Both rods and cones are sensitive to light. The difference between them is that the rods allow us to see in very dim light but don't permit detection of color, while the cones let us see color but they don't work in dim light. When it gets dark the cones lose their ability to respond to light

On a frictionless horizontal air table, puck A (with mass 0.254 kg ) is moving toward puck B (with mass 0.367 kg ), which is ini

Answer:

$v_a=0.8176 m/s$

$\Delta K=0.07969 J - 0.0849 J = -0.00521 J$

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of both pucks won't be changed regardless of their interaction if no external forces are acting on the system.

Being $m_a$ and $m_b$ the masses of pucks a and b respectively, the initial momentum of the system is

$M_1=m_av_a+m_bv_b$

Since b is initially at rest

$M_1=m_av_a$

After the collision and being $v'_a$ and $v'_b$ the respective velocities, the total momentum is

$M_2=m_av'_a+m_bv'_b$

Both momentums are equal, thus

$m_av_a=m_av'_a+m_bv'_b$

Solving for $v_a$

$v_a=\frac{m_av'_a+m_bv'_b}{m_a}$

$v_a=\frac{0.254Kg\times (-0.123 m/s)+0.367Kg (0.651m/s)}{0.254Kg}$

$v_a=0.8176 m/s$

The initial kinetic energy can be found as (provided puck b is at rest)

$K_1=\frac{1}{2}m_av_a^2$

$K_1=\frac{1}{2}(0.254Kg) (0.8176m/s)^2=0.0849 J$

The final kinetic energy is

$K_2=\frac{1}{2}m_av_a'^2+\frac{1}{2}m_bv_b'^2$

$K_2=\frac{1}{2}0.254Kg (-0.123m/s)^2+\frac{1}{2}0.367Kg (0.651m/s)^2=0.07969 J$

The change of kinetic energy is

$\Delta K=0.07969 J - 0.0849 J = -0.00521 J$

A cyclist has a constant speed of 12 m/s. What is the magnitude of the displacement of the cyclist after 18 seconds?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

216 m

Explanation:

Assuming a straight line:

Δx = vt

Δx = (12 m/s) (18 s)

Δx = 216 m

All ecosystems need and in order to survive.

Triss [41]

Answer:

An ecosystem is a community of living things and their non-living environment, and may be as large as a desert or as small as a puddle. An ecosystem must contain producers, consumers, decomposers, and dead and inorganic matter. All ecosystems require energy from an external source – this is usually the sun.
