How does the eye and brain work together to give you perception of color

Physics

Answer:

The human eye and brain together translate light into color. Light receptors within the eye transmit messages to the brain, which produces the familiar sensations of color. ... Rather, the surface of an object reflects some colors and absorbs all the others. We perceive only the reflected colors.

A person on a cruise ship is doing laps on the promenade deck. On one portion of the track the person is moving north with a spe

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

T<u>he direction of motion</u> of the person relative to the water is <u>16.7° north of east.</u>

Why?

We can solve the problem by applying the Pitagorean Theorem, where the first speed (to the north) and the second speed (to the east) corresponds to two legs of the right triangle formed with them. (north and east directions are perpendicular each other)

We can calculate the angle that give the direction using the following formula:

$Tan(\alpha)=\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed}\\\\Tan(\alpha)^{-1}=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}\\\\\alpha=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}$

Now, substituting the given information we have:

$alpha=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}$

$\alpha =Tan(\frac{3.6\frac{m}{s} }{12\frac{m}{s} })^{-1}\\\\\alpha =Tan(0.3)^{-1}=16.69\°(North-East)=16.7\°(North-East)$

Hence, we have that <u>the direction of motion</u> of the person relative to the water is 16.7° north of east.

Have a nice day!

When Karl Kaveman adds chilled grog to his new granite mug, he removes 10.9 kJ of energy from the mug. If it has a mass of 625 g

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

3°C

Explanation:

We can that heat Q=m $c_p$ dT

Where m is the mass $c_p$ = specific heat capacity

dT = Temperature difference

here we have given m=625 g =.625 kg

specific heat of granite =0.79 J/(g-K) = 0.79 KJ/(kg-k)

$T_1$ =25°C

$T_2$ we have to find

we have also given Q=10.9 KJ

10.9=0.625×0.79×(25- $T_2$ )

25- $T_2$ =22

$T_2$ =3°C

A block of mass m is pushed a horizontal distance D from position A to position B, along a horizontal plane with friction coeffi

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The total work done by friction is -2 · μ · m · g · D

Explanation:

Hi there!

The work done by a force is calculated as follows:

W = F · d · cos θ

Where:

W = work.

F = force that does the work.

d = displacement.

θ = angle between the displacement and the force.

If the force is horizontal, as in this case, cos θ = 1

The friction force is calculated as follows:

Ffr = μ · m · g

Where:

μ = friction coefficient.

m = mass of the object.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

Then, in this case, the work done by friction when pushing the block from A to B will be:

W AB = -Ffr · D

W AB = - μ · m · g · D

Notice that the friction force is negative because it is opposite to the pushing force P.

When the block is pushed from B to A, the work done by friction will be:

W BA = Ffr · (-D)

W BA = -μ · m · g · D

Now, the displacement is negative and the friction force is positive (in the opposite direction to -P).

The total work done by friction will be:

W AB + W BA = - μ · m · g · D - μ · m · g · D = -2 μ · m · g · D

The volume occupied by a sample of gas is 480 mL when the pressure is 115 kPa.What pressure must be applied to the gas to make i

balandron [24]

Answer:

The answer is

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law to find the final pressure

That's

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

Since we are finding the final pressure

$P_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{V_2}$

From the question

P1 = 115 kPa

V1 = 480 mL

V2 = 650 ml

So we have

$P_2 = \frac{115000 \times 480}{650} = \frac{55200000}{650} \\ = 84923.076923...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
