Answer:

2.28

Explanation:

From mirror formula,

1/f = 1/u+1/v .......... Equation 1

Where f = focal length of the mirror, v = image distance, u = object distance.

Note: The focal length mirror is positive.

make v the subject of the equation,

v = fu/(u-f)............ Equation 2

Given: f = 2.5 cm, u = 1.4 cm

Substitute into equation 2

v = 2.5(1.4)/(1.4-2.5)

v = 3.5/-1.1

v = -3.2 cm.

Note: v is negative because it is a virtual image.

But,

Magnification = image distance/object distance

M = v/u

Where M = magnification.

Given: v = 3.2 cm, u = 1.4 cm

M = 3.2/1.4

M = 2.28.

Thus the magnification of the tooth = 2.28.

How much heat is needed to change the temperature of 3 grams of gold (c = 0.129 ) from 21°C to 363°C? The answer is expressed to
Temka [501]

Q= mcΔT

Where Q is heat or energy

M is mass, c is heat capacitance and t is temperature

You have to convert Celsius into kelvin in order to use this formula I believe

Celsius + 273 = Kelvin

21 + 273 = 294K

363 + 273 = 636K

Now...

Q= (0.003)(0.129)(636-294)

Q= 0.132 J if you are using kilograms, in terms of grams which seems more appropriate the answer would be 132J of energy.

The end diastolic volume of a heart is 140 mL Assume that it is a sphere. At end diastole, the intraventricular pressure is 7mmI
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that, V = 140 mL = 0.00014 m3

Assume that it is a sphere. so, we have

V = (4/3) \pir3

r3 = (0.00014 m3) (3) / (4) (3.14)

r = \sqrt[3]{}\sqrt[3]{}3\sqrt{}3.34 x 10-5 m3

r = 1.93 x 10-7 m

(a) The wall tension at end diastole will be given as :

using a formula, we have

T = P r / 2 H

where, P = intraventricular pressure at end diastole = 7 mmHg = 933.2 Pa

H = wall thickness at this time = 0.011 m

then, we get

T = (933.2 Pa) (1.93 x 10-7 m) / 2 (0.011 m)

T = 8.18 x 10-3 N

(b) The wall tension at the end of isovolumetric contraction will be given as :

using a formula, we have

T = P r / 2 H

where, P = intraventricular pressure at end of isovolumetric contraction = 80 mmHg = 10665.7 Pa

H = wall thickness at this time = 0.011 m

then, we get

T = (10665.7 Pa) (1.93 x 10-7 m) / 2 (0.011 m)

T = 9.35 x 10-2 N

(d) The wall stress from A and B which will be given as :

we know that, \sigma = T / w

For part A, we have

\sigmaA = (8.18 x 10-3 N) / (0.011 m)

\sigmaA = 0.743 N/m

For part B, we have

\sigmaB = (9.35 x 10-2 N) / (0.011 m)

\sigmaB = 8.5 N/m

Identify three situations in which convection occurs.
Minchanka [31]
A boiling pot of water (the water travels in a current throughout the pot), a hot air balloon (hot air rises, making the balloon rise) , and cup of a steaming, hot liquid (hot air rises, creating steam) are all situations where convection occurs.

Which atoms have the lowest electronegativity?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer: Option A) Atoms to the left on the periodic table

Explanation:

The periodic table has metallic elements on the left side, semi-metal or metalloids in the middle, and nonmetallic elements of the right side.

Since, electronegativity of an atom tells of its power to attract electrons. Metals give off electrons rather than attract electrons like non-metals; thus, metals have the lowest electronegativity (with values less than 2.4 while nonmetal have high electronegativity values above 2.7

Infact, the element with the highest electronegativity is a non-metal (fluorine) while the element with the lowest electronegativity is a metal (potassium)

Thus, metallic atoms located on the left side of the periodic table have the lowest electronegativity
