Answer:

“We have a brain for one reason and one reason only, and that's to produce adaptable and complex movements,” stated Wolpert, Director of the Computational and Biological Learning Lab at the University of Cambridge. ... The evidence for this is in how well we've learned to mimic our movements using computers and robots.

Answer:

Wolpert argues that the only reason we evolved our brains is because we had to move, not because we had to think or feel. This is a fun and thought-provoking talk that may get you thinking about your brain in a markedly different way

Question 1.

mass = 4500 kg
potential energy (p.e) = 67500 J

now, we know :

=》

$p.e = mgh$

=》

$67500 = 4500 \times 10 \times h$

=》

$67500 = 45000 \times h$

=》

$h = \dfrac{67500}{45000}$

=》

$h = 1.5 \: m$

note : if we take acceleration due to gravity as 9.8, then height = 1.53 m

Question 2.

mass = 4500 kg
kinetic energy = 63000 j

we know,

=》

$k.e = \dfrac{1}{2} mv {}^{2}$

=》

$63000 = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 4500 \times {v}^{2}$

=》

${v}^{2} = \dfrac{63000 \times 2}{4500}$

=》

${v}^{2} = 28$

=》

$v = \sqrt{28}$

=》

$v = 2 \sqrt{7} \: \: ms {}^{ - 1}$

=》

$5.29 \: \: ms {}^{ - 1}$

Parallel light rays with a wavelength of 563 nm fall on a single slit. On a screen 3.30 m away, the distance between the first d

MrMuchimi

Answer:

The width of the slit is 0.4 mm (0.00040 m).

Explanation:

From the Young's interference expression, we have;

(λ ÷ d) = (Δy ÷ D)

where λ is the wavelength of the light, D is the distance of the slit to the screen, d is the width of slit and Δy is the fringe separation.

Thus,

d = (Dλ) ÷ Δy

D = 3.30 m, Δy = 4.7 mm (0.0047 m) and λ = 563 nm (563 × $10^{-9}$ m)

d = (3.30 × 563 × $10^{-9}$ ) ÷ (0.0047)

= 1.8579 × $10^{-6}$ ÷ 0.0047

= 0.0003951 m

d = 0.00040 m

The width of the slit is 0.4 mm (0.00040 m).

I measured my pet dog (Mickey) to be able to run the length of my backyard 500 in 12 seconds. At this rate, how many miles can m

Georgia [21]

The dog runs 300240 miles.

Rate refers to the pace at which something happens. We know that the easiest way to obtain the rate is by the use of proportion. Now we have been told that the dog is able to run 500 miles in 12 seconds.

If the dog runs 500 miles in 12 seconds

The dog runs x miles in 1 second

x = 500 * 1/12

x = 41.7 miles

In two hours we have 2 * 60 * 60 = 7200 seconds

If the dog runs 41.7 miles in 1 second

The dog runs x miles in 7200 seconds

x = 41.7 miles * 7200 seconds/ 1 second

x = 300240 miles

A particle moves along a straight path through a displacement d = 2.5i + cj while a force F = 8.5i + -8.5j acts on it. The displ

Zanzabum

Answer:

Explanation:

Work is defined as the scalar product of force and distance

W=F•d

Given that

F = 8.5i + -8.5j. +×-=-

F=8.5i-8.5j

d = 2.5i + cj

If the work in the practice is zero, then W=0

therefore,

W=F•ds

0=F•ds

0=(8.5i -8.5j)•(2.5i + cj)

Note that

i.i=j.j=k.k=1

i.j=j.i=k.i=i.k=j.k=k.j=0

So applying this

0=(8.5i -8.5j)•(2.5i + cj)

0= (8.5×2.5i.i + 8.5×ci.j -8.5×2.5j.i-8.5×cj.j)

0=21.25-8.5c

Therefore,

8.5c=21.25

c=21.25/8.5

c=2.5
