Using the standard convention "positive is up", what is the sign of the acceleration of a rock you throw up (a) as it is going u

p, and (b) as it is coming back down?

Answer:

(a) Negative

(b) Positive

Explanation:

Here is a question on sign.

(a) When the rock is going up, it is working against gravity. In this case, the acceleration due to gravity will take a negative value. This is because gravity works or acts downwards

(b) When the rock is coming down, it is actually working with gravity. So in this case, the sign will ne positive

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

Calculate the force of gravity on a 1–kilogram box located at a point 1.3 × 107 meters from the center of Earth if the force on
Sati [7]

Since you already gave us the weight of the 2.5-kg box,
we don't even need to know what the distance is, just
as long as it doesn't change.

Look at the formula for the gravitational force:

                           F = G  m₁ m₂ / R² .

If 'G', 'm₁' (mass of the Earth), and 'R' (distance from the Earth's center)
don't change, then the Force is proportional to  m₂ ... mass of the box,
and you can write a simple proportion:

                       (6.1 N) / (2.5 kg)  =  (F) / (1 kg)

Cross-multiply:  (6.1 N) (1 kg)  =  (F) (2.5 kg)

Divide each side by (2.5 kg):  F = (6.1N) x (1 kg) / (2.5 kg)  =  2.44 N .

The current in a wire varies with time according to the relationship 1=55A−(0.65A/s2)t2. (a) How many coulombs of charge pass a
mario62 [17]

Answer:

(A) Q = 321.1C (B) I = 42.8A

Explanation:

(a)Given I = 55A−(0.65A/s2)t²

I = dQ/dt

dQ = I×dt

To get an expression for Q we integrate with respect to t.

So Q = ∫I×dt =∫[55−(0.65)t²]dt

Q = [55t – 0.65/3×t³]

Q between t=0 and t= 7.5s

Q = [55×(7.5 – 0) – 0.65/3(7.5³– 0³)]

Q = 321.1C

(b) For a constant current I in the same time interval

I = Q/t = 321.1/7.5 = 42.8A.
