When would you use a compound microscope?

1 answer:

8 0

a compound microscope is used for viewing samples at high magnification<span> 40 - 1000x, which is achieved by the combined effect of two sets of lenses: the ocular lens in the eyepiece and the objective lenses close to the sample.</span>

A 0.25 kg mass is placed on a vertically oriented spring that is stretched 0.56 meters from its equilibrium position. If the spr

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The speed of the ball when it reaches equilibrium position is 3.31 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 0.25 kg

initial displacement of the object, h₁ = 0.56 m

spring constant, k = 105 N/m

displacement at equilibrium position, h₂ = 0

initial velocity of the object, v₁ = 0

velocity of the object at equilibrium position = v₂

The change in gravitational potential energy at the equilibrium position is given as;

ΔP.E = mg(h₂ - h₁)

The change in kinetic energy of the object at the equilibrium position is given as;

ΔK.E = ¹/₂m(v₂² - v₁²)

Apply the principle of conservation of mechanical energy;

ΔK.E + ΔP.E = 0

¹/₂m(v₂² - v₁²) + mg(h₂ - h₁) = 0

¹/₂m(v₂² - 0) + mg(0 - h₁) = 0

¹/₂mv₂² - mgh₁ = 0

¹/₂mv₂² = mgh

¹/₂v₂² = gh

v₂² = 2gh

v₂ = √2gh

v₂ = √(2 x 9.8 x 0.56)

v₂ = 3.31 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the ball when it reaches equilibrium position is 3.31 m/s

When do vernal equinoxes usually occur? autumnal?

shepuryov [24]

Spring tides occur twice each lunar month all year long without regard to the season. Neap tides, which also occur twice a month, happen when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other. ... The moon appears full when the Earth is between the moon and the sun

The entropy of an isolated system must be conserved, so it never changes.a. Trueb. Fasle

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

B: False

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics states that: the entropy of an isolated system will never decrease because isolated systems always tend to evolve towards thermodynamic equilibrium which is a state with maximum entropy.

Thus, it means that the entropy change will always be positive.

Therefore, the given statement in the question is false.

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

v = 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

The wavelength of the waves is given as the horizontal distance between the crests:

λ = wavelength = 5.5 m

Now, the time period is given as the time taken by boat to move from the highest point again to the highest point. So it will be equal to twice the time taken by the boat to travel from highest to the lowest point:

T = Time Period = 2(2.3 s) = 4.6 s

Now, the speed of the wave is given as:

$v = f\lambda$

where,

v= speed of wave = ?

f = frequency of wave = $\frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{4.6\ s} = 0.217\ Hz$

Therefore,

$v = (0.217\ Hz)(5.5\ m)\\$
