Answer:

Option 3: -48 cm

Explanation:

We are given:

refractive index; n = 1.5

radius of curvature; r2 = 24 cm

Formula for the focal length is given as;

1/f = (n - 1) × [(1/r1) - (1/r2)]

As r1 tends to infinity, 1/r1 = 0

Thus,we now have;

1/f = (n - 1) × (-1/r2)

Plugging in the relevant values;

1/f = (1.5 - 1) × (-1/24)

1/f = -0.02083333333

f = -1/0.02083333333

f = -48 cm

In order to convert sunlight energy into usable energy the cell needs

Anestetic [448]

Cells do not use the energy from oxidation reactions as soon as it is released. Instead, they convert it into small, energy-rich molecules such as ATP and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), which can be used throughout the cell to power metabolism and construct new cellular components.

A 4.5 g coin sliding to the right at 23.8 cm/s makes an elastic head-on collision with a 13.5 g coin that is initially at rest.

Airida [17]

Answer:

a) $v = 11.9\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s} \,(11.9\,\frac{cm}{s} )$ , b) $\Delta K = 9.559\times 10^{-5}\,J$

Explanation:

a) The final velocity of the 13.5 g coin is found by the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

$(4.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot (23.8\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s} )+(13.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg})\cdot (0\,\frac{m}{s} ) = (4.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot (-11.9\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s} )+(13.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg})\cdot v$

The final velocity is:

$v = 11.9\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s} \,(11.9\,\frac{cm}{s} )$

b) The change in the kinetic energy of the 13.5 g coin is:

$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (13.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot \left[(11.9\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}-(0\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}\right]$

$\Delta K = 9.559\times 10^{-5}\,J$

Which of the following is an abiotic limiting factor for a plant population in an ecosystem?

Ludmilka [50]

Correct answer is Availability of soil minerals.

There are two types of limiting factors that affect plant population in a ecosystem. They are:

Biotic
Abiotic

Biotic factors includes food, diseases etc. Such as Invasive weed species, seed dispersal by wind, disease-causing fungal spores are examples of biotic limiting factor.

Abiotic factors include sunlight, temperature and chemical environment. The availability of soil mineral is an example of abiotic limiting factor. Growth of plant population depends on availability of soil minerals.

For the electric power transmission system shown in the figure above, what is the ratio ns/np for the step-up transformer? assum

Ann [662]

I am attaching the missing figure

If we assume 100% efficiency, this means that the input power of the transformer must be equal to the output power

We divide output/input

240,000/12,000 = 20

This means that the transformer has a turns ratio of 1:20

<span>ns/np = 20/1 = 20

The voltage is amplified 20 times by the transformer, but this also means that the current decreases by a factor of 20, so the total power remains the same.</span>
