Bill is farsighted and has a near point located 125 cm from his eyes. Anne is also farsighted, but her near point is 75.0 cm fro

m her eyes. Both have glasses that correct their vision to a normal near point (25.0 cm from the eyes), and both wear the glasses 2.0 cm from the eyes. Relative to the eyes, what is the closest object that can be seen clearly (a) by Anne when she wears Bill's glasses and (b) by Bill when he wears Anne's glasses

Answer:

a) The closest object Anne can see, while wearing Bill's glasses is at approximately 22.39 cm relative to her eyes

b) The closest object Bill can see while wearing Anne's glasses is at approximately 26.38 cm relative to his eyes

Explanation:

The point where Bill has a near point = 125 cm

The point where Anne has a near point = 75.0 cm

Their vision are both corrected to the normal near point = 25.0 cm

The distance of their glasses from the eye, d = 2.0 cm

The lens formula is presented as follows;

$\dfrac{1}{f} =\dfrac{1}{d_0} +\dfrac{1}{d_i}$

The required distance of the of the object from Bill's glass, $d_{oB}$ = 25 cm - 2.0 cm = 23.0 cm

The distance of the of the image from Bill's glass, $d_{iB}$ = -(125 cm - 2.0 cm) = -123 cm

Therefore, for Bill, we have;

$\dfrac{1}{f_B} =\dfrac{1}{d_{0B}} +\dfrac{1}{d_{iB}}$

Plugging in the values gives;

$\dfrac{1}{f_B} =\dfrac{1}{23} -\dfrac{1}{123} = \dfrac{100}{2,829}$

Therefore;

$f_B$ = 2,829/100 cm = 28.29 cm

The required distance of the of the object from Anne's glass, $d_{oA}$ = 25 cm - 2.0 cm = 23.0 cm

The distance of the of the image from Anne's glass, $d_{iA}$ = -(75 cm - 2 cm) = -73 cm

The focal length for Anne is therefore;

$\dfrac{1}{f_A} =\dfrac{1}{d_{0A}} +\dfrac{1}{d_{iA}}$

Plugging in the values gives;

$\dfrac{1}{f_A} =\dfrac{1}{23} -\dfrac{1}{73} = \dfrac{50}{1,679}$

Therefore, we have;

$f_A$ = 1,679/50 cm = 33.58 cm

a) When Anne wears Bill's lasses, we have;

$\dfrac{1}{f_B} =\dfrac{1}{d_{0A}} +\dfrac{1}{d_{iA}}$

Therefore, we get;

$\dfrac{1}{28.29} =\dfrac{1}{d_{0A}} -\dfrac{1}{73}$

$\dfrac{1}{d_{0A}} = \dfrac{1}{28.29} + \dfrac{1}{73} = \dfrac{10,129}{206,517}$

$d_{0A}$ ≈ 20.39 cm

The distance of the closest object Anne can see, from her eye, $d_{oe}$ = $d_{0A}$ + d

∴ $d_{oe}$ ≈ 20.39 cm + 2.0 cm = 22.39 cm

The distance of the closest object Anne can see, from her eye, $d_{oe}$ ≈ 22.39 cm

b) The closest object that can be seen when Bill wears Anne's glasses, we have;

$\dfrac{1}{f_A} =\dfrac{1}{d_{0B}} +\dfrac{1}{d_{iB}}$

Therefore;

$\dfrac{1}{33.58} =\dfrac{1}{d_{0B}} -\dfrac{1}{123}$

$\dfrac{1}{d_{0B}} = \dfrac{1}{33.58} +\dfrac{1}{123} = \dfrac{7,829}{206,517}$

∴ $d_{oB}$ ≈ 26.38 cm

The closest object Bill can see while wearing Anne's glasses, $d_{oB}$ ≈ 26.38 cm.

Given vectors D (3.00 m, 315 degrees wrt x-axis) and E (4.50 m, 53.0 degrees wrt x-axis), find the resultant R= D + E. (a) Write

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

R = ( 4.831 m , 1.469 m )

Magnitude of R = 5.049 m

Direction of R relative to the x axis= 16°54'33'

Explanation:

Knowing the magnitude and directions relative to the x axis, we can find the Cartesian representation of the vectors using the formula

$\vec{A}= | \vec{A} | \ ( \ cos(\theta) \ , \ sin (\theta) \ )$

where $| \vec{A} |$ its the magnitude and θ.

