Discuss why Wolpert says we have a brain.

ycow [4]

Answer:

“We have a brain for one reason and one reason only, and that's to produce adaptable and complex movements,” stated Wolpert, Director of the Computational and Biological Learning Lab at the University of Cambridge. ... The evidence for this is in how well we've learned to mimic our movements using computers and robots.

A finch rides on the back of a Galapagos tortoise, which walks at the stately pace of 0.060 m/s. After 1.1 minutes, the finch ti

Romashka [77]

Answer:

Average Speed = 6.37 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed is simply given by the following formula:

Average Speed = Total Distance Traveled/Total Time Spent

here,

Total Time Spent = 1.1 min + 1.5 min = (2.6 min)(60 s/min) = 156 s

Now, for total distance, we have to calculate the distance traveled on tortoise and distance traveled while flying, separately. Therefore,

Distance Traveled on Tortoise = (Time spent on Tortoise)(Speed of Tortoise)

Distance Traveled on Tortoise = (1.1 min)(60 s/min)(0.06 m/s) = 3.96 m

Similarly,

Flying Distance = (Flying Time)(Flying Speed) = (1.5 min)(60 s/min)(11 m/s)

Flying Distance = 990 m

Since, total distance is the sum of both distances, therefore,

Total Distance = 3.96 m + 990 m = 993.96 m

Now, using the values in equation of average speed, we get:

Average Speed = 993.96 m/156 s

<u>Average Speed = 6.37 m/s</u>

A powerful motorcycle can produce an acceleration of 3.00 m/s2 while traveling at 106.0 km/h. At that speed, the forces resistin

otez555 [7]

Answer:

"1155 N" is the appropriate solution.

Explanation:

Given:

Acceleration,

$a=3 \ m/s^2$

Forces resisting motion,

$F_f=432 \ N$

Mass,

$m = 241 \ kg$

By using Newton's second law, we get

⇒ $F-F_f=ma$

Or,

⇒ $F=ma+F_f$

By putting the values, we get

⇒ $=(3\times 241)+432$

⇒ $=723+432$

⇒ $=1155 \ N$

yaroslaw [1]

Answer: Electromagnetic radiation

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiation is a combination of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, which propagate through space carrying energy from one place to another.

To understand it better:

This radiation is spread thanks to the electromagnetic fields produced by moving electric charges and their sources can be natural or man-made.

It should be noted that the energy of electromagnetic radiation can vary and depending on its frequency it can be useful for various situations.

A man starts walking north at 3 ft/s from a point P. Five minutes later a woman starts walking south at 4 ft/s from a point 500

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

ds/dt = 6.98 ft/s

Explanation:

Given:

- The speed of man due north Vm = 3 ft/s

- The speed of woman due south Vw = 4 ft/s

- Woman starts walking 5 mins later than man

Find:

At what rate are the people moving apart 15 min after the woman starts walking?

Solution:

- The total time for which the man is walking due north from P, is Tm:

Tm = 5 + 15 = 20 mins

- The total distance traveled by man in Tm mins is:

Dm = Tm*Vm

Dm = 20*60*3

Dm = 3,600 ft

- The total time for which the woman is walking due south from 500 ft due east from P, is Tw:

Tw = 15 = 15 mins

- The total distance traveled by man in Tw mins is:

Dw = Tw*Vw

Dw = 15*60*4

Dw = 3,600 ft

- The displacement between man and woman at any instance is (s) which can be related by pythagoras theorem as follows:

s^2 = (dm + dw)^2 + 500^2

Where, dm : Distance travelled by man at any time Tm

dw : Distance travelled by woman at any time Tw

- Differentiate s with respect to t:

2s*ds/dt = 2*(dm + dw)*(Vm + Vw)

s*ds/dt = (dm + dw)*(Vm + Vw)

ds/dt = [ (dm + dw)*(Vm + Vw) ] / s

- Evaluate the rate of separation of man and woman ds/dt by evaluating at instance Tm = 20 mins and Tw = 15 mins. We have:

ds/dt = [ (Dm + Dw)*(Vm + Vw) ] / sqrt ( (Dm + Dw)^2 + 500^2 )

- Plug in the values:

ds/dt = [ (3600 + 3600)*(3 + 4) ] / [sqrt ( (3600 + 3600)^2 + 500^2 )]

ds/dt = 6.98 ft/s
