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 ball moves at a constant speed of 1/2 meter per second. How much time does it take the ball to move 1 meter?
lesya [120]

Answer:

2 seconds

Explanation:

if a ball travels 1/2 meter per second, and there's 2 halfs in a whole, 1/2 meter per second x 2 halfs in a whole meter is 2 seconds to travel a meter

Solutions with ions that react with acids or bases to lessen their effects are fubrefs
Softa [21]

Answer:

Buffers

Explanation:

A buffer solution is a solution containing weak acids and their salts or weak bases and their salts.

A buffer solution is an equilibrium system that resists changes in pH or pOH when a small amount of an acid or base is added hence it is a solution of fairly constant pH value.

g Two long parallel wires are a center-to-center distance of 2.50 cm apart and carry equal anti-parallel currents of 2.70 A. Fin
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

864 mT

Explanation:

The magnetic field due to a long straight wire B = μ₀i/2πR where μ₀ = permeability of free space = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m, i = current in wire, and R = distance from center of wire to point of magnetic field.

The magnitude of magnetic field due to the first wire carrying current i = 2.70 A at distance R which is mid-point between the wires is B = μ₀i/2πR.

Since the other wire also carries the same current at distance R, the magnitude of the magnetic field is B = μ₀i/2πR.

The resultant magnetic field at B is B' = B + B = 2B = 2(μ₀i/2πR) = μ₀i/πR

Now R = 2.50 cm/2 = 1.25 cm = 1.25 × 10⁻² m and i = 2.70 A.

Substituting these into B' = μ₀i/πR, we have

B' = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m × 2.70 A/π(1.25 × 10⁻² m)

B = 10.8/1.25 × 10⁻⁵ T

B = 8.64 × 10⁻⁵ T

B = 864 × 10⁻³ T

B = 864 mT
