1 answer:
Sveta_85 [38]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The ban was intended to prevent the imminent extinction of ospreys, peregrine falcons, and bald eagles, our national bird, among other species; they were vulnerable because DDT caused a fatal thinning of eggshells, which collapsed under the weight of the parent incubating them.

Explanation:

The hidden cost was to control pests was washing off into rivers and streams, poisoning fish, birds, and even humans with toxic chemicals.

On the way to school, Jed traveled 100m north, 300m east, 100 north, 100m east, and 100m north. A.) Find the total distance trav
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Total distance = 700 m

Displacement = 500 m

Explanation:

Notice that Jed travelled a total of 3 x 100 m = 300 m in the North direction, and 300 m + 100 m = 400 m in the East direction. Therefore the total distance he travelled is:  300 + 400 = 700 m.

But the actual displacement is given by the Pythagorean theorem as the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle of legs 300 m and 400 m:

displacement = \sqrt{300^2+400^2} =\sqrt{250000} =500\,m

the focal length of a simple magnifier is 8.50 cmcm . assume the magnifier to be a thin lens placed very close to the eye.
Igoryamba

When the object is at the focal point the angular magnification is 2.94.

Angular magnification:

The ratio of the angle subtended at the eye by the image formed by an optical instrument to that subtended at the eye by the object when not viewed through the instrument.

Here we have to find the angular magnification when the object is at the focal point.

Focal length = 6.00 cm

Formula to calculate angular magnification:

Angular magnification = 25/f

                                            = 25/ 8.5

                                             = 2.94

Therefore the angular magnification of this thin lens is 2.94
