List and describe the main functions of the lobes and the human brain
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Each side of your brain contains four lobes. The frontal lobe is important for cognitive functions and control of voluntary movement or activity. The parietal lobe processes information about temperature, taste, touch and movement, while the occipital lobe is primarily responsible for vision.

A low orbit satellite at 100 km altitude had a camera that resolved a car location to within 0.3 meter. Find the minimum diamete
NeX [460]

Answer:

Minimum diameter of the camera lens is 22.4 cm

The focal length of the camera's lens is 300cm

Explanation:

y = Resolve distance = 0.3 m

h = Height of satellite = 100 km

λ = Wavelength = 550 nm

Angular resolution

tan\theta\approx \theta =\frac{y}{h}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{0.3}{100\times 10^3}=3\times 10^{-6}

From Rayleigh criteria

sin\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{\lambda}{sin\theta}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{550\times 10^{-9}}{sin3\times 10^{-6}}=0.2236\ m=22.4\ cm

Minimum diameter of the camera lens is 22.4 cm

Relation between resolvable feature, focal length and angular resolution

d=f\Delta \theta\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{d}{\Delta \theta}\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{9\times 10^{-6}}{3\times 10^{-6}}=3\ m=300\ cm

The focal length of the camera's lens is 300cm

A giant wall clock with diameter d rests vertically on the floor. The minute hand sticks out from the face of the clock, and its
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

d_{x}(t)=(D/2)cos(\frac{\pi}{30}*t)

Explanation:

We can try writing the equation of the horizontal component of the length of the minute hand in terms of distance and the angle, that depends of time in this particular case.

The x-component of the length of the minute hand is:

d_{x}(t)=dcos(\theta (t)) (1)

  • d is the length of the minute hand (d=D/2)
  • D is the diameter of the clock
  • t is the time (min)

Now, using the angular kinematic equations we can express the angle in term of angular velocity and time. As we know, the minute hand moves with a constant angular velocity, so we can use this equation:

\theta (t)=\omega *t (2)

Also we know, that the minute hand moves 90 degrees or π/2 rad in 15 min, so using the definition of angular velocity, we have:

\omega=\frac{\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}=\frac{\theta_{f}-\theta_{i}}{t_{f}-t{i}}=\frac{\pi/2-0}{15-0}=\frac{\pi}{30}

Now, let's put this value on (2)

\theta (t)=\frac{\pi}{30}*t

Finally the length x(t) of the shadow of the minute hand as a function of time t, will be:

d_{x}(t)=(D/2)cos(\frac{\pi}{30}*t)

I hope it helps you!

Two long, straight wires, one above the other, are separated by a distance 2a and are parallel to the x-axis. Let the be in the
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

field B = µ₀c I / 2πr

The field in the xy plane due to the fact that the two wires are perpendicular to the plane Bx and By are everywhere 0 on the plane.

a) Midway between, the Bz components cancel, so <0, 0, 0> T

b) Bz = µ₀ x I / 2πa + µ₀ x I / 2π(3a) = (µ₀ x I / 2π)(1/a + 1/3a)

Bz = (µ₀ x I / 2πr)(3/3a + 1/3a) = (µ₀x I / 2πr)(4 / 3a) = 2µ₀ x I / 3πa

c) By symmetry, Bz = -2µ₀ x I / 3πa (that is, down into the plane)

Example of nuclear fission and nuclear fusion​
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

In fission, energy is gained by splitting apart heavy atoms, for example uranium, into smaller atoms such as iodine, caesium, strontium, xenon and barium, to name just a few. However, fusion is combining light atoms, for example two hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium, to form the heavier helium.
