The definition for the prime meridian is: The prime meridian with 0 degrees longitude runs through Greenwich. Polaris is the north star <span>at 50 degrees above the horizon, which means 50 degrees latitude.
</span>If you observe Polaris at 50 degrees of altitude, you are at latitude 50 North. You that's why you know that your boat's location is <span>50Âº north latitude and 0Âº longitude.</span>

If there are 50 people per square kilometer in a city, and the area of the city is 1.5 × 10 square kilometers. What is the total

qaws [65]

Answer:

750 people

Explanation:

From the question,

Number of people in the city = population density×Area of the city

N = D×A.......................... Equagtion 1

Where N = Number of people in the city, D = population density, A = Area of the city.

Given: D = 50 people per square kilometer, A = 1.5×10 square kilometer.

Substitute into equation 1

N = 50(1.5×10)

N = 750 people.

Hence the total number of people in the city is 750 people.

A high-pass filter consists of a 1.66 μF capacitor in series with a 80.0 Ω resistor. The circuit is driven by an AC source with

Julli [10]

Explanation:

Given that,

Capacitor $C=1.66\ \mu F$

Resistor $R=80.0\ \Omega$

Peak voltage = 5.10 V

(A). We need to calculate the crossover frequency

Using formula of frequency

$f_{c}=\dfrac{1}{2\pi R C}$

Where, R = resistor

C = capacitor

Put the value into the formula

$f_{c}=\dfrac{1}{2\pi\times80.0\times1.66\times10^{-6}}$

$f_{c}=1198.45\ Hz$

(B). We need to calculate the $V_{R}$ when $f = \dfrac{1}{2f_{c}}$

Using formula of $V_{R}$

$V_{R}=V_{0}(\dfrac{R}{\sqrt{R^2+(\dfrac{1}{2\pi fC})^2}})$

Put the value into the formula

$V_{R}=5.10\times(\dfrac{80.0}{\sqrt{(80.0)^2+(\dfrac{1}{2\pi\times\dfrac{1}{2}\times1198.45\times1.66\times10^{-6}})^2}})$

$V_{R}=2.280\ Volt$

(C). We need to calculate the $V_{R}$ when $f = f_{c}$

Using formula of $V_{R}$

$V_{R}=5.10\times(\dfrac{80.0}{\sqrt{(80.0)^2+(\dfrac{1}{2\pi\times1198.45\times1.66\times10^{-6}})^2}})$

$V_{R}=3.606\ Volt$

(D). We need to calculate the $V_{R}$ when $f = 2f_{c}$

Using formula of $V_{R}$

$V_{R}=5.10\times(\dfrac{80.0}{\sqrt{(80.0)^2+(\dfrac{1}{2\pi\times2\times1198.45\times1.66\times10^{-6}})^2}})$

$V_{R}=4.561\ Volt$

Hence, This is the required solution.

A very delicate sample is placed 0.150 cm from the objective lens of a microscope. The focal length of the objective is 0.140 cm

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

m = 14*26 = 364

Explanation:

overall magnification is given as m

$m = m_{o}* m_{e}$

mo magnification of objective lens

me magnification of EYE lens

where mo is given as

$m_{o} = \frac{v_{o}}{-u _{0}}$

and me as

$m_{e} = 1+\frac{D}{f_{e}}$

d is distant of distinct vision = 25.0 cm for normal eye

fe = focal length of eye piece

focal length of objective lense is 0.140 cm

we know that

$\frac{1}{v_{0}}-\frac{1}{u_{0}}=\frac{1}{f_{0}}$

$\frac{1}{v_{0}} = \frac{1}{u_{0}} + \frac{1}{f_{0}}$

$\frac{1}{v_{0}} = \frac{1}{0.150} + \frac{1}{0.14}$

$\frac{1}{v_{o}} = 2.1 cm$

$m_{o} = \frac{2.1}{0.150} = 14$

$m_{e} = 1+\frac{25}{1}$

$m_{e} =26$

$m = m_{o}* m_{e}$

m = 14*26 = 364
