Discuss why Wolpert says we have a brain.

ycow [4]

Answer:

“We have a brain for one reason and one reason only, and that's to produce adaptable and complex movements,” stated Wolpert, Director of the Computational and Biological Learning Lab at the University of Cambridge. ... The evidence for this is in how well we've learned to mimic our movements using computers and robots.

Assume that a satellite orbits mars 150km above its surface. Given that the mass of mars is 6.485 X 10^23kg, and the radius of m

Kisachek [45]

<span>3598 seconds The orbital period of a satellite is u=GM p = sqrt((4*pi/u)*a^3) Where p = period u = standard gravitational parameter which is GM (gravitational constant multiplied by planet mass). This is a much better figure to use than GM because we know u to a higher level of precision than we know either G or M. After all, we can calculate it from observations of satellites. To illustrate the difference, we know GM for Mars to within 7 significant figures. However, we only know G to within 4 digits. a = semi-major axis of orbit. Since we haven't been given u, but instead have been given the much more inferior value of M, let's calculate u from the gravitational constant and M. So u = 6.674x10^-11 m^3/(kg s^2) * 6.485x10^23 kg = 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2 The semi-major axis of the orbit is the altitude of the satellite plus the radius of the planet. So 150000 m + 3.396x10^6 m = 3.546x10^6 m Substitute the known values into the equation for the period. So p = sqrt((4 * pi / u) * a^3) p = sqrt((4 * 3.14159 / 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2) * (3.546x10^6 m)^3) p = sqrt((12.56636 / 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2) * 4.458782x10^19 m^3) p = sqrt(2.9034357x10^-13 s^2/m^3 * 4.458782x10^19 m^3) p = sqrt(1.2945785x10^7 s^2) p = 3598.025212 s Rounding to 4 significant figures, gives us 3598 seconds.</span>

How much voltage is in the primary coil if there are 3200 windings in the

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Voltage in primary coil is 3.91 V

Explanation:

For transformer we know that the working principle is given as

$\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{N_1}{N_2}$

here we know that

$V_1 [tex] = voltage in primary coil[tex]V_2 = 25 V$

$N_1 = 500$

$N_2 = 3200$

Now we have

$\frac{V_1}{25} = \frac{500}{3200}$

$V_1 = 3.91 V$

Two cylindrical resistors are made from the same material. The shorter one has length L, diameter D, and resistance R1. The long

nordsb [41]

Answer:

the resistance of the longer one is twice as big as the resistance of the shorter one.

Explanation:

Given that :

For the shorter cylindrical resistor

Length = L

Diameter = D

Resistance = R1

For the longer cylindrical resistor

Length = 8L

Diameter = 4D

Resistance = R2

So;

We all know that the resistance of a given material can be determined by using the formula :

$R = \dfrac{\rho L }{A}$

where;

A = πr²

$R = \dfrac{\rho L }{\pi r ^2}$

For the shorter cylindrical resistor ; we have:

$R = \dfrac{\rho L }{\pi r ^2}$

since 2 r = D

$R = \dfrac{\rho L }{\pi (\frac{2}{2 \ r}) ^2}$

$R = \dfrac{ 4 \rho L }{\pi \ D ^2}$

For the longer cylindrical resistor ; we have:

$R = \dfrac{\rho L }{\pi r ^2}$

since 2 r = D

$R = \dfrac{ \rho (8 ) L }{\pi (\frac{2}{2 \ r}) ^2}$

$R = \dfrac{32\rho L }{\pi \ (4 D) ^2}$

$R = \dfrac{2\rho L }{\pi \ (D) ^2}$

Sp;we can equate the shorter cylindrical resistor to the longer cylindrical resistor as shown below :

$\dfrac{R_s}{R_L} = \dfrac{ \dfrac{ 4 \rho L }{\pi \ D ^2}}{ \dfrac{2\rho L }{\pi \ (D) ^2}}$

$\dfrac{R_s}{R_L} ={ \dfrac{ 4 \rho L }{\pi \ D ^2}}* { \dfrac {\pi \ (D) ^2} {2\rho L}}$

$\dfrac{R_s}{R_L} =2$

${R_s}=2{R_L}$

Thus; the resistance of the longer one is twice as big as the resistance of the shorter one.

Why do astronauts float aboard the international space station?

lianna [129]

They’re falling toward earth & moving forward at about the same velocity. because the downward and forward forces are nearly equal, the astronauts are not pulled in any specific direction, so they float . <span>
