Answer:

The given statement is true.

In most of the animals, the vestibular system contributes to the spatial orientation and sense of balance.

It helps in coordinating movement with balance.

The vestibular system is composed of two components semi-circular canals and otoliths.

Rotational movements are indicated by semi-circular canals whereas linear accelerations are indicated by Otoliths.

A low orbit satellite at 100 km altitude had a camera that resolved a car location to within 0.3 meter. Find the minimum diamete

NeX [460]

Answer:

Minimum diameter of the camera lens is 22.4 cm

The focal length of the camera's lens is 300cm

Explanation:

y = Resolve distance = 0.3 m

h = Height of satellite = 100 km

λ = Wavelength = 550 nm

Angular resolution

$tan\theta\approx \theta =\frac{y}{h}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{0.3}{100\times 10^3}=3\times 10^{-6}$

From Rayleigh criteria

$sin\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{\lambda}{sin\theta}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{550\times 10^{-9}}{sin3\times 10^{-6}}=0.2236\ m=22.4\ cm$

Minimum diameter of the camera lens is 22.4 cm

Relation between resolvable feature, focal length and angular resolution

$d=f\Delta \theta\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{d}{\Delta \theta}\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{9\times 10^{-6}}{3\times 10^{-6}}=3\ m=300\ cm$

The focal length of the camera's lens is 300cm

A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. Complete the following statemen

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4

Explanation:

A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. The centripetal acceleration is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v^2}{R}$

We need to find how the "centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4"

It can be done by keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4 such that,

R' = R/4

New centripetal acceleration will be,

$a'=\dfrac{v^2}{R'}$

$a'=\dfrac{v^2}{R/4}$

$a'=4\times \dfrac{v^2}{R}$

$a'=4\times a$

So, the centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4.

Potassium is a crucial element for the healthy operation of the human

Degger [83]

Answer:

The mass of the Potassium-40 is $m_{40}} = 2.88*10^{-6} kg$

The Dose per year in Sieverts is $Dose_s = 26.4 *10^{-10}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The isotopes of potassium in the body are Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium- 41

Their abundance is 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728%

The mass of potassium contained in human body is $m = 3.0 g = \frac{3}{1000} = 0.0003 \ kg$ per kg of the body

The mass of the first body is $m_1 = 80 \ kg$

Now the mass of potassium in this body is mathematically evaluated as

$m_p = m * m_1$

substituting value

$m_p = 80 * 0.0003$

$m_p =0.024 kg$

The amount of Potassium-40 present is mathematically evaluated as

$m_{40}} =$ 0.012% * 0.024

$m_{40}} = \frac{0.012}{100} * 0.024$

$m_{40}} = 2.88*10^{-6} kg$

The dose of energy absorbed per year is mathematically represented as

$Dose = \frac{E}{m_1}$

Where E is the energy absorbed which is given as $E = 1.10 MeV = 1.10 * 10^6 * 1.602*10^{-19}$

Substituting value

$Dose = \frac{ 1.10 * 10^6 * 1.602*10^{-19}}{80}$

$Dose = 22*10^{-10} J/kg$

The Dose in Sieverts is evaluated as

$Dose_s = REB * Dose$

$Dose_s = 1.2 * 22*10^{-10}$

$Dose_s = 26.4 *10^{-10}$
