Answer:

An object has potential energy (stored energy) when it is not in motion. Once a force has been applied or it begins to move the potential energy changes to kinetic energy (energy of motion).

EXAMPLE: A rock sitting on the edge of a cliff. If the rock falls, the potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy, as the rock will be moving. A stretched elastic string in a longbow.

Olin [163]

3.75 N

Explanation:

F = k(q)(q)/r^2 = 5 N

F' = k(q)(3q)/(2r)^2

= k×3(q)(q)/4r^2

= (3/4)[k(q)(q)/r^2]

= (3/4)F

= (3/4)(5 N)

= 3.75 N

Sarai strolls to the right with an average speed of 1.2m/s for 1500 seconds. What was Sarai's displacement in meters?

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

1800 meters

Explanation:

Average speed=1.2 m/s

time= 1500 secs

Displacement = average speed × time

= 1.2 × 1500

=1800 meters

A nearsighted person wants to see an apple that is 7 meters away but can only clearly see objects that are at most 62 cm away fr

natulia [17]

Answer:

The power of the corrective lenses is 3.162 D.

Explanation:

Given that,

Object distance = 70 cm

Image distance = 62 cm

Distance between eyes and glasses = 2.5 cm

Eyeglasses made of diverging corrective lenses can help her to see the apple clearly

So now ,

Object distance from glass =70-2.5 = 67.5 cm

Image distance from glass = 62-2.5 = 59.5 cm

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula for focal length

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{1}{59.5}-\dfrac{1}{67.5}$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{508}{16065}\ cm$

We need to calculate the power of lens

Using formula of power

$P=\dfrac{100}{f}$

$P=-\dfrac{508}{16065}\times100$

$P=-3.162 \ D$

Negative sign shows the lens is diverging.

Hence, The power of the corrective lenses is 3.162 D.
