Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Magnification of Microscope is

$M = M_o \times M_e$

Mo= Magnification of objective lens and

Me= magnification of the eyepiece.

Both magnifications( of objective and eyepiece) are inversely proportional to the focal length.

Magnification,

$M \propto \dfrac{1}{f}$

when the focal length is less magnification will be high and when the magnification is the low focal length of the microscope will be more.

Thus. Magnification will increase by decreasing the focal length.

The correct answer is Option B

What is the best use of an atomic model to explain the charge of the particles in thomson's beams

hoa [83]

The best use of an atomic model to explain the charge of the particles in Thomson's beams is:

<u>An atom's smaller negative particles are at a distance from the central positive particles, so the negative particles are easier to remove.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In Thomson's model, an atom comprises of electrons that are surrounded by a group of positive particles to equal the electron's negative particles, like negatively charged “plums” that are surrounded by positively charged “pudding”.

Atoms are composed of a nucleus that consists of protons and neutrons . Electron was discovered by Sir J.J.Thomson. Atoms are neutral overall, therefore in Thomson’s ‘plum pudding model’:

atoms are spheres of positive charge
electrons are dotted around inside

Thomson's conclusions made him to propose the Rutherford model of the atom where the atom had a concentrated nucleus of positive charge and also large mass.

A -0.06 charge that moves downward is in a uniform electric field with a strengthened of 200 N/C. What is the magnitude and dire

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force is 12 N Upwards

Explanation:

The force on a positive charge will be in the same direction as the field, but the force on a negative charge will be in the opposite direction to the field. Thus the direction of the force is upward.

Given;

magnitude of charge, q = 0.06 C

magnitude of electric field, E = 200 N/C

The magnitude of the force is given by;

F = qE

F = 0.06 x 200 N/C

F = 12 N Upwards

Therefore, the magnitude of the force is 12 N Upwards

The international Space Station (ISS) orbits the Earth once every 90 mins at an altitude of 409 km. How high would it have to be

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

It would have to be 36,719 Km high in order to be to be in geosynchronous orbit.

To find the answer, we need to know about the third law of Kepler.

<h3>What's the Kepler's third law?</h3>

It states that the square of the time period of orbiting planet or satellite is directly proportional to the cube of the radius of the orbit.
Mathematically, T²∝a³

<h3>What's the radius of geosynchronous orbit, if the time period and altitude of ISS are 90 minutes and 409 km respectively?</h3>

The time period of geosynchronous orbit is 24 hours or 1440 minutes.
As the Earth's radius is 6371 Km, so radius of the ISS orbit= 6371km + 409 km = 6780km.
If T1 and T2 are time period of geosynchronous orbit and ISS orbit respectively, a1 and a2 are radius of geosynchronous orbit and ISS orbit, as per third law of Kepler, (T1/T2)² = (a1/a2)³
a1= (T1/T2)⅔×a2

= (1440/90)⅔×6780

= 43,090 km
