Answer: Higher up, in the stratosphere, the ozone layer absorbs solar ultra-violet radiation and affects how much of the Sun's heat is radiated back into space. The ozone layer shields us from the harmful effects of excessive UV radiation, which can lead to sunburn, skin cancer and eye damage.

Explanation: hope this helped :]

When you changed from low to high power, how did the change affect the working distance of the lens?
Basile [38]

The working distance gets shorter as the magnification gets bigger. In order to focus, the high-power objective lens must be significantly nearer to the specimen than the low-power lens. Magnification is negatively correlated with working distance.

Magnification change The magnification of a specimen is increased by switching from low power to high power. The magnification of an image is determined by multiplying the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the ocular lens, or eyepiece.

The geometry of the optical system connects the magnifying power, or how much the thing being observed seems expanded, and the field of view, or the size of the object that can be seen.

How does the angular diameter of an object change as you move away from the object?
7nadin3 [17]

Explanation :

Angular diameter of a sphere or a circle shows how large a sphere or a circle appears from a given point. It is the angle between the initial and final positions.

The angular diameter of a given sphere or a circle is given by :

             \delta =2arc\ tan\dfrac{d}{2D}

where \delta is angular displacement

d is actual diameter of object

D is distance to the center of sphere

So, angular displacement is inversely proportional to the distance from the object.

<em>Hence, as we move away from the object the angular diameter of an object gets smaller.</em>

A 200 kg boulder is 1000m above the ground. What is the speed of the object right before it hits the ground?
dem82 [27]

Answer:

140.07m/s

Explanation:

we use the equation for the final speed:

v_{f}^2=v_{0}^2+2gh

where v_{f} is the final speed, v_{0} is the initial speed, g is the gravitational acceleration (g=9.81m/s^2) and h is the height.

In this case we don't have an initial velocity indicated so: v_{0}=0, and we are told that the boulder is at a height: h=1,000m.

We substitute this values into the equation:

v_{f}^2=2gh\\v_{f}^2=2(9.81m/s^2)(1,000m)\\v_{f} ^2=19,620m^2/s^2\\\\v_{f}=\sqrt{19,620m^2/s^2} \\v_{f}=140.07m/s

the speed of the object right before it hits the ground is 140.07m/s
