Answer:

Explanation:

The two major defects of simple electric cells causes current supplied to be for short time. These defects are: polarization and local action.

a. Polarization: This is a defect caused by an accumulation of hydrogen bubbles at the positive electrode of the cell. It can be prevented by the use of vent, using a hydrogen absorbing material or the use of a depolarizer.

b. Local Action: This is the gradual wearing away of the electrode due to impurities in the zinc plate. It can be controlled by the amalgamation of the zinc plate before it is used.

Answer:

Explanation:

Until 2019, more than 3000 planetary systems have been discovered that contain more than 4000 exoplanets, since some of these systems contain multiple planets. Most known extrasolar planets are gas giants equal to or more massive than the planet Jupiter, with orbits very close to its star.

An 7.5 × binocular has 3.7-cm-focal-length eyepieces. What is the focal length of the objective lenses? Express your answer to t

elixir [45]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept of magnification, which is given as the relationship between the focal length of the eyepieces and the focal length of the objective. This relationship can be expressed mathematically as,

$\mu = \frac{f_0}{f_e}$

Here,

$\mu$ = Magnification

$f_e$ = Focal length eyepieces

$f_0$ = Focal length of the Objective

Rearranging to find the focal length of the objective

$f_0 = \mu f_e$

Replacing with our values

$f_0 = 7.5* 3.7cm$

$f_0 = 27.75cm$

Therefore the focal length of th eobjective lenses is 27.75cm

An object starts at rest. Its acceleration over 30 seconds is shown in the graph below:

ddd [48]

Answer:

The instantaneous speed of the object after the first five seconds is 12.5 m/s.

(C) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

An object starts at rest. Its acceleration over 30 seconds.

We need to calculate the instantaneous speed of the object after the first five seconds

We know that,

Area under the acceleration -time graph gives speed.

According to figure,

$speed = area\ of\ tringle$

$speed=\dfrac{1}{2}\times b\times h$

$speed =\dfrac{1}{2}\times5\times5$

$speed-12.5\ m/s$

Hence, The instantaneous speed of the object after the first five seconds is 12.5 m/s.

Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is divided into seven ranges of wavelengths and is the part visible to the human eye

oksano4ka [1.4K]

In one of the most amazing coincidences in all of science,
the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that's visible to the
human eye is called "visible light".

Visible light is not 'divided' into anything. We mention the names
to seven of the colors in visible light. But all of the thousands of
OTHER colors that we can see are in there too, even though we
don't bother to list their names when we buzz through the rainbow
in the third grade.
