A 17-car train standing on the siding is started in motion by the train’s engine. 9 cm slack is between each of the cars, which

are 9 m long. The engine is tightly connected to the first car and moves at a constant speed of 36 cm/s. How much time is required for the pulse to travel the length of the train? Answer in units of s.

Answer:

4 seconds

Explanation:

There are links between cars, they are in between

1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6, 6-7, 7-8, 8-9, 9-10, 10-11, 11-12, 12-13, 13-14, 14-15, 15-16, 16-17.

Here 1 represents the first car which is firmly attached to the engine. So, there are 16 links and each link has a slack of 9 m.

So, total slack

9×16 = 144 cm

Speed of train = 36 cm/s

\text{Time taken by the pulse}=\frac{Length}{speed}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time taken by the pulse}=\frac{144}{36}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time taken by the pulse}=4\ s

Time taken by the pulse to travel the length of train is 4 seconds.

A(n) ________ microscope keeps an object in focus when the objective lens is changed.
Anvisha [2.4K]

Parfocal is the term used to describe a microscope that maintains focus when the objective lenses are replaced.

<h3>What is the name of the objective lens ?</h3>

For observing minute features within a specimen sample, a high-powered objective lens, often known as a "high dry" lens, is perfect. You can see a very detailed image of the specimen on your slide thanks to the 400x total magnification that a high-power objective lens and a 10x eyepiece provide.

The four objective lenses on your microscope are for scanning (4x), low (10x), high (40x), and oil immersion (100x).

The first-stage lens used to create a picture from electrons leaving the specimen is referred to as the "objective lens." The objective lens is the most crucial component of the imaging system since the quality of the images is determined by how well it performs (resolution, contrast, etc.,).
