I found the power of the eye itself by doing P= 1/.25 m + 1/ -.75 m. I used negative .75 m because the image would be on the same side of the object. I got a power of 2.67 d. The I added that to the .75 d of the lens. Then I used the same equation and did 3.42= 1/.25 m +1/q to find q, and got...

Homework Statement
Students used a speed gun to measure the final speed of slider at the bottom of the slide. They measure the height difference between the top and bottom of the slide to be 3.0 m.
If the speed of a slider at the bottom of the slide is 5.0 m/s, what is the efficiency of the...
Homework Statement
I know that on a horizontal surface. if the net force is 0 in the y direction the weight of object=the normal force, but wouldn't the normal force always equal the magnitude of gravity on an object, just in opposite directions? Because if the weight is stronger than the...
