<u>Answer:</u>

The human brain and its secretion affect human behavior significantly.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The sympathetic nervous system responds to the stimuli of danger while the parasympathetic nervous system helps us to relax by secreting specific hormones.

These two systems interact with the endocrine system and release hormones and chemicals which circulate in our body and regulate our emotions and behaviors. These hormones and chemicals not only affect our growth and metabolism behaviors but also control our emotions such as anger, sadness, happiness, and fear.

A 4.87-kg ball of clay is thrown downward from a height of 3.21 m with a speed of 5.21 m/s onto a spring with k = 1570 N/m. The

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Approximately $0.560\; {\rm m}$ , assuming that:

the height of $3.21\; {\rm m}$ refers to the distance between the clay and the top of the uncompressed spring.
air resistance on the clay sphere is negligible,
the gravitational field strength is $g = 9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}$ , and
the clay sphere did not deform.

Explanation:

Notations:

Let $k$ denote the spring constant of the spring.
Let $m$ denote the mass of the clay sphere.
Let $v$ denote the initial speed of the spring.
Let $g$ denote the gravitational field strength.
Let $h$ denote the initial vertical distance between the clay and the top of the uncompressed spring.

Let $x$ denote the maximum compression of the spring- the only unknown quantity in this question.

After being compressed by a displacement of $x$ , the elastic potential energy $\text{PE}_{\text{spring}}$ in this spring would be:

$\displaystyle \text{PE}_{\text{spring}} = \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2}$ .

The initial kinetic energy $\text{KE}$ of the clay sphere was:

$\displaystyle \text{KE} = \frac{1}{2}\, m \, v^{2}$ .

When the spring is at the maximum compression:

The clay sphere would be right on top of the spring.
The top of the spring would be below the original position (when the spring was uncompressed) by $x$ .
The initial position of the clay sphere, however, is above the original position of the top of the spring by $h = 3.21\; {\rm m}$ .

Thus, the initial position of the clay sphere ( $h = 3.21\; {\rm m}$ above the top of the uncompressed spring) would be above the max-compression position of the clay sphere by $(h + x)$ .

The gravitational potential energy involved would be:

$\text{GPE} = m\, g\, (h + x)$ .

No mechanical energy would be lost under the assumptions listed above. Thus:

$\text{PE}_\text{spring} = \text{KE} + \text{GPE}$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\, m\, v^{2} + m\, g\, (h + x)$ .

Rearrange this equation to obtain a quadratic equation about the only unknown, $x$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2} - m\, g\, x - \left[\left(\frac{1}{2}\, m\, v^{2}\right)+ (m\, g\, h)\right] = 0$ .

Substitute in $k = 1570\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}}$ , $m = 4.87\; {\rm kg}$ , $v = 5.21\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ , $g = 9.81\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-2}}$ , and $h = 3.21\; {\rm m}$ . Let the unit of $x$ be meters.

$785\, x^{2} - 47.775\, x - 219.453 \approx 0$ (Rounded. The unit of both sides of this equation is joules.)

Solve using the quadratic formula given that $x \ge 0$ :

$\begin{aligned}x &\approx \frac{-(-47.775) + \sqrt{(-47.775)^{2} - 4 \times 785 \times (-219.453)}}{2 \times 785} \\ &\approx 0.560\; {\rm m}\end{aligned}$ .

(The other root is negative and is thus invalid.)

Hence, the maximum compression of this spring would be approximately $0.560\; {\rm m}$ .

Find the equivalent resistance of this parallel circuit with two strands.

svlad2 [7]

In a parallel circuit, the total resistance calculated from the individual resistances is computed from the formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2. substituting R1 and R2, then
1/Rt = 1/7 + 1/49
1/Rt = 1/6.125 = 1/ 49/8
Rt = 49/8 <span>Ω

The total resistance hence is </span>49/8 Ω

Why is the answer B?

djyliett [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The center of mass lies on a line that joins position 4 of one start with position 4 of the other star. The shortest distance between these two points will produce the largest velocity. You are using F = m v^2/R

Small R = large force.

Large Force = increased speed.

The masses don't have any effect on the outcome: they remain constant.
