Discuss why Wolpert says we have a brain.

Physics

ycow [4]2 years ago

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

A football player kicks a ball at a 30o angle from the ground with an initial velocity of 15 m/s. What is the final velocity of
navik [9.2K]

Given that,

Angle = 30°

Initial velocity = 15 m/s

We need to calculate the time of flight

Using formula of time of flight

T=\dfrac{2u\sin\theta}{g}

Where, u = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

T=\dfrac{2\times15\sin30}{9.8}

T=1.5\ sec

We need to calculate the final velocity of the ball

Using equation of motion

v=u+gt

v=15+9.8\times1.5

v=29.7\ m/s

Hence, The final velocity of the ball is 29.7 m/s.

Suppose that a sound source is emitting waves uniformly in all directions. If you move to a point twice as far away from the sou
Helen [10]

Answer:

<em>d. unchanged.</em>

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is dependent on the speed of the wave and the wavelength of the wave. The frequency is characteristic for a wave, and does not change with distance. This is unlike the amplitude which determines the intensity, which decreases with distance.

In a wave, the velocity of propagation of a wave is the product of its wavelength and its frequency. The speed of sound does not change with distance, except when entering from one medium to another, and we can see from

v = fλ

that the frequency is tied to the wave, and does not change throughout the waveform.

where v is the speed of the sound wave

f is the frequency

λ is the wavelength of the sound wave.

a 1 m length of string is wrapped around a solid disk, of mass .25 kg and a radius of .30m, mounted on a frictionless axle. the
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

60 rad/s

Explanation:

∑τ = Iα

Fr = Iα

For a solid disc, I = ½ mr².

Fr = ½ mr² α

α = 2F / (mr)

α = 2 (20 N) / (0.25 kg × 0.30 m)

α = 533.33 rad/s²

The arc length is 1 m, so the angle is:

s = rθ

1 m = 0.30 m θ

θ = 3.33 rad

Use constant acceleration equation to find ω.

ω² = ω₀² + 2αΔθ

ω² = (0 rad/s)² + 2 (533.33 rad/s²) (3.33 rad)

ω = 59.6 rad/s

Rounding to one significant figure, the angular velocity is 60 rad/s.

If you put a object in front of the mirror why does it appear the opposite way
UNO [17]
It is because that is how mirrors work, they reflect light, and since we see objects because we are seeing the light these objects reflect, what is reflected back by the mirror is what we see.

What does it mean to say that some elements are reactive and form ions easily whereas others do not?
butalik [34]

Answer:

Some elements are reactive because the outermost energy levels of their atoms are only partially filled. Therefore, these atoms can easily gain or lose electrons to form ions. The atoms of nonreactive elements have filled outermost energy levels
