Answer:

Explanation:

goes down as the temperature decreases, and vice versa. Sound's frequency is independent of temperature, while its speed is directly proportional to temperature. Heat, like sound, is a form of kinetic energy. Molecules at higher temperatures have more energy, thus they can vibrate faster. Since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly. ... This is faster than 331 meters per second, which is the speed of sound in air at freezing temperatures.

hope this helps!!!!

A compound microscope is made with an objective lens (f0 = 0.900 cm) and an eyepiece (fe = 1.10 cm). The lenses are separated by

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

-252.52

Explanation:

L = Distance between lenses = 10 cm

D = Near point = 25 cm

$f_o$ = Focal length of objective = 0.9 cm

$f_e$ = Focal length of eyepiece = 1.1 cm

Magnification of a compound microscope is given by

$m=-\frac{L}{f_o}\frac{D}{f_e}\\\Rightarrow m=-\frac{10}{0.9}\times \frac{25}{1.1}\\\Rightarrow m=-252.52$

The angular magnification of the compound microscope is -252.52

The average coefficient of linear expansion of copper is 1.7 10-5 (°c)−1. the statue of liberty is 93 m tall on a summer morning

sammy [17]

Let the rise in temperature be $5^0C$

The expansion in length due to change in temperature is given by the expression lαΔt , where l is the length, α is the coefficient of linear expansion, Δt is the change in temperature.

Here l = 93 m, α = $1.7*10^{-5}$ $^0C^{-1}$ , and Δt = $5^0C$
