what if the P= 25t what would be the answer?
Prescription for vision and correction are given in units called diopters(D). Determine the meaning of that unit.Obtain information (perhaps by calling a community optometrist or performing an internet search) on the minimum uncertainty with which corrections in diopters are determined and the accuracy with which corrective lenses can be produced.Discuss the sources of uncertainties in both the prescription and accuracy in the manufacture of lenses.
I'm trying to convert m/s to square root C x V / kg and I need specifics.
