You step onto a hot beach with your bare feet. A generated in your foot, travels through your nervous system at an average speed

of 127 m/s. How much time does it take for the impulse, which travels a distance of 1.58m to reach your brain?

Answer: 12.44 millisecond

Explanation:

Based on the information given, to know the time taken for the impulse, which travels a distance of 1.58m to reach the brain will be:

Time taken = Distance/Speed

Time taken = 1.58/127

Time taken = 0.01244

Time taken = 12.44 millisecond.

A baseball player throws a ball horizontally at the same moment another baseball player jobs a second ball straight down from th
attashe74 [19]

I don't know what you mean when you say he "jobs" the other ball, and the answer to this question really depends on that word.

I'm going to say that the second player is holding the second ball, and he just opens his fingers and lets the ball <u><em>drop</em></u>, at the same time and from the same height as the first ball.

Now I'll go ahead and answer the question that I've just invented:

Strange as it may seem, <em>both</em> balls hit the ground at the <em>same time</em> ... the one that's thrown AND the one that's dropped.  The horizontal speed of the thrown ball has no effect on its vertical acceleration, so both balls experience the same vertical behavior.

And here's another example of the exact same thing:

Say you shoot a bullet straight out of a horizontal rifle barrel, AND somebody else <em>drops</em> another bullet at exactly the same time, from a point right next to the end of the rifle barrel.  I know this is hard to believe, but both of those bullets hit the ground at the same time too, just like the baseballs ... the bullet that's shot out of the rifle and the one that's dropped from the end of the barrel.

If jim exerts a force of 2.0 N on a shopping cart, what force does the shopping cart exert on jim?
zloy xaker [14]
There are two possibilities for this question:
1- The shopping cart is at rest (not moving):
In this case:
∑Forces = 0
Force exerted by Jim + Force exerted by cart = 0
2 + Force exerted by cart = 0
Force exerted by cart = -2

2- The cart is moving as a result of a net force "m":
In this case:
∑Forces = m
Force exerted by Jim + Force exerted by cart = m
Force exerted by cart = m-2

A student uses a microwave oven to heat a meal. The wavelength of the radiation is 8.97 cm. What is the energy of one photon of
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The energy of one photon is 2.21x10⁻²⁴ J. Multiplied by 10²⁵ is 22.10 J.

         

Explanation:  

The energy (E) of a photon is:

E = h\frac{c}{\lambda}

Where:

h: is the Planck's constant = 6.62x10⁻³⁴ J.s

λ: is the wavelength of the radiation = 8.97 cm

c: is the speed of light = 3.00x10⁸ m/s

E = h\frac{c}{\lambda} = 6.62 \cdot 10^{-34} J.s\frac{3.00\cdot 10^{8} m/s}{8.97 \cdot 10^{-2} m} = 2.21 \cdot 10^{-24} J

Hence, the energy of one photon is 2.21x10⁻²⁴ J.

Now, if we multiply the answer by 10²⁵ we have:

E = 2.21 \cdot 10^{-24} J \cdot 10^{25} = 22.10 J

I hope it helps you!

2. A wave on a rope has a wavelength of 2.0 m and a frequency of 2.0 Hz. What is the speed of the
TEA [102]

Answer:

4 m/s or 4 meters per second.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the speed of wave, you multiply the wavelength in meters and the frequency of the Wave in Hertz. 2 times 2 equals 4. The wave speed is always in m/s considering that the wavelength is also in meters.
