This phenomenon is called refraction of light waves.

In our lab experiment on Ohm's law, the power supply is connected to a circuit containing one resistor, and a direct current of
lapo4ka [179]

Answer: (A) 3.0=A

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the OHM law, given by: V=R*I

Besides, we have to consider the resitance equivalent for a parallel connection. This is given by:

1/Re=1/R1+1/R2

If we connect the same resistance, the equivalent resistance is R/2.

Initlally  the current is 1.5 A when one resistance is connected to the batttery. When a second resistance with the same value is connected in parallel to the battery, we have V=Re*Ifinal= (R/2)*Ifinal

also we know that V=R*Iinitial so Iinitial=V/R

then Ifinal= 2*V/R=2*Iinitial

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

a=4.44\frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

First we have to find the time required for train to travel 60 meters and impact the car, this is an uniform linear motion:

t=\frac{d}{v}\\\\t=\frac{60m}{30\frac{m}{s}}=2s

The reaction time of the driver before starting to accelerate was 0.50 seconds. So, remaining time for driver is 1.5 seconds.

Now, we have to calculate the distance traveled for the driver in this 0.5 seconds before he start to accelerate. Again, is an uniform linear motion:

d=vt\\d=20\frac{m}{s}(0.5s)=10m

The driver cover 10 meters in this 0.5 seconds. So, the remaining distance to be cover in 1.5 seconds by the driver are 35 meters. We calculate the minimum acceleration required by the car in order to cross the tracks before the train arrive, Since this is an uniformly accelerated motion, we use the following equation:

d=v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\a=\frac{2(d-v_0t)}{t^2}\\a=\frac{2(35m-20\frac{m}{s}*1.5s}{(1.5s)^2}\\a=4.44\frac{m}{s^2}

What does each system help you do?
Maru [420]

Explanation:

1.The somatic nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of body movements via skeletal muscles. 

2. The autonomic nervous system is a control system that acts largely unconsciously and regulates bodily functions, such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination, ect...

3. Sympathetic Division is a term used by researchers and medical practitioners to describe the subdivision of the autonomic nervous system (that controls involuntary and automatic physical reactions) that responds to emergency situations by mobilizing and controlling the energy necessary to cope with the situation.

4. The part of the autonomic nervous system that tends to act in opposition to the sympathetic nervous system, as by slowing down the heart and dilating the blood vessels. It also regulates the function of many glands, such as those that produce tears and saliva.

5. a regulatory substance produced in an organism and transported in tissue fluids such as blood or sap to stimulate specific cells or tissues into action.

Which three quantities can be used to calculate acceleration?
PtichkaEL [24]
D is the correct answer, assuming that this is the special case of classical kinematics at constant acceleration. You can use the equation V = Vo + at, where Vo is the initial velocity, V is the final velocity, and t is the time elapsed. In D, all three of these values are given, so you simply solve for a, the acceleration.
A and C are clearly incorrect, as mass and force (in terms of projectile motion) have no effect on an object's motion. B is incorrect because it is not useful to know the position or distance traveled, unless it will help you find displacement. Even then, you would not have enough information to use a kinematics equation to find a.
