Answer:

The value is E =  1.35 *10^{14} \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of matter converted to energy on first test is  m  =  1 \  g  = 0.001 \  kg

    The mass of matter converted to energy on second test m_1 =  1.5 \  g = 1.5 *10^{-3} \ kg

    Generally the amount of energy that was released by  the explosion is  mathematically  represented as  

         E =  m * c^2

=>       E =  1.5 *10^{-3}  * [ 3.0 *10^{8}]^2

=>       E =  1.35 *10^{14} \ J

A compound microscope has an objective lens of focal length 1.40 cm and an eyepiece with a focal length of 2.20 cm. The objectiv
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

magnification is - 159

objective distance is 3.85 cm

Explanation:

Given data

focal length f1 = 1.40 cm

focal length f2 = 2.20 cm

separated d = 19.6 cm

to find out

angular magnification and How far from the objective

solution

we know magnification formula that is

magnification = ( - L / f1 ) (D/f2)

here D = 25 cm put all value

magnification = ( - 19.6 / 1.40 ) (25/2.20)

magnification = - 159

and

now we apply lens formula

i/f = 1/q + 1/p

p = f2 = 2.20

so

q = f2 p / p -f2

q = 1.4(2.20) / ( 2.2 - 1.4 )

q = 3.85 cm

so objective distance is 3.85 cm

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

I can only define a few of them, hope you don't mind.

Seismic- It means connected with or caused by earthquakes

Epicenter- It means the point on the earth's surface where the effects of an earthquake are most felt strongly.

Fault- A place where there is a break that is longer than usual in the layers of rock in the earth's crust.

Tectonic waves- Waves connected with the structure of the earth's surface.

Plate boundaries- The boundaries that differentiates the large sheets of rock (called PLATES) that form the earth's surface. Plate tectonics is the movement of the large sheets of rocks that form the earth's surface

Suppose you look at a detailed spectrum of visible light from some object. How can you decide whether it is an emission line spe
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

By observing the color of lines in the spectrum.

Explanation:

There are two types of lines in the spectrum explained below:

i) Bright lines: Bright lines occurs on the spectrum when atoms emit photons. These bright lines show the emission line spectrum.

ii) Dark Lines: Dark lines occurs on the spectrum when atoms absorb photons. These black lines show the absorption line spectrum.

Hence, by observing the color of lines it is possible to identify emission line spectrum and absorption line spectrum.
