Answer:

distance between the dime and the mirror, u = 0.30 m

Given:

Radius of curvature, r = 0.40 m

magnification, m = - 2 (since,inverted image)

Solution:

Focal length is half the radius of curvature, f = \frac{r}{2}

f = \frac{0.40}{2} = 0.20 m

Now,

m = - \frac{v}{u}

- 2 = -\frac{v}{u}

\frac{v}{u} = 2                  (2)

Now, by lens maker formula:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}

\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}

v = \frac{uf}{u - f}            (3)

From eqn (2):

v = 2u

put v = 2u in eqn (3):

2u = \frac{uf}{u - f}

2 = \frac{f}{u - f}

2(u - 0.20) = 0.20

u = 0.30 m

In the z-scheme ____ is the initial electron donor and ____ is the final electron acceptor.
Alenkinab [10]

In the z-scheme, water is the initial electron donor and NADP+ is the final electron acceptor.

<u>Explanation: </u>

It is a process of photosynthesis. It occurs in photosynthetic chemical reaction. The z scheme is basically a term for representing the oxidation and reduction reaction occurring in plants during photosynthesis.

The water present in the chlorophyll pigment donates electrons and become the initial electron donor. Those electrons get transferred to NADP+ and forms NADPH. Thus, water acts as electron donor initially and so the final electron is NADP+.

Compare and contrast the geocentric view of the solar system with the heliocentric view of the solar system
Mandarinka [93]
This is fairly easy. The earlier view of the solar system (geocentric) was all based on how other planets and the sun were constantly revolving the earth and we were completely stationary. The Heliocentric view has been proved to be accurate, and it is that the sun is stationary and the planets are revolving it. The similarities are that in that time, it was a continued belief that the planets were the Roman Gods, i.e. Jupiter, Neptune. Another thing is that they were correct in the Geocentric theory with the thought that the planets revolved around something.

Grain is pored into a silo to be stored for later use. Due to the friction between pieces of grain as they rub against eachother
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

3.1×10⁻¹¹ N

Explanation:

Use Coulomb's law:

F = k q₁ q₂ / r²

F = (9×10⁹) (6.0×10⁻¹⁰) (2.3×10⁻¹⁵) / (0.02 m)²

F = 3.1×10⁻¹¹

A 615 N student standing on a scale in an elevator notices that the scale reads 645 N. From this information, the student knows
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

The elevator must be moving upward.

Explanation:

During the motion of an elevator, the weight of the person deviates from his or her actual weight. This temporary weight during the motion is referred to as "Apparent Weight". So, when the elevator is moving downward, the apparent weight of the person becomes less than his or her actual weight.

On the other hand, for the upward motion of the elevator, the apparent weight of the person becomes more than the actual weight of that person.

Since the apparent weight (645 N) of the student, in this case, is greater than the actual weight (615 N) of the student.

<u>Therefore, the elevator must be moving upward.</u>
