Estimated by the observer.

Take a buret, you can read to the 0.1 mL directly from the device, but the amount may lie between the 0.1 marks so you can estimate how far between the marks the fluid lies.

Example: What power of spectacle lens is needed to correct the vision of a nearsighted person
Aleksandr [31]
<h3>Concave or diverging lens is needed correct the vision of a nearsighted person  whose far point is 30.0 cm</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Nearsighted person will not be able to see the distant objects clearly

Now, we want the near sighted person to see the distant objects clearly

<em><u>The lens equation is given as:</u></em>

P = \frac{1}{d_o} + \frac{1}{d_i}

For distant vision, d_0 = \infty

d_i = image\ distance\\\\d_0 = lens\ to\ retina\ distance

The image of 30 cm from eye will be 28.5 cm to left of spectacle lens

Therefore,

d_i = -28.5\ cm = 0.285\ meter

From lens equation,

P = \frac{1}{ \infty } + \frac{1}{-0.285\ meter}\\\\P = 0 - 3.51 \\\\P = -3.51\ diopter

The negative power -3.51 D denotes that a concave or diverging lens is needed

A theory in science is ________.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

It would be (a)

Explanation:

A theory is something that can be proved through rigorous and repeated experimentation, while choice (b) sounds tempting i believe it fails at the fact that it says that a theory is an "agreement", sure an agreement could be reached by while trained scientists but that does not necessarily mean that what the scientists agree upon is rigorously tested and repeatable, and so therefore cannot be assumed

That is what I think

Hope this helps :)

A train takes ms eaddy 200 miles north and 150 miles south. The total trip took 3.5 hours what was the average velocity of the t
Verizon [17]
The whole point of this problem is to check how well you understand
the definitions of a few important quantities, like velocity, speed, distance,
displacement etc.

Before we begin, I just want to mention that 'MPG' is not a unit of either
velocity or speed, but I think I know what you mean.

-- For some reason, Ms. Eaddy rode 100 miles north on the train, then
stayed aboard while the train turned around and took her 150 miles south.
The total distance she rode was (100 + 150) = 250 miles.  But she ended up
50 miles south of where she began.

-- Displacement for the whole trip = distance and direction from the start point
to the finish point.

Displacement = 50 miles south

-- Average velocity = (displacement) / (time)

50 miles south / 3.5 hours = <u>14.29 miles per hour south</u>

Hi please help with this question! Need the workings.

<span>Mass of the copper penny m = 2.6 g Atomic mass of copper = 63.55, Atomic number = 29, So the number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number = 63 - 29 = 34 a. Neutron mass = 34 x (2.6 / 63.55) = 1.4 grams Copper atoms per mole = 6.040 x 10^23 atoms/mol moles of copper = 2.6 / 63.06 = 0.04123 mol Total atoms in the copper = 6.040 x 10^23 atoms/mol x 0.04123 mol = 0.25 x 10^23 atoms Number of electrons in the copper = 29 per atom Mass of the electron = 9.085 x 10^-28 g b. Electron mass = 0.25 x 10^23 x 29 x 9.085 x 10^-28 = 65.86 x 10^-5 g</span>
