This is called the Phi Phenomenon.
This is an illusion of movement created when two or more adjacent lights blink on and off in quick succession; when two adjacent stationary lights blink on and off in quick succession; we perceive a single light moving back and forth between them. It is an optical illusion of perceiving a series of still images, when viewed in rapid succession, as continuous motion.

What is the net force required to give an automobile of mass 1600 kg an acceleration of 4.5 m/s2 ?
Svetach [21]
Net force is calculated using the equation

F=ma

where m is mass and a is acceleration.

So, F=(1600kg)(4.5m/s^2)
= 7200N

If a total of 1250 offspring were obtained from your cross, determine the number of offspring that you would expect to obtain th
irakobra [83]

Answer:

106 single crossover events

Explanation:

Total number of offspring = 1250

<u>Determine the number of offspring that would be expected </u>

( Rf between the genes vg and Pr ) * ( Total number of progeny )

  =   0.125 * 1250 ≈ 156 ( value for single and double crossovers )

next :

( value of the Rf of double crossovers ) * ( Total number of progeny )

= (0.322 * 0.125) = 0.04025  * 1250 = 50

Hence the number of offspring expected to obtain/represent a single crossover event between pr and vg

=  156 - 50 =  106

A driver travels northbound on a highway at a speed of 20.0 m/s. A police car, traveling southbound at a speed of 43.0 m/s, appr
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the velocity of observer the driver be V₀ and the velocity of police car the source bev_s. Let V be the velocity of sound in air.

The apparent  frequency f is given by the following relation

\frac{f}{F} = \frac{V+V_0}{V-V_s}

F is real frequency.

Now F = 2600,

V_0 = 20 ms^{-1} and\\\ V_s= 40ms^{-1}

Putting these values in the equation

\frac{f}{2600} = \frac{343+20}{343-43}

f = 3146 Hz.

b ) After the police passes , the sign of velocity of observer and source get reversed.

\frac{f}{2600} = \frac{343-20}{343+43}

f = 2175 Hz

c ) When the police car is also going northward and trying to overtaking the driver the frequency is calculated as follows .

\frac{f}{2600} = \frac{343-20}{343-43}

f = 2799 Hz

When the policy car already crosses the drives the frequency will be as follows

\frac{f}{2600} = \frac{343+20}{343+43}

f = 2445 Hz

The diver finds a rectangular aluminum plate having dimensions 1.0m x 2.0m x 0.03m. A hoisting cable is lowered from the ship an
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

(c)Tension = 162 N

(d) Increase

Explanation:

(c)

In order for the cable to lift the plate at uniform velocity, the tension in the cable must be equal to the weight of the plate.

Tension = Weight = (Density)(Volume)\\Tension = (2.7\ x 10^3\ kg/m^3)(1\ m)(2\ m)(0.03\ m)\\

<u>Tension = 162 N</u>

(d)

The tension with upward acceleration will become:

Tension = m(g+a)\\Tension = mg + ma\\Tension = Weight + ma\\

<u>Hence, the tension will increase by an amount equal to "ma".</u>
