When the energy of a stimulus falls below the absolute threshold, its presence cannot be detected. true or false?

1 answer:

3 0

I think it's true
The minimum amount of stimulus energy that a person can detect.
When the energy of a stimulus falls below the absolute threshold, we cannot detect its presence. When the energy of a stimulus rises above it, we can detect the stimulus.
hope it helped give thanks :)

A cardboard box sits on top of a concrete sidewalk where the coefficient of friction between the surfaces is 0.4. The mass of th

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Fg = 98.1 [N]; N = 98.1 [N]; Ff = 39.24 [N]; a = 2.076[m/^2]

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must make a free body diagram and interpret each of the forces acting on the box. In the attached diagram we can find the free body diagram.

The gravitational force is equal to:

Fg = (10 * 9.81) = 98.1 [N]

Now by summing forces on the Y axis equal to zero, we can find the normal force exerted by the surface.

N - Fg = 0

N = Fg

N = 98.1 [N]

The friction force is defined as the product of normal force by the coefficient of friction.

Ff = N * μ

Ff = 98.1 * 0.4

Ff = 39.24 [N]

By the sum forces on the x-axis equal to the product of mass by acceleration (newton's second law), we can find the value of acceleration.

60 - Ff = m * a

60 - 39.24 = 10 * a

a = 2.076[m/^2]

An initially stationary object experiences an acceleration of 6 m/s2 for a time of 15 s. How far will it travel during that time

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The object will travel 675 m during that time.

Explanation:

A body moves with constant acceleration motion or uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion (u.a.r.m) when the path is a straight line, but the velocity is not necessarily constant because there is an acceleration.

In other words, a body performs a u.a.r.m when its path is a straight line and its acceleration is constant. This implies that the speed increases or decreases uniformly.

In this case, the position is calculated using the expression:

x = xo + vo*t + ½*a*t²

where:

x0 is the initial position.
v0 is the initial velocity.
a is the acceleration.
t is the time interval in which the motion is studied.

In this case:

x0= 0
v0= 0 because the object is initially stationary
a= 6 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$
t= 15 s

Replacing:

x= 0 + 0*15 s + ½*6 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$ *(15s)²

Solving:

x=½*6 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$ *(15s)²

x=½*6 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$ *225 s²

x= 675 m

The object will travel 675 m during that time.

The tires on your truck have 0.35 m radius. In a straight line, you drive 2600 m. What is the angular displacement of the tire,

Travka [436]

1) In a circular motion, the angular displacement $\theta$ is given by
$\theta = \frac{S}{r}$
where S is the arc length and r is the radius. The problem says that the truck drove for 2600 m, so this corresponds to the total arc length covered by the tire: $S=2600 m$ . Using the information about the radius, $r=0.35 m$ , we find the total angular displacement:
$\theta = \frac{2600 m}{0.35 m} =7428 rad$

2) If we put larger tires, with radius $r=0.60 m$ , the angular displacement will be smaller. We can see this by using the same formula. In fact, this time we have:
$\theta = \frac{2600 m}{0.60 m}=4333 rad$
