Answer: They distinguish black, white, and gray.

Explanation:

In the human eye (specifically in the retina) there are two types of photoreceptors that convert light into electrical messages that are sent to the optic nerve, and then the image information is forwarded  to the brain. These photoreceptors are the cones and the rods.

It should be noted that the rods are more numerous and sensitive than the cones, but they are not sensitive to color. This type of cells is responsible for peripheral vision and in a low light condition.

On the other hand, there are three types of cones:

-Those sensitive to red light

-Those sensitive blue light

-Those sensitive green light  

Then, according to the explanation given and the options shown, the only one that is not true is:

What orientation of velocity and acceleration will cause something to initially speed up?
Temka [501]
-- If acceleration and velocity are in the same direction,
then the object is speeding up.

-- If acceleration and velocity are in opposite directions,
then the object is slowing down.

-- If acceleration is perpendicular to velocity, then the object
is moving on a circular curve at constant speed.

(a) A load of coal is dropped (straight down) from a bunker into a railroad hopper car of inertia 3.0 × 104 kg coasting at 0.50
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

a) m=20000Kg

b) v=0.214m/s

Explanation:

We will separate the problem in 3 parts, part A when there were no coals on the car, part B when there is 1 coal on the car and part C when there are 2 coals on the car. Inertia is the mass in this case.

For each part, and since the coals are thrown vertically, the horizontal linear momentum p=mv must be conserved, that is, p=m_Av_A=m_Bv_B=m_Cv_C, were each velocity refers to the one of the car (with the eventual coals on it) for each part, and each mass the mass of the car (with the eventual coals on it) also for each part. We will write the mass of the hopper car as m_h, and the mass of the first and second coals as m_1 and m_2 respectively

We start with the transition between parts A and B, so we have:

m_Av_A=m_Bv_B

Which means

m_hv_A=(m_h+m_1)v_B

And since we want the mass of the first coal thrown (m_1) we do:

m_hv_A=m_hv_B+m_1v_B

m_hv_A-m_hv_B=m_1v_B

m_1=\frac{m_hv_A-m_hv_B}{v_B}=\frac{m_h(v_A-v_B)}{v_B}

Substituting values we obtain

m_1=\frac{(3\times10^4Kg)(0.5m/s-0.3m/s)}{0.3m/s}=20000Kg=2\times10^4Kg

For the transition between parts B and C, we can write:

m_Bv_B=m_Cv_C

Which means

(m_h+m_1)v_B=(m_h+m_1+m_2)v_C

Since we want the new final speed of the car (v_C) we do:

v_C=\frac{(m_h+m_1)v_B}{(m_h+m_1+m_2)}

Substituting values we obtain

v_C=\frac{(3\times10^4Kg+2\times10^4Kg)(0.3m/s)}{(3\times10^4Kg+2\times10^4Kg+2\times10^4Kg)}=0.214m/s
