Answer:

the magnitude of the angular magnification of the telescope. is 4

Explanation:

Calculate the magnitude of the angular magnification of the telescope.

Given that,

distance = 25cm

focal length from the objective f₀ = 20cm

focal length from eye piece f₁ = 5cm

The angular magnification of the telescope is

$M = \frac{f_0}{f_1}$

Magnification = 20 / 5

magnification = 4

Hence, the magnitude of the angular magnification of the telescope. is 4

The team monitoring a space probe exploring the outer solar system ﬁ nds that radio transmissions from the probe take 2.53 hours

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

If you can observe, we are only given one parameter here which is the time. If you want to compute for the distance, you have to know the speed. The hint here is the 'radio transmissions'. All the information gathered by the probe from the space, is sent back to the Earth by electromagnetic waves. Hence, we must know the speed of electromagnetic waves. Since they are as fast as light, their speed is equal to 300 million meters per second. Then, we can finally determine the distance.

d = speed*time
d = (300×10⁶ m/s)(2.53 hours)

Since 1 hour = 3,600 seconds,

d = (300×10⁶ m/s)(2.53 hours)(3,600 seconds/1 hour)
d = 2.73×10⁻¹² m

Spitting cobras can defend themselves by squeezing muscles around their venom glands to squirt venom at an attacker. Suppose a s

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: 1.289 m

Explanation:

The path the cobra's venom follows since it is spitted until it hits the ground, is described by a parabola. Hence, the equations for parabolic motion (which has two components) can be applied to solve this problem:

<u>x-component: </u>

$x=V_{o}cos\theta t$ (1)

Where:

$x$ is the horizontal distance traveled by the venom

$V_{o}=3.10 m/s$ is the venom's initial speed

$\theta=47\°$ is the angle

$t$ is the time since the venom is spitted until it hits the ground

<u>y-component: </u>

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (2)

Where:

$y_{o}=0.44 m$ is the initial height of the venom

$y=0$ is the final height of the venom (when it finally hits the ground)

$g=-9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Let's begin with (2) to find the time it takes the complete path:

$0=0.44 m+3.10 m/s sin\theta(47\°)+\frac{-9.8m/s^{2} t^{2}}{2}$ (3)

Rewritting (3):

$-4.9 m/s^{2} t^{2} + 2.267 m/s t + 0.44 m=0$ (4)

This is a quadratic equation (also called equation of the second degree) of the form $at^{2}+bt+c=0$ , which can be solved with the following formula:

$t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ (5)

Where:

$a=-4.9 m/s^{2$

$b=2.267 m/s$

$c=0.44 m$

Substituting the known values:

$t=\frac{-2.267 \pm \sqrt{2.267^{2}-4(-4.9)(0.44)}}{2(-4.9)}$ (6)

Solving (6) we find the positive result is:

$t=0.609 s$ (7)

Substituting (7) in (1):

$x=(3.10 m/s)cos(47\°)(0.609 s)$ (8)

We finally find the horizontal distance traveled by the venom:

$x=1.289 m$

What might happen if water molecules did not have a slight negative charge on one end and a slight positive charge on the other?

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

It would not be possible the cohesion among water molecules by the polar covalent bonding.

Well, to understand this in a better way, let's begin by explaining that water is special due to its properties, which makes this fluid useful for many purposes and for the existence of life.

In this sense, one of the main properties of water is cohesion (molecular cohesion), which is the attraction of molecules to others of the same type. So, water molecule ( $H_{2}O$ ) has 2 hydrogen atoms attached to 1 oxygen atom and can stick to itself through hydrogen bonds.

How is this possible?

By the polar covalent bonding, a process in which electrons are shared unequally between atoms, due to the unequal distribution of electrons between atoms of different elements. In other words: slightly positive and slightly negative charges appear in different parts of the molecule.

Now, it can be said that a water molecule has a negative side (oxygen) and a positive side (hydrogen). This is how the oxygen atom tends to monopolize more electrons and keeps them away from hydrogen. Thanks to this polarity, water molecules can stick together.

Debido al desorden en el laboratorio un científico tiene 2 termómetros diferentes pero no sabe en qué escalas están por lo que d

just olya [345]

Answer:

La escala del termómetro ''A'' es grados Celsius.

La escala del termómetro ''B'' es grados Fahrenheit.

Explanation:

Para hallar en qué escalas están los termómetros partimos de que la mezcla a la cuál se midió su temperatura mantuvo su temperatura constante.

Esto quiere decir que los termómetros están expresando la misma temperatura pero en una escala distinta.

Sabemos que dada una temperatura en grados Celsius ''C'' si la queremos convertir a grados Fahrenheit ''F'' debemos utilizar la siguiente ecuación :

$F=(\frac{9}{5})C+32$ (I)

Ahora, si reemplazamos y asumimos que la temperatura de 18° es en grados Celsius, entonces si reemplazamos $C=18$ en la ecuación (I) deberíamos obtener $F=64.4$ ⇒

$F=(\frac{9}{5}).(18)+32=32.4+32=64.4$

Efectivamente obtenemos el valor esperado. Finalmente, corroboramos que la temperatura del termómetro ''A'' está medida en grados Celsius y la temperatura del termómetro ''B'' en grados Fahrenheit.
