Answer:
It cancels recoil.
Explanation:
For each action there is an equal an opposite reaction.
The principle of conservation of momentum tell us that if a single spore were ejected the fern would suffer a recoil from it. This recoil would take energy and speed from the spore. But if they are ejected in pairs the recoil is canceled and all the energy is transferred to the spores resulting in higher speeds.
Answer:
1) P₁ = -2 D, 2) P₂ = 6 D
Explanation:
for this exercise in geometric optics let's use the equation of the constructor
where f is the focal length, p and q are the distance to the object and the image, respectively
1) to see a distant object it must be at infinity (p = ∞)
q = f₁
2) for an object located at p = 25 cm
We can that in the two expressions we have the distance to the image, this is the distance where it can be seen clearly in general for a normal person is q = 50 cm
we substitute in the equations
1) f₁ = -50 cm
2)
= 0.06
f₂ = 16.67 cm
the expression for the power of the lenses is
P =
where the focal length is in meters
1) P₁ = 1/0.50
P₁ = -2 D
2) P₂ = 1 /0.16667
P₂ = 6 D
Acceleration = (change of speed) / (time for the change)
Change in speed = (22 - 4) = 18 m/s.
Time for the change = 3 sec.
Acceleration = 18/3 = 6 m/s per second.
