A geneticist looks through a microscope to determine the phenotype of a fruit fly. The microscope is set to an overall magnifica

tion of 400x with an objective lens that has a focal length of 0.60 cm. The distance between the eyepiece and objective lenses is 16 cm.
1) Find the focal length of the eyepiece lens assuming a near point of 25 cm (the closest an object can be and still be seen in focus). Do not neglect any values in your calculation. (Express your answer to two significant figures.)

Answer:

f_{e} = 1.7 cm

Explanation:

The magnification of the compound microscope is given by the product of the magnification of each lens

        M = M₀ m_{e}

        M = - L/f₀  25/f_{e}

Where f₀ and f_{e} are the focal lengths of the lens and eyepiece, respectively, all values ​​in centimeters

In this exercise they give us the magnification (M = 400X), the focal length of the lens (f₀ = 0.6 cm), the distance of the tube (L = 16 cm), let's look for the focal length of the eyepiece (f_{e})

         f_{e} = - L / f₀ 25 / M

Let's calculate

        f_{e} = - 16 / 0.6 25 / (-400)

        f_{e} = 1.67 cm

The minus sign in the magnification is because the image is inverted.

          f_{e} = 1.7 cm

uniform ladder of length 6.0 m and weight 300 N leans against a frictionless vertical wall. The foot of the ladder isplaced 3.0
olganol [36]

Answer:

Fx1 (6 m) sin 60 = 300 (3 m) cos 60  balancing torques about floor

Fx1 = 900 * 1/2 / 5.20 = 86.6 N  this is the horizontal force that must be supplied by the wall to balance torques about the floor

This is also equal to the static force of friction that must be applied at the point of contact with the floor to balance forces in the x-direction.

Fx1 = Fx2 = 86.6 N

A −3.0 nC charge is on the x-axis at x=−9 cm and a +4.0 nC charge is on the x-axis at x=16 cm. At what point or points on the y-
alexdok [17]

Answer:

y = 10.2 m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge, q_1=-3\ nC

It is placed at a distance of 9 cm at x axis

Charge, q_2=+4\ nC

It is placed at a distance of 16 cm at x axis

We need to find the point on the y-axis where the electric potential zero. The net potential on y-axis is equal to 0. So,

\dfrac{kq_1}{r_1}+\dfrac{kq_2}{r_2}=0

Here,

r_1=\sqrt{y^2+9^2} \\\\r_2=\sqrt{y^2+15^2}

So,

\dfrac{kq_1}{r_1}=-\dfrac{kq_2}{r_2}\\\\\dfrac{q_1}{r_1}=-\dfrac{q_2}{r_2}\\\\\dfrac{-3\ nC}{\sqrt{y^2+81} }=-\dfrac{4\ nC}{\sqrt{y^2+225} }\\\\3\times \sqrt{y^2+225}=4\times \sqrt{y^2+81}

Squaring both sides,

3\times \sqrt{y^2+225}=4\times \sqrt{y^2+81}\\\\9(y^2+225)=16\times (y^2+81)\\\\9y^2+2025=16y^2-+1296\\\\2025-1296=7y^2\\\\7y^2=729\\\\y=10.2\ m

So, at a distance of 10.2 m on the y axis the electric potential equals 0.
