The eyes of many older people have lost the ability to accommodate, and so an older person’s near point may be more than 25 cm f

rom the eye. Does the older person’s eye have a larger or smaller refractive power than a normal eye, when focused on an object at the near point? Explain.

Answer:

Smaller refractive power

Explanation:

The refractive power of an eye is the extent to which it can converge or diverge the light rays.

Near point is the the closest point for an eye such that when an object is placed at that point the image it forms is sharp and clearly visible to the eye.

A the person ages, the ciliary muscles of the eyes weakens and as a result the lens contracts and the formation of the image takes place behind the retina instead of forming at the retina.

Thus the near point also increases and the refractive power becomes smaller.

A friend throws a heavy ball toward you while you are standing on smooth ice. You can either catch the ball or deflect it back t
baherus [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

My speed after the interaction will depend upon the impulse the ball will make on me . Now impulse can be expressed as follows

Impulse = change in momentum

change in momentum in the ball will be maximum when the ball bounces back with the same velocity which can be shown as follows

change in momentum = mv - ( - mv ) = 2mv

So when ball is bounced back with same velocity , it suffers greatest impulse from my hand . In return ,  it reacts with the same impulse on my hand pushing me with greatest impulse according to third law of motion. this maximizes my speed after the interaction.

A 2.0-kg object is lifted vertically through 3.00 m by a 150-N force. How much work is done on the object by gravity during this
noname [10]

Answer:

-58.8 J

Explanation:

The work done by a force is given by:

W=Fdcos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement.

In this problem, we are asked to find the work done by gravity, so we must calculate the magnitude of the force of gravity first, which is equal to the weight of the object:

F=mg=(2.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=19.6 N

The displacement of the object is d = 3.00 m, while \theta=180^{\circ}, because the displacement is upward, while the force of gravity is downward; therefore, the work done by gravity is

W=Fdcos \theta=(19.6 N)(3.00 m)(cos 180^{\circ})=-58.8 J

And the work done is negative, because it is done against the motion of the object.

Consider the vector b⃗ with magnitude 4.00 m at an angle 23.5∘ north of east. what is the x component bx of this vector? express
BlackZzzverrR [31]
Decomposing the vector b on the x-axis and the y-axis, we get a rectangle triangle where the two sides are bx (x-axis) and by (y-axis), and b is the hypothenuse.
The component in x, bx, is equal to the product between the hypothenuse and the cosine of the angle between b and the x-axis, which is 23.5 ^{\circ}:
b_x = b \cos (23^{\circ})=(4.00 m)(\cos (23^{\circ}))=3.68 m

Every spring has an equilibrium position. Which statements describe a spring at its equilibrium position? Check all that
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The elastic potential energy is zero.

The net force acting on the spring is zero.

Explanation:

The equilibrium position of a spring is the position that the spring has when its neither compressed nor stretched - it is also called natural length of the spring.

Let's now analyze the different statements:

The spring constant is zero.  --> false. The spring constant is never zero.

The elastic potential energy is at a maximum  --> false. The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where k is the spring constant and x the displacement. Therefore, the elastic potential energy is maximum when x, the displacement, is maximum.

The elastic potential energy is zero.  --> true. As we saw from the equation above, the elastic potential energy is zero when the displacement is zero (at the equilibrium position).

The displacement of the spring is at a maxi num  --> false, for what we said above

The net force acting on the spring is zero. --> true, as the spring is neither compressed nor stretched

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The kinetic energy after the perfectly inelastic collision would be zero Joules. <span>A </span>perfectly inelastic collision<span> occurs when the maximum amount of kinetic energy of a system is lost. Hope this answers the question.</span>
