart .

Newton's Third Law of Motion :-

It states that every action has equal and opposite reaction .

Ex - (i) We are able to walk on ground due to Newton's third law of motion .

(ii) When we push wall it also applies equal and opposite force .

A magnet falls through a loop of wire with the south pole entering first. After it has fallen all the way through the wire loop
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The induced current direction as viewed is clockwise

Explanation:

Lenz's Law states that the induced e. m. f. causes current to be driven in the loop of wire in such a way as to generate magnetic field that are oppose the magnetic flux change which is the source of the induced current

Therefore, as the magnet approaches the coil with the south pole,  the coil produces current equivalent to the upward movement of the south pole of a permanent magnet through it which according to Flemings Right Hand Rule is clockwise

Therefore;

The direction of the induced current in the loop (as viewed from above, looking down the magnet) is clockwise
