Answer:
Explanation:
We could use the following suvat equation:
where
s is the vertical displacement of the coin
v is its final velocity, when it hits the water
t is the time
g is the acceleration of gravity
Taking upward as positive direction, in this problem we have:
s = -1.2 m
And the coin reaches the water when
t = 1.3 s
Substituting these data, we can find v:
where the negative sign means the direction is downward.
Answer:
(a) nearsighted
(b) diverging
(c) the lens strength in diopters is 1.33 D, and considering the convention for divergent lenses normally prescribed as: -1 33 D
Explanation:
(a) The person is nearsighted because he/she cannot see objects at distances larger than 75 cm.
(b) the type of correcting lens has to be such that it counteracts the excessive converging power of the eye of the person, so the lens has to be diverging (which by the way carries by convention a negative focal length)
(c) the absolute value of the focal length (f) is given by the formula:
So it would normally be written with a negative signs in front indicating a divergent lens.
