Answer:

\Delta E=2.87\times 10^6\ J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Depth of Death valley is 85 m below sea level, h_i=-85\ m

The summit of nearby Mt. Whitney has an elevation of 4420 m, h_f=4420\ m

Mass of the hiker, m = 65 kg

We need to find the change in potential energy. It is given by :

\Delta E=mg(h_f-h_i)

\Delta E=65\times 9.8(4420-(-85))

\Delta E=2869685\ J

or

\Delta E=2.87\times 10^6\ J

So, the change in potential energy of the hiker is 2.87\times 10^6\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.

The more twists per foot in a pair of wires, the more resistant the pair will be to ____.
Murljashka [212]
The more twist per foot in a pair of wires, the more resistant the pair will be to cross talk. A cross talk in network planning and design is a disturbance produced by electromagnetic interference beside a circuit or a cable pair. A telecommunication signal interrupts a signal in an adjacent circuit and can source the signals to turn out to be confused and cross over each other.

Explain how the information from the stimuli is communicated to the brain.
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Answer:Neurons communicate through an electrochemical process. Sensory receptors interact with stimuli such as light, sound, temperature, and pain which is transformed into a code that is carried to the brain by a chain of neurons. Then systems of neurons in the brain interpret this information.

Cosmic inflation refers to ____(A) the current period of cosmic acceleration.(B) stellar winds creating bubbles of gas.(C) the U
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

(D) a brief early period of hyper rapid expansion of space-time.

Explanation:

Cosmic inflation is a theory which states that in an interval of 10⁻³⁶ seconds to around 10⁻³³ seconds after the big bang there was a massive expansion.

According to the big bang theory the universe came to be from a singularity i.e., a point of infinite gravitational field. The universe is expanding this means that according to the conservation of energy the universe was expanding from the beginning.
