The eyepiece of a light microscope has a magnification level of 10x. If you were looking at a paramecium under the lowest-power

tester [92]

Answer:

The total magnification will be 40x.

Explanation:

As we know if the magnification of the eyepiece of a microscope be $m_{e}$ and that of the objective be $m_{o}$ , then the total magnification is given by

$m = m_{e} \times m_{o}$

Given, $m_{e} = 10x$ and $m_{o} = 4x$

Therefore total magnification is $m = 10 \times 4 = 40x$

Define habitat preservation and give at least two examples.

lisov135 [29]

Habitat preservation is when people get together or just one person helps to stop the end of a living space for animals such as the monterey aquarium the help sea life by doing research to see why animals are dying and do what they can to stop it. another one if nation parks or forests you are not allowed to harm them in any way they are protected by laws(the government)

A water skier lets go of the tow rope upon leaving the end ofa

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

1.35m

Explanation:

At the highest point of the jump, the vertical speed of the skier should be 0. So the 13m/s speed is horizontal, this speed stays the same from the jumping point to the highest point. The 14m/s speed at jumping point is the combination of both vertical and horizontal speeds.

The vertical speed at the jumping point can be computed:

$v_v^2 + v_h^2 = v^2$

$v_v^2 + 13^2 = 14^2$

$v_v^2 = 196 - 169 = 27$

$v_v = \sqrt{27} = 5.2 m/s$

When the skier jumps to the its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy:

$E_p = E_k$

$mgh = mv_v^2/2$

where m is the skier mass and h is the vertical distance traveled, $v_v$ is the vertical velocity at jumping point, and h is the highest point.

Let g = 10m/s2

We can divide both sides of the equation by m:

$gh = v_v^2/2$

$h = \frac{v_v^2}{2g} = \frac{27}{2*10} = 1.35 m$

Assuming that the cost of 16-gauge steel sheet metal is $25.00 per square meter, what is the ideal radius and height of a cylind

Anton [14]

Answer: Radius = 32.7 cm and height = 65.5 cm

Explanation:

An oil drum must have a volume of 218 liters or 218*1000cm^3 = 218,000 cm^3

The price is per square meter, so if we reduce the surface of the oil drum, we will pay less:

So we want to play with the measures of the oil drum in such a way that the surface is minimized.

Now, first, the volume of the oil drum (a cylinder) is:

V = pi*r^2*h

where pi = 3.14, r is the radius and h is the height.

and the surface is:

S = 2*pi*r^2 + 2*pi*r*h

we know that:

pi*r^2*h = 218,000 cm^3

r^2*h = 218,000cm^3/3.14 = 70,096.5 cm^3

now we can write

h = 70,096.5 cm^3/r^2

now we can replace it in the surface equation:

S = 2*pi*r^2 + 2*pi*r*h

= 6.28*(r^2 + 70,096.5 cm^3/r)

So we want to minimize this, we can derivate it and find the zero:

S' = 6.28(2*r - 70,096.5 cm^3/r^2) = 0

2r = 70,096.5 cm^3/r^2

r^3 = (70,096.5 cm^3)/2

r = ∛( (70,096.5 cm^3)/2 ) = 32.7cm

And then the height is:

h = 70,096.5 cm^3/r^2 = 70,096.5 cm^3/(32.7cm)^2 = 65.5cm
