The uncorrected eye. For the following questions, assume that the distance between the eye lens and the retina is 1.70 cm. In other words, since the image is always formed on the retina, the distance between the lens and the image is always 1.70 cm. Also note that, as is seen in the ray diagram, since the eye lens is converging and the image is on the opposite side of the lens compared to the object, the image is always real.

part e) The nearsighted patient in part c tries to view an object that is very far away (object at infinity). Use the focal length calculated in part c to determine the location of the image. How does this compare to the distance from the eye lens to the retina? What kind of image is seen on the retina?

part f) The farsighted patient in part d tries to view an object that is 25cm away, which a person with normal vision can see clearly. Use the focal length calculated in part d to determine the location of the image. How does this compare to the distance from the eye lens to the retina? What kind of image is seen on the retina?

calculated pt c: f= 1.70cm calculated pt d: f= 1.63cm

Two children, A (mass 25 kg ) and B (mass 50 kg ), are playing on a merry-go-round (which you can assume is a solid disk with mass 225 kg  and radius 1.5m). Assume that any friction on the axle of the merry-go-round is negligible.

(A) A starts spinning the merry-go-round, giving it an angular velocity of 7 rad/s, then she stops pushing it. B runs with a speed of 6 m/s directly toward the center of the merry-go-round. He jumps and lands on the edge of the merry-go-round. What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round once B lands on it?

(B) After landing, B walks to the center of the merry-go-round. What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round when he gets to the center?

(C) While B is in the center of the merry-go-round, A runs up with a speed of 7 m/s  tangentially in the same direction the merry-go-round is spinning, jumping onto the edge of the merry-go-round. What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round after A lands on it?

(D) A stays in place while B walks back to the edge of the merry-go-round. What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round when he gets there?

Please define moment of arm (regarding physics) in a way I can understand. it is referring to the arm on a mousetrap car that was built. I need to discuss its effectiveness

1) A 6.47 mm high firefly sits on the axis of, and 11.5 cm in front of, the thin lens A, whose focal length is 6.11 cm . Behind lens A there is another thin lens, lens B, with a focal length of 20.7 cm . The two lenses share a common axis and are 61.5 cm apart. Is the image of the firefly that lens B forms real or virtual? What is the height of this image? Express the answer as a positive number (nm)?

One of the inevitable consequences of aging is a decrease in the flexibility of the lens. This leads to the farsighted condition called presbyopia (elder eye). Almost every aging human will experience it to some extent. However, for the myopic, or nearsighted, person it is possible that far vision will be limited by a subpar far point and near vision will be hampered by an expanding near point. One solution is to wear bifocal lenses that are diverging in the upper half to correct the nearsightedness and converging in the lower half to correct the farsightedness.

Suppose one such individual asks for your help. The patient complains that she can’t see far enough to safely drive (her far point dfar=114 cmd and she can’t read the font of her smart phone without holding it beyond arm’s length (her near point dnear=81.0 cm? Prescribe the bifocals that will correct the visual issues for your patient.

a)What is the focal length fns of the part of the bifocal lens that corrects the patient's nearsightedness?

b) What is the focal length ffsffs of the part of the bifocal lens that corrects the patient's farsightedness?

An archaeologist finds some ancient jewelry made from bone. The jewelry has a carbon mass of 163 g (HINT: Assume all the carbon is ¹²C and determine the number of atoms) and careful measurements show that the remaining ¹⁴C has a current decay rate of 21 decays/s. Determine the age of the bone (and presumably the jewelry). Remember, the ratio of ¹⁴C to ¹²C when the animal died was 1.3×10^-12 & the half-life of ¹⁴C is 5730 y.
age of bone =

A geologist finds an old rock and wants to determine its age using rubidium-strontium dating. This is possible because ⁸⁷Rb, which has a half-life of 4.75×10¹⁰ y, undergoes β ⁻ decay and becomes ⁸⁷Sr. The geologist determines that the ratio of ⁸⁷Sr to ⁸⁷Rb is 0.289. Assuming there was no ⁸⁷Sr in the rock when it was formed, determine the age of the rock.
age of rock =
