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:

Coarse adjustment knob
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.

Answer:

The gas pressure is: 1.55 atm.

Explanation:

We need to use the equation that relate the variables given at the exercise (pressure, temperature and volume) from the ideal gas law formula, when the mass is constant we can reduce the expretion $PV=nRT$ to $\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2} }$ solving to P2 we get: $\frac{P_{1}V_{1}T_{2}}{T_{1}V_{2}}=P_{2}$ replace the values $P_{2}=\frac{2.5*3*610}{9.5*310} =1.55(atm)$ .

5. Why are ceramics and plastics good insulators?

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Here

Explanation:

They don't have free electrons moving around (delocalised electrons) so they can't conduct heat and electricity which gives them a property of good insulators. The insulators stop us having an electric shock because they don't conduct electricity as we use them to insulate metal wires and other metallic things. can i have brainliest now pls!
