A star is born when clouds of dust and elements are gathered together in a certain space due to gravity, more and more mass and therefore pressure builds. When the pressure becomes enough to overcome the electronic repulsive force between two hydrogen nuclei, they are forced together and massive amounts of energy are given off forming helium atoms. This energy is then used to fuse other nuclei together. This could be compared to the way human life starts, where instead of 2 nuclei joining together to start a life cycle, two gametes, or sex cells are joined together. Also at the start of both a star and persons life, we are weak and we gain strength until we reach the height of our existence, then humans slowly become less efficient at doing what they do until eventually they cannot sustain themselves any further.

A geneticist looks through a microscope to determine the phenotype of a fruit fly. The microscope is set to an overall magnifica
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

f_{e} = 1.7 cm

Explanation:

The magnification of the compound microscope is given by the product of the magnification of each lens

        M = M₀ m_{e}

        M = - L/f₀  25/f_{e}

Where f₀ and f_{e} are the focal lengths of the lens and eyepiece, respectively, all values ​​in centimeters

In this exercise they give us the magnification (M = 400X), the focal length of the lens (f₀ = 0.6 cm), the distance of the tube (L = 16 cm), let's look for the focal length of the eyepiece (f_{e})

         f_{e} = - L / f₀ 25 / M

Let's calculate

        f_{e} = - 16 / 0.6 25 / (-400)

        f_{e} = 1.67 cm

The minus sign in the magnification is because the image is inverted.

          f_{e} = 1.7 cm

Compare the circular velocity of a particle orbiting in the Encke Division, whose distance from Saturn 133,370 km, to a particle
Ket [755]

Answer:

The particle in the D ring is 1399 times faster than the particle in the Encke Division.

Explanation:

The circular velocity is define as:

v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}  

Where r is the radius of the trajectory and T is the orbital period

To determine the circular velocity of both particles it is necessary to know the orbital period of each one. That can be done by means of the Kepler’s third law:

T^{2} = r^{3}

Where T is orbital period and r is the radius of the trajectory.

Case for the particle in the Encke Division:

T^{2} = r^{3}

T = \sqrt{(133370 Km)^{3}}

T = \sqrt{(2.372x10^{15} Km)}

T = 4.870x10^{7} Km

It is necessary to pass from kilometers to astronomical unit (AU), where 1 AU is equivalent to 150.000.000 Km ( 1.50x10^{8} Km )

1 AU is defined as the distance between the earth and the sun.

\frac{4.870x10^{7} Km}{1.50x10^{8}Km} . 1AU

T = 0.324 AU

But 1 year is equivalent to 1 AU according with Kepler’s third law, since 1 year is the orbital period of the earth.

T = \frac{0.324 AU}{1 AU} . 1 year

T = 0.324 year

That can be expressed in units of days

T = \frac{0.324 year}{1 year} . 365.25 days  

T = 118.60 days

<em>Circular velocity for the particle in the </em><em>Encke Division</em><em>:</em>

v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}

v = \frac{2 \pi (133370 Km)}{(118.60 days)}

For a better representation of the velocity, kilometers and days are changed to meters and seconds respectively.

118.60 days .\frac{86400 s}{1 day} ⇒ 10247040 s

133370 Km .\frac{1000 m}{1 Km} ⇒ 133370000 m

v = \frac{2 \pi (133370000 m)}{(10247040 s)}

v = 81.778 m/s

Case for the particle in the D Ring:

For the case of the particle in the D Ring, the same approach used above can be followed

T^{2} = r^{3}

T = \sqrt{(69000 Km)^{3}}

T = \sqrt{(3.285x10^{14} Km)}

T = 1.812x10^{7} Km

\frac{1.812x10^{7} Km}{1.50x10^{8}Km} . 1 AU

T = 0.120 AU

T = \frac{0.120 AU}{1 AU} . 1 year

T = 0.120 year

T = \frac{0.120 year}{1 year} . 365.25 days  

T = 43.83 days

<em>Circular velocity for the particle in </em><em>D Ring</em><em>:</em>

v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}

v = \frac{2 \pi (69000 Km)}{(43.83 days)}

For a better representation of the velocity, kilometers and days are changed to meters and seconds respectively.

43.83 days . \frac{86400 s}{1 day} ⇒ 3786912 s

69000 Km . \frac{1000 m}{ 1 Km} ⇒ 69000000 m

v = \frac{2 \pi (69000000 m)}{(3786912 s)}

v = 114.483 m/s

 

\frac{114.483 m/s}{81.778 m/s} = 1.399            

The particle in the D ring is 1399 times faster than the particle in the Encke Division.

What pollutant forms when automobile emissions react with oxygen gas and ultraviolet rays?
creativ13 [48]

Ozone is a molecule that consists of three oxygen atoms. When high-energy ultraviolet rays strike ordinary oxygen molecules (O2), they split the molecule into two single oxygen atoms, known as atomic oxygen. A freed oxygen atom then combines with another oxygen molecule to form a molecule of ozone.  Hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides come from great variety of industrial and combustion processes. Motor vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions, gasoline vapors, and chemical solvents are some of the major sources of NOx and VOC that acts as a precursor of ozone. In urban areas, the number of automobiles are more and therefore, more production of such harmful gases. These gases in presence of sunlight leads to the formation of bad ozone.
