Homework Statement A compound microscope consists of two converging lenses (the objective and the eyepiece) placed 7.0 cm apart. If the objective has a focal length of 2.8 mm and the eyepiece has a focal length of 3.3 cm, what would be the location of the final image of an object placed 3.0 mm...

Homework Statement Between trimethlysilylacetylene and methane, which is more acidic and why? Homework Equations No equations The Attempt at a Solution I believe the answer is trimethylsilylacetylene due to the location of the alpha proton being at the end of the alkynl group and with...

We did and I'm working on it and I think I'm on my way... At first I was so confused by the SHM because I had never seen it with any Young's mod problem but I am using Hooke's and Young's mod to find the actual stretch. I was able to isolate the k constant and I think maybe I can solve this

Homework Statement A 10 kg load suspended by a brass wire 10 m long is observed to vibrate vertically in SHM at a frequency of 10 vib/s. Given that the Young's modulus for brass is , what is the cross-sectional area of the wire? So we know: m = 10kg l = 10m f = 10Hz Y = 9x10^10 Homework...

Thanks for your patience and help. Man, I always thought I was okay with my unit conversions but the m-3 really messed me up. Again, thank you for sticking through with me in this process. I was so close to just giving up as I got so frustrated because it wasn't something difficult but it felt...

Wouldn't it just be 1.01x106?

Okay, I will continue to try and work this out. If each cm3 of space has 1.01 particles and we have 1 million cm3, that means I have 1,010,000 particles

I'm sorry, there is a disconnect here. I don't get it and all I am doing is spinning my wheels. I appreciate the attempt and patience at trying to help me with this but it's obvious I don't get it. I assume once the professor shows us the answer, I'll get it.

1.0x10^6cm^3

1.01x10^-6 but it isn't correct. Have you tried to solve it yet?

1m^3 has 1.0x10^6cm^3 I think I'm going in circles man...

Okay, I must be doing something wrong. 1cm = 1.0x10^-2 m 1cm^2 = 1x10^-4 m^2 1cm^3 = 1x10^-6 m^3 Is this not correct?

That's 1.0x10^-6 Because it's cm^-3, does that make change?

I've tried 1.01x10^2m^-3 and it was wrong as well

Homework Statement Deep in space, there is a particle density, p, is 1.01cm^-3. Pressure is extremely low, P, is 5.1 x 10^-17 N/m^2. What is the average temperature of mostly empty space? Answer in K Homework Equations T=P/pKb The Attempt at a Solution I plugged in...
