Answer:

Getting rid of outdated information from the brain.

Explanation:

In the brain, storing and losing memory are two important things in selecting and holding relevant information. Forgetting is a way of dealing with unneeded information in the brain thus absent minded individuals have an improved brain flexibility because their brain removes unwanted and unnecessary information regularly.

In a ballistics test, a 24 g bullet traveling horizontally at 1200 m/s goes through a 31-cm-thick 320 kg stationary target and e

Zanzabum

Answer:

The velocity is $v_t = 0.02175 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the bullet is $m_b = 0.024 \ kg$

The initial speed of the bullet is $u_b = 1200 \ m/s$

The mass of the target is $m_t = 320 \ kg$

The initial velocity of target is $u_t = 0 \ m/s$

The final velocity of the bullet is is $v_b = 910 \ m/s$

Generally according to the law of momentum conservation we have that

$m_b * u_b + m_t * u_t = m_b * v_b + m_t * v_t$

=> $0.024 * 1200 + 320 * 0 = 0.024 * 910 + 320 * v_t$

=> $v_t = 0.02175 \ m/s$

What is the escape speed of an electron launched from the surface of a 1.1-cm-diameter glass sphere that has been charged to 8.0

zimovet [89]

At surface,
v = kq/r

And potential energy of an electron is given by,
PE = -ev = -ekq/r

At escape velocity,
PE + KE = 0.
Therefore,
1/2mv^2 - ekq/r =0
1/2mv^2 = ekq/r
v = Sqrt [2ekq/mr], where v = escape velocity, e = 1.6*10^-19 C, k = 8.99*10^9 Nm^2/C^2, m = 9.11*10^-31 kg, r = 1.1*10^-2 m, q = 8*10^-9 C

Substituting;
v = Sqrt [(2*1.6*19^-19*8.99*10^9*8*10^-9)/(9.11*10^-31*1.1*10^-2)] = 47949357.23 m/s ≈ 4.795 *10^7 m/s

A 250 g block of ice is removed from the refrigerator at -8.0°C. How much thermal energy does the ice absorb as it warms to room

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Q = 114895 J

Explanation:

To find the thermal energy gained by the ice you use the following formula:

$Q=mc(T_2-T_1)+H_f\ m$

m: mass of the ice = 0.250kg

T2: final temperature = 22°C

T1: initial temperature = -8.0°C

Hf: heat of fusion of water = 3.34*10^5 J/kg

c: specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg

By replacing the values of the parameters you have:

$Q=(0.250kg)(4186J/kg\°C)(22+8)\°C+(3.34*10^5 J/kg)(0.250kg)\\\\Q=114895\ J$

where you have considered that ice melts completely
