Answer:

Sensory transduction

Explanation:

The term sensory transduction refers to the conversion process where the sensory energy is converted in order to change the potential of a membrane.

In other words, it can defined as the process of energy conversion such that stimulus can be transmitted or received by the sensory receptors and the nervous system may initiate with the sensory receptors.

Transduction takes in all of the five receptors of the body. Thus skin is also one of the receptors and hence conversion of heat energy into impulses takes place with the help of thermo-sensory neuron.

Two coherent sources of radio waves, A and B, are 5.00 meters apart. Each source emits waves with wavelength 6.00 meters. Consid

Korolek [52]

Answer:

$z= 2.5 \ m$

$z = (1 \ m , 4 \ m )$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Their distance apart is $d = 5.00 \ m$

The wavelength of each source wave $\lambda = 6.0 \ m$

Let the distance from source A where the construct interference occurred be z

Generally the path difference for constructive interference is

$z - (d-z) = m \lambda$

Now given that we are considering just the straight line (i.e points along the line connecting the two sources ) then the order of the maxima m = 0

$z - (5-z) = 0$

=> $2 z - 5 = 0$

=> $z= 2.5 \ m$

Generally the path difference for destructive interference is

$|z-(d-z)| = (2m + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}$

=> $|2z - d |= (0 + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}$

=> $|2z - d| =\frac{\lambda}{2}$

substituting values

$|2z - 5| =\frac{6}{2}$

=> $z = \frac{5 \pm 3}{2}$

$z = \frac{5 + 3}{2}$

$z = 4\ m$

and

$z = \frac{ 5 -3 }{2}$

=> $z = 1 \ m$

=> $z = (1 \ m , 4 \ m )$

Answer:

Equal Densities

Explanation:

if the density of the object was greater than that of the liquid, it would sink to the bottom. if the density od the object was lesser than the liquid, it would float :)

The combination of an applied force and a friction force produces a constant total torque of 35.5 N · m on a wheel rotating abou

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

a) $I = 19.799\,kg\cdot m^{2}$ , b) $T = -3.405\,N\cdot m$ , c) $n_{T} \approx 54.842\,rev$

Explanation:

a) The net torque is:

$T = I\cdot \alpha$

Let assume a constant angular acceleration, which is:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega-\omega_{o}}{t}$

$\alpha = \frac{10.4\,\frac{rad}{s} - 0\,\frac{rad}{s} }{5.80\,s}$

$\alpha = 1.793\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

The moment of inertia of the wheel is:

$I = \frac{T}{\alpha}$

$I = \frac{35.5\,N\cdot m}{1.793\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} }$

$I = 19.799\,kg\cdot m^{2}$

b) The deceleration of the wheel is due to the friction force. The deceleration is:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega-\omega_{o}}{t}$

$\alpha = \frac{0\,\frac{rad}{s} - 10.4\,\frac{rad}{s}}{60.4\,s}$

$\alpha = - 0.172\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

The magnitude of the torque due to friction:

$T = (19.799\,kg\cdot m^{2})\cdot (-0.172\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} )$

$T = -3.405\,N\cdot m$

c) The total angular displacement is:

$\theta_{T} = \theta_{1} + \theta_{2}$

$\theta_{T} = \frac{(10.4\,\frac{rad}{s} )^{2}-(0\,\frac{rad}{s} )^{2}}{2\cdot (1.793\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} )} + \frac{(0\,\frac{rad}{s} )^{2}-(10.4\,\frac{rad}{s} )^{2}}{2\cdot (-0.172\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} )}$

$\theta_{T} = 344.580\,rad$

The total number of revolutions of the wheel is:

$n_{T} = \frac{\theta_{T}}{2\pi}$

$n_{T} = \frac{344.580\,rad}{2\pi}$

$n_{T} \approx 54.842\,rev$
