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

Using the interactive map, available at ejatlas.org, identify two separate environmental justice issues ongoing anywhere in the

NeTakaya

Answer:

Explanation:

1) The specific issue is the emission of the CO2 gases into the atmosphere and conflicts over coal extraction as leaving the oil in the soil.

2)Land acquisition conflicts and the Agro fuels industries and biomass energy plants are causing more environmental problems.

EJOCT project is meant for considering the causes of climate debt and ecological debt and designed many projects under the clean development mechanism allowing rich countries to offset their emissions by reducing emissions.

Large parts of the global justice movement united around a push for the concept of climate debt in copenhagen climate summit.In the people's summit in Bolivia in 2010, climate debt was considered as the over consumption of the Earth's atmosphere and climate system to absorb green house gases by the developed countries. The map shows the spatial mal distribution of climate change sources and its impacts.

Yes the methods the Summits are taking are correct and can reduce the emission of CO2 gases. The methods they were implementing are supportable to the environment.If the people follow those methods the climate debt can be minimised.I have taken this topic as the emission of CO2 gases is the main problem all the world.Due to this the melting of Ice and Global warming are occuring.This was the main problem to solve all over the world as the no. of Industries and vehicles and population is increasing.These movements are an appropriate way to change and improve the environment in which people have to live.

Listed following are the names and mirror diameters for six of the world’s greatest reflecting telescopes used to gather visible

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Large binocular telescope, Keck 1 telescope, Hobby-Ebberly telescope, Subaru telescope, Gemini North telescope, Magellan 2 telescope

Explanation:

How much light a telescope can collect depends on its diameter, since in a bigger area more photons will be collected.

Remember that in a circle the area is defined as:

$A = \pi r^{2}$ (1)

Where A is the area and r is its radius.

However, the radius can be determined by means of its diameter.

$d = 2r$

$r = \frac{d}{2}$ (1)

Where d is its diameter.

An example of this is when a person is collecting raindrops with a bucket and with a cup. Since the bucket has a bigger area than the cup, it will collect more raindrops by unit of time. In this scenario the raindrops represent the photons.

To determine the light collecting area of each telescope, equation 2 will be replaced in equation 1.

$A = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2}$ (3)

Case for Large binocular telescope:

$A_{mirror1} = \pi (\frac{8.4m}{2})^{2}$

$A_{mirror1} = 55.41m$

For the second mirror will be the same value

$A = A_{mirror1}+A_{mirror2}$

$A = 55.41m+55.41m$

$A= 110.82m$

Case for Keck 1 telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{10m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 78.53m$

Case for Hobby-Ebberly telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{9.2m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 66.47m$

Case for Subaru telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{8.3m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 54.10m$

Case for Gemini North telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{8m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 50.26m$

Case for Magellan 2 telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{6.5m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 33.18m$

Hence, they may be rank in the following way:

Large binocular telescope, Keck 1 telescope, Hobby-Ebberly telescope, Subaru telescope, Gemini North telescope, Magellan 2 telescope.
