The sense of smell helps protect us against danger. Explain why.

1 answer:

6 0

Well we can always smell things like if food smells bad or if we smell something we have to know whether that smell is good or bad. You could be able to smell animals that are dangerous. Or animal droppings, to know what animal it is if you are in danger.

When is your kinetic energy the least when swinging on a park swing?

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

An active pendulum has the most kinetic energy at the lowest point of its swing when the weight is moving fastest.

Explanation:

SO YOU HAVE THE LEAST KINETIC ENERGY AT THE HIGHEST POINT OF THE SWING WHEN IT'S NOT ACTIVE

A ray of light has a wavelength of

MArishka [77]

Answer:

The wavelength in vacuum is equal to 428.8 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

The wavelength of light, $\lambda=284\ nm$

The refractive index of glass, n = 1.51

We need to find the wavelength in vacuum. The relation between wavelength and refractive index is given by :

$n=\dfrac{\lambda_v}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda_v=n\times \lambda\\\\\lambda_v=1.51\times 284\\\\\lambda_v=428.8\ nm$

So, the wavelength in vacuum is equal to 428.8 nm.

The car's initial speed was 15 m / s and the distance the car travels before it comes to a complete stop after the driver applie

pentagon [3]

Initial speed of the car (u) = 15 m/s

Final speed of the car (v) = 0 m/s (Car comes to a complete stop after driver applies the brake)

Distance travelled by the car before it comes to halt (s) = 63 m

By using equation of motion, we get:

$\bf \longrightarrow {v}^{2} = {u}^{2} + 2as \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow {0}^{2} = {15}^{2} + 2 \times a \times 63 \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow 0 = 225 + 126a \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow 126a = - 225 \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow a = - \dfrac{225}{126} \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow a = - 1.78 \: m {s}^{ - 2}$

$\therefore$ Acceleration of the car (a) = -1.78 m/s²

Magnitude of the car's acceleration (|a|) = 1.78 m/s²

A 150kg motorcycle starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate along a distance of 350m. The applied force is 250N and t

notsponge [240]

A) The net force on the motorbike is 205.9 N

B) The acceleration of the motorbike is $1.37 m/s^2$

C) The final speed is 5.2 m/s

D) The elapsed time is 3.80 s

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the motorbike:

- The applied force, F = 250 N, forward

- The frictional force, $F_f$ , backward

The frictional force can be written as

$F_f = \mu mg$

where

$\mu=0.03$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

$m=150 kg$ is the mass of the motorbike

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Therefore the net force is given by

$\sum F = F - F_f = F - \mu mg$

And substituting, we find

$\sum F=250 - (0.03)(150)(9.8)=205.9 N$

The acceleration of the motorbike can be found by using Newton's second law, which states that the net force is equal to the product between mass and acceleration:

$\sum F = ma$
