An electric current flows through a parallel circuit. Which units tell you about the amount of electrons traveling in the circui
kompoz [17]

'Ampere' is the unit of current.  That's the rate at which
electrons travel in the circuit ... the number of electrons
every second.  If you wanted the actual amount or number
of electrons, you'd need to know the length of time too.

It doesn't matter whether we're talking about a parallel or
series circuit.

A geneticist looks through a microscope to determine the phenotype of a fruit fly. The microscope is set to an overall magnifica
Ugo [173]

Answer:

f_{e}  = 1.9 cm

Explanation:

The magnification of a microscope is the product of the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnifier with the objective

    M = M₀ m_{e}

Where M₀ is the magnification of the objective and  m_{e} is the magnification of the eyepiece.

The eyepiece is focused to the near vision point (d = 25 cm)

       m_{e} = 25 /  f_{e}

The objective is focused on the distances of the tube (L)

     M₀ = -L / f₀

Substituting

     M = - L/f₀    25/f_{e}  

1) Let's look for the focal length of the eyepiece (faith)

     f_{e}  = - L 25 / f₀ M

     M = 400X = -400

     f_{e}  = - 12 25 /0.40 (-400)

     f_{e}  = 1.875 cm

Let's approximate two significant figures

    f_{e}  = 1.9 cm

Three identical 6.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface in contact with one another. The cubes are lined up
Westkost [7]

Answer:

24 N

Explanation:

m = mass of the cube = 6.0 kg

Consider the three cubes together as one.

M = mass of the three cubes together = 3 m = 3 (6.0) = 18 kg

a = acceleration of the combination = 2 ms⁻²

F = Force applied on the combination

Using Newton's second law

F = ma = (18) (2) = 36 N

F_{L} = Force by the left cube on the middle cube

Consider the forces acting on left cube, from the force diagram, we have

F - F_{L} = ma \\36 - F_{L} = (6) (2)\\F_{L} = 24 N

Why is friction like applied force but different from gravity?
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Friction is when a force is applied or done by weight dragging onto something.

Explanation:

Gravity is when an object is getting pulled toward the center of what is attracting it. And applied force is when someone/sommething is applying force.

At which points would the river be traveling the slowest?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

This would be traveling at the lower reaches.

Explanation:

A river would be traveling the fastest at the upper reaches and it becomes slower at the middle reaches and the slowest at the lower reaches. A place where water flows fast in a river is where the width is narrow and the bottom is steep. (This is just examples incase you would like to keep notes).
