Answer:

They developed a test for poisons in the human tissues

Explanation:

Around the 19th century, Mathieu Orfila and Robert Christison developed important tests that identified poisons in human tissues.

By so doing, they laid the foundation for what is now called forensic toxicology. This science attempts to identify poisons in human tissues especially by way of autopsies and forensic investigation.

Today forensic toxicology has expanded to include alcohol testing techniques as well as testing athletes for intake of performance enhancing substances.

forsale [732]

Answer:

Explanation:

L 1: front radius 950 mm, rear radius 2700 mm, refractive index 1.528;

We shall use lens maker's formula , that is

1/f = (μ-1) ( 1/R₁ - 1/R₂) , μ is refractive index of the lens , R₁ and R₂ are  radius of curvature of front and rear curved surface.

1/f₁ = (1.528-1)( 1/950 + 1/2700)

f₁ = 1331 mm

L2: front radius 535 mm, rear radius 500 mm, refractive index 1.550.

1/f₂ = (1.550-1)( 1/535 + 1/500)

f₂ = 470 mm

largest angular magnification possible

= f₁ /f₂

= 1331 / 470

= 2.83 ( approx )

Length between two lenses

=1331 +470

= 1801  mm

=  1.8 m Ans

A car accelerates from rest. It reaches a velocity of 25m/s in 10 seconds. What was the cars acceleration?
mixer [17]

Answer:

We are Given:

initial velocity (u) = 0m/s

final velocity (v) = 25 m/s

time (t) = 10 seconds

acceleration (a)  = a m/s/s

From the first equation of motion, we know that:

v = u + at

solving for a, we get:

a = (v-u) / t

now, plugging the given values in this equation

a = (25 - 0) / 10

a = 25 / 10

a = 2.5 m/s/s

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 2.5 m/s/s
