The first part of the microscope that should first be used to adjust the focus when starting with the lowest power lens would be the coarse adjustment knob.

There are two knobs in a typical light microscope with which objects on slides can be brought into focus:

  1. Coarse adjustment knob
  2. Fine adjustment knob

The 2 knobs are used to adjust the stage to either bring it up towards the objective lens or down away from them. The coarse adjustment knob, however, moves the stage a considerable distance with each turn. The fine adjustment knob, on the other hand, only moves the stage very little with each turn.

The lowest power lenses are often short. Hence, using the coarse adjustment knob is ideal in order to quickly bring objects on slides into focus.

The fine adjustment knob comes highly recommended at high objectives because high objectives lenses are usually long and using the coarse adjustment knob can lead to a breakage of the slide by the lens.

What is the distance covered by a Freely falling object 5 seconds after being dropped ? After 6 seconds?
mario62 [17]

This year is 60 years since I learned this stuff, and one of the things I always remembered is the formula for the distance a dropped object falls:

D = 1/2 A T²

Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time²)

The reason I never forgot it is because it's SO useful SO often.  You really should memorize it.  And don't bury it too deep in your toolbox ... you'll be needing it again very soon. (In fact, if you had learned it the first time you saw it, you could have solved this problem on your own today.)

The problem doesn't tell us what planet this is happening on, so let's make it easy and just assume it's on Earth.  Then the 'acceleration' is Earth gravity, and that's 9.8 m/s² .

In 5 seconds:

D = 1/2 A T²

D = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (5 sec)²

D = (4.9 m/s²) (25 sec²)

D = 122.5 meters


In 6 seconds:

D = 1/2 A T²

D = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (6 sec)²

D = (4.9 m/s²) (36 sec²)

D = 176 meters

Carrie is driving a car. Which factors determine the kinetic energy of her car<br> at this point
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The two main factors that affect kinetic energy are mass and speed.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy that is caused by the motion. The kinetic energy of an object is the energy or force that the object has due to its motion. Your moving vehicle has kinetic energy; as you increase your vehicle's speed, your vehicle's kinetic energy increases.

Have a great day! :D

1. write the meaning of the following terms:electrostatic,neutral, positively charged, negatively charged, coulomb,microcoulomb,
dybincka [34]

ELECTROSTATIC:

relating to stationary electric charges or fields as opposed to electric currents.

NEUTRAL:

nor negative nor positive/having no charge

POSITIVELY CHARGED:

positive charge occurs when the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons

NEGATIVELY CHARGED:

negative charge occurs when the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons.

COULOMB:

SI unit for electric charge. One coulomb is equal to the amount of charge from a current of one ampere flowing for one second.

MICROCOULOMB:

a unit of electrical charge equal to one millionth of a coulomb.

NANOCOULOMB:

Nanocoulombs are a unit of charge 1,000,000,000 times smaller than Coulomb.

CONSERVATION OF CHARGE:

constancy of the total electric charge in the universe or in any specific chemical or nuclear reaction

QUANTISATION OF CHARGE:

Charge quantization is the principle that the charge of any object is an integer multiple of the elementary charge.

A balloon filled with helium occupies 20.0 l at 1.50 atm and 25.0◦
bija089 [108]
At stp (standard temperature and pressure), the temperature is T=0 C=273 K and the pressure is p=1.00 atm. So we can use the ideal gas law to find the number of moles of helium:
pV=nRT
where p is the pressure (1.00 atm), V the volume (20.0 L), n the number of moles, T the temperature (273 K) and R=0.082 atm L K^{-1} mol^{-1} the gas constant. Using the numbers and re-arranging the formula, we can calculate n:
n= \frac{pV}{RT}= \frac{(1.00atm)(20.0L)}{(0.082 LatmK^{-1}mol^{-1})(273 K)}=0.89 mol
