The best answer is C."the brain interprets the size of the images"
Because, light reflects off the things in the world, then is focussed by our eye's lens. The light changes the light image we are seeing from the distal stimulus(or 3 diminutional world) to the proximal stimulus(or 2 dimensional world), but the image is not actually interpreted until it passes through the retina and optic nerve. The retina converts light into electrical impulses and the optic nerve carries those impulses to the brain. The Brain then changes the electrical impulses into a visual image.

Exactly the same way that you can photograph a mountain or a skyscraper
with the itty bitty camera in your smartphone.

Lenses are used to form a tiny image of a gigantic object.

bija089 [108]

Answer:

t=2s

Explanation:

The definition of power is:

P=\frac{W}{t}

And the work-energy theorem states that:

W=\Delta K

Since the movement starts from rest, we have that:

\Delta K=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_0^2}{2}=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}

And putting all together:

P=\frac{mv_f^2}{2t}

Since we want the time taken:

t=\frac{mv_f^2}{2P}

Which for our values is:

t=\frac{(120kg)(5m/s)^2}{2(746W)}=2s

The mass of a proton is approximately equal to
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

1.6726\cdot 10^{-27} kg

Explanation:

The three main particles that make an atom are:

- Proton: its mass is 1.6726\cdot 10^{-27} kg, it carries an electric charge of +e (e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C), and it is located in the nucles of the atom

- Neutron: its mass is 1.6749 \cdot 10^{-27}kg, it carries no electric charge, and it is also located in the nucleus of the atom

- Electron: its mass is 9.1094 \cdot 10^{-31}kg, it carries an electric charge of -e (e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C), and it is located outside the nucleus

Determine the volume displaced and then calculate the density of this 54 g sample of brass.
inessss [21]

Answer:

DETAILS IN THE QUESTION INSUFFICIENT TO ANSWER

Explanation:

Assuming the liquid to be water ,

the density d_{w} of water is : 1000kgm^{-3}=1gcm^{-3}

Buoyant force exerted by a liquid on an object with V_{imm} of it's volume immersed is :

F_{B}=V_{imm}*d_{l}*g

where ,

  • F_{B} is the buoyant force
  • d_{l} is the density of the liquid
  • g is the acceleration due to gravity

Thus at equilibrium:

m_{brass}*g=V_{imm}*d_{l}*g\\m_{brass}=V_{imm}*d_{l}\\54=V_{imm}*1\\V_{imm}=54cm^{3}

from these , we get the density of brass to be 1gcm^{-3}

which is not possible

A proton is released from rest at the origin in a uniform electric field that is directed in the positive xx direction with magn
elena-s [515]

Answer:

The change in potential energy is  \Delta  PE =  -  3.8*10^{-16} \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  magnitude of the uniform electric field  is  E =  950 \ N/C

      The  distance traveled by the electron is  x =  2.50 \ m

Generally the force on this electron is  mathematically represented as

     F =  qE

Where F is the force and  q is the charge on the electron which is  a constant value of  q =  1.60*10^{-19} \ C

    Thus  

      F  =  950  * 1.60 **10^{-19}

      F  = 1.52 *10^{-16} \ N

Generally the work energy theorem can be mathematically represented as

          W =  \Delta  KE

Where W is the workdone on the electron by the  Electric field and  \Delta  KE  is the change in kinetic energy

Also  workdone on the electron can also  be represented as

        W =  F* x  *cos(  \theta )

Where  \theta  =  0 ^o considering that the movement of the electron is along the x-axis  

        So

             \Delta  KE  =  F  * x  cos  (0)

substituting values

         \Delta  KE  =  1.52 *10^{-16}  * 2.50   cos  (0)

          \Delta  KE   =  3.8*10^{-16} J

Now From the law of energy conservation

       \Delta PE  =  -  \Delta  KE

Where \Delta  PE is the change  in  potential energy  

Thus  

        \Delta  PE =  -  3.8*10^{-16} \ J

Explain why materials such as plastic foam, feathers, and fur are poor conductors of heat.
vampirchik [111]
They are poor conductors because they keep the heat trapped in one spot, while other materials like metal let the heat go through itself.
