Answer:

Robert Hooke

Was the first to use the word "cell"

Observed cork cells

Anton van Leeuwenhoek

Observed "animalcules"

Used polished lens .

Explanation:

Anton van Leeuwenhoek is known as father of microbiology. He is credited to improve the quality of lens in microscope. His first observation of organisms called animalcules.

He is credited to have build microscope that could get magnified by 200 times. He used word animalcules for small organisms from pond water when first observed in microscope. He discovered protozoa and named it animalcules".

Robert Hooke is famed for discovering cell from a cork of plant. He observed a compartment or honey comb like divisions when observed these cork cells under the microscope and named it cell. He was only able to see the cell wall as the cork cells are dead cells.

A spaceship of frontal area 10 m2 moves through a large dust cloud with a speed of 1 x 106 m/s. The mass density of the dust is

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The decelerating force is $3\times 10^{- 11}\ N$

Solution:

As per the question:

Frontal Area, A = $10\ m^{2}$

Speed of the spaceship, v = $1\times 10^{6}\ m/s$

Mass density of dust, $\rho_{d} = 3\times 10^{- 18}\ kg/m^{3}$

Now, to calculate the average decelerating force exerted by the particle:

$Mass,\ m = \rho_{d}V$ (1)

Volume, $V = A\times v\times t$

Thus substituting the value of volume, V in eqn (1):

$m = \rho_{d}(Avt)$

where

A = Area

v = velocity

t = time

$m = \rho_{d}(A\times v\times t)$ (2)

$Momentum,\ p = \rho_{d}(Avt)v = \rho_{d}Av^{2}t$

From Newton's second law of motion:

$F = \frac{dp}{dt}$

Thus differentiating w.r.t time 't':

$F_{avg} = \frac{d}{dt}(\rho_{d}Av^{2}t) = \rho_{d}Av^{2}$

where

$F_{avg}$ = average decelerating force of the particle

Now, substituting suitable values in the above eqn:

$F_{avg} = 3\times 10^{- 18}\times 10\times 1\times 10^{6} = 3\times 10^{- 11}\ N$

2. A pebble is dropped down a well and hits the water 1.5 s later. Using the equations for motion with constant acceleration, de

kow [346]

Answer:

S = 11.025 m

Explanation:

Given,

The time taken by the pebble to hit the water surface is, t = 1.5 s

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Using the II equations of motion

S = ut + 1/2 gt²

Here u is the initial velocity of the pebble. Since it is free-fall, the initial velocity

u = 0

Therefore, the equation becomes

S = 1/2 gt²

Substituting the given values in the above equation

S = 0.5 x 9.8 x 1.5²

= 11.025 m

Hence, the distance from the edge of the well to the water's surface is, S = 11.025 m

Answer:

a. directive zoning

Explanation:

Directive zoning is an instrument used in master plans, whereby the city is divided into areas on which differentiated land use and land use guidelines apply, especially urban indexes. Directive zoning acts primarily by controlling two main elements: the use and size (or size) of lots and buildings. It is therefore assumed that the end result achieved through individual actions is in line with the municipality's objectives, which include proportionality between occupation and infrastructure, the need to protect fragile areas and / or cultural interest, the harmony from the volumetric point of view, etc.
