This is an example of the phi phenomenon. This is an optical illusion that occurs when a series of still images, in this case the flashing lights, are viewed in quick succession. This given the illusion of a continuous movement rather than discrete still images.

"A bridge, constructed of 11 beams of equal length L and negligible mass, supports an object of mass M.
fiasKO [112]
F_P  + F_Q = M g
F_P = M g - F_Q
Torque, or moment of force:
∑ M_P = 0
∑ M_P = M g L - F_Q · 3 L
0 = M g L - 3 F_Q L         / : L
0 = M g - 3 F_Q
3 F_Q = M g
F_Q = M g /3
Finally:
F_P = M g - M g/3
F_P = 4 M g / 3

A cat chases a mouse across a 1.2 m high table. The mouse steps out of the way, and the cat slides off the table and strikes the
Drupady [299]
The cat has two directions of motions:
The horizontal motion = Dx = 2.2 m
The vertical motion = Dy = -1.3 m (negative sign indicates that the cat is falling)
a = 9.8 m/sec^2
Vy = zero (since you are not moving up)

From the laws of motion:
<span>Dy = Vyt + 0.5ayt^2 
</span>-1.3 = 0(t) + 0.5(-9.8)t^2
<span>t = 0.52s
</span>
Then, again using the laws of motion (but for the horizontal direction this time)
Dx = Vxt 
<span>2.2 = Vx0.52 </span>
<span>Vx = 2.2/0.52 </span>
<span>= 4.23 m/s 
</span>
<span>Therefore the cat's speed when it slid off the table is 4.23 m/s horizontally.</span>

Gravitational force depends on the mass of an object.
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

sun, earth, capitol building, human, atom

Explanation:

Gravity is directly proportional to the size of an object. Therefore, the object with the most mass will have the greatest force of gravity. We know this from the equation. F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

A CAR ACCElerates FROM REST To
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

<u>666.6 kW</u>

Explanation:

<u>Power Formula</u>

  • Power = Force × Velocity

<u>Calculating Force</u>

  • F = ma
  • F = m(v - u / t) [From the equation v = u + at]
  • F = 2,000 (50/7.5)
  • F = 2,000 (20/3)
  • F = 40,000/3
  • F = 13333.3 N

<u>Solving for Power</u>

  • P = 13333.3 × 50
  • P = 666666.6 W
  • P = <u>666.6 kW</u>