So, for our vectors, we will have:

$\vec{D}= 3.00 m \ ( \ cos(315) \ , \ sin (315) \ )$

$\vec{D}= ( 2.121 m , -2.121 m )$

and

$\vec{E}= 4.50 m \ ( \ cos(53.0) \ , \ sin (53.0) \ )$

$\vec{E}= ( 2.71 m , 3.59 m )$

Now, we can take the sum of the vectors

$\vec{R} = \vec{D} + \vec{E}$

$\vec{R} = ( 2.121 \ m , -2.121 \ m ) + ( 2.71 \ m , 3.59 \ m )$

$\vec{R} = ( 2.121 \ m + 2.71 \ m , -2.121 \ m + 3.59 \ m )$

$\vec{R} = ( 4.831 \ m , 1.469 \ m )$

This is R in Cartesian representation, now, to find the magnitude we can use the Pythagorean theorem

$|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2}$

$|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{(4.831 m)^2 + (1.469 m)^2}$

$|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{23.338 m^2 + 2.158 m^2}$

$|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{25.496 m^2}$

$|\vec{R}| = 5.049 m$

To find the direction, we can use

$\theta = arctan(\frac{R_y}{R_x})$

$\theta = arctan(\frac{1.469 \ m}{4.831 \ m})$

$\theta = arctan(0.304)$

$\theta = 16\°54'33''$

As we are in the first quadrant, this is relative to the x axis.

Why isn’t a bird sitting on a high-voltage power line electrocuted? Contrast this with the situation in which a large bird hits

Grace [21]

Answer:

The reason the bird is not electrocuted is due to some facts about circuit:

1. Completeness of circuit- This circuit needs to be

complete in order for current to flow. The bird standing on only one wire has not completed the circuit.

2. A potential difference: Another factor deciding

the direction of flow of current is (electric)

potential. Current always flows from a higher

potential to a lower potential. In other words it

can be said that electrons flow from lower

potential to higher one. (the direction of electric

current is opposite to that of the electrons). So

we need the potential difference for current to

flow. The bird standing on only one wire has no potential difference.

3. Path of least Resistance- Factor that decides

the path a current will flow in case of parallel

paths is the (electric) resistance offered by the

path. Current will always flow in the path that

offers least resistance. The leg of a bird has high resistance.

Explanation:

It has no potential difference as both the legs of bird are touching the same wire at same constant potential. ... If the bird would touch the ground while sitting on the wire or flap its wings and touch another electric wire with a different voltage, then it would get shocked and likely die by electrocution.

while in the other hand, the Bird that touches two wires with it wings at the same time will get electrocuted because it has completed a circuit and the its feathers created a potential difference .

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, an object will accelerate if you apply what kind of force? Question 1 options: Frict

Bumek [7]

An unbalanced force is required to accelerate an object according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.

<h3>What does Newton's Second Law of Motion state?</h3>

It states that the force applied to the object is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

$F = ma$

An object will accelerate when the net force applied on the object is more than zero or unbalanced.

The acceleration is the change in the direction or speed of the object. To achieve acceleration the force must be greater in a direction.

When force is greater in one the object move in that direction which is known as acceleration.

Therefore, an unbalanced force is required to accelerate an object according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.

You are given a vector in the xy plane that has a magnitude of 90.0 units and a y component of -61.0 units. A) Assuming the x co

kvasek [131]

Answer:

A) magnitude = sqrrt(147.1^2 + 61^2) = 159.2 units

B)22.5° (clockwise form -ve X axis)

Explanation:

given vector = V1 = x i - 60 j

magnitude of V1 = 90

x - component can be found out by resultant formula

90^2 = x^2 + (-60)^2

x = 67.08 = 67.1 units (3sf)

FOR THE VECTOR 80 UNITS IN -VE X DIRECTION

The X component is -80-------(1)

The Y component is 0 ---------(2)

<u>For the x- component of new added vector:</u>

(1)----------- x + 67.1 = -80

x = -147.1 = -147.1

<u>For the y- component of new added vector:</u>

<u>(</u>2)---------- y - 61 = 0

y = 61.0 (3sf)

the new added vector is = -147.1 i + 61 j

magnitude = sqrrt(147.1^2 + 61^2) = 159.2 units

direction = arctan (61 / 147.1)

= 22.5° (clockwise form -ve X axis)
