Answer:

the retina of the eye contains photoreceptor cells that detect the light intensity, whether it is dim or bright, changing shape of iris.

Explanation:

in dim light, the receptors detect the light intensity, and in order to allow us to see more clearly, the radial muscles in iris contract, making the pupil widen(dilate), so more light enters eye.

in case of bright light, he receptors detect the light intensity, and in order to allow us to see more clearly, the circular muscles in iris contract, making the pupil narrow(constrict), so less light enters eye

Suppose a gliding 2-kg cart bumps into, and sticks to, a stationary 5-kg cart. If the speed of the gliding cart before the colli

Answer:

Therefore,

Final velocity of the coupled carts after the collision is

$v_{f}=4\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Glidding Cart = m₁ = 2 kg

Mass of Stationary Cart = m₂ = 5 kg

Initial velocity of Glidding Cart = u₁ = 14 m/s

Initial velocity of Stationary Cart = u₂ = 0 m/s

To Find:

Final velocity of the coupled carts after the collision = $v_{f}=?$

Solution:

Law of Conservation of Momentum:

For a collision occurring between two objects in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision.

It is denoted by "p" and given by

Momentum = p = mass × velocity

Hence by law of Conservation of Momentum we hame

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision

Here after collision both are stuck together so both will have same final velocity,

$m_{1}\times u_{1}+m_{2}\times u_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})\times v_{f}$

Substituting the values we get

$2\times 14 + 5\times 0 =(2+5)\times v_{f}$

$v_{f}=\dfrac{28}{7}=4\ m/s$

Therefore,

Final velocity of the coupled carts after the collision is

$v_{f}=4\ m/s$

Which statement is true about metals?

CaHeK987 [17]

B. Metals are usually defined to be from group 1 to group 13 in the periodic table which has 1-3 electrons in the outermost shell. They easily give them up which explains their conductivity.

ycow [4]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\large\boxed{10ft/s}}$

Explanation:

The question, translated, is:

A steel ball rolls and falls off the edge of a table from 4ft above the floor. If you hit the ground 5ft from the base of the table, what was your initial horizontal velocity?

<h2>Solution</h2>

This is a projectile motion, for which, the equations that you will need are:

$V_x_0= V_x=x\cdot t$
