Since rods are about 1000 times more sensitive than cones (at 470 nm), they should be able to detect smaller values of the elect

ric field. Assuming rods and cones are sensitive to the average energy density of an electromagnetic wave, which of the following statements is the most accurate?a. Rods are about 1000 times more sensitive than cones.b. Rods are about 3 times more sensitive than cones.c. Rods and cones are about equally sensitive.d. Cones are about 3 times more sensitive than rods.e. Cones are about 1000 times more sensitive than rods.

Answer:

  a. Rods are about 1000 times more sensitive than cones.

Explanation:

The answer choice shown is a direct copy of the first line of the problem statement. It doesn't appear to be any more complicated than that. (It's a reading comprehension question.)

Alan starts from his home and walks 1.3 km east to the library. He walks an additional 0.68 km east to a music store. From there
zepelin [54]

Answer: final Displacement = 0 km, total distance covered =7 km

Explanation:

Given the following :

From home to library = 1.3 km East

Library to music store = 0.68km East

Music store to friend's house = 1.1km North

Friend's house to grocery store = 0.42 km North

Displacement is the net change in distance traveled.

Eastward distance :

To = (1.3 + 0.68)km = 1.98km East

Fro = (0.68 + 1.3)km = 1.98 km East

Δ distance = (1.98 - 1.98) = 0

Northward direction:

To = (1.1 + 0.42)km = 1.52km north

Fro = (0.42 + 1.1)km = 1.52km North

Δ distance = (1.98 - 1.98) = 0

Hence final Displacement = 0

Total distance covered = 2 × (1.3 + 0.68 + 1.1 + 0.42) = 2 × 3.5

= 7km

Nitrogen at 100 kPa and 25oC in a rigid vessel is heated until its pressure is 300 kPa. Calculate (a) the work done and (b) the
nignag [31]

Answer:

A. The work done during the process is W = 0

B. The value of heat transfer during the process Q = 442.83 \frac{KJ}{kg}

Explanation:

Given Data

Initial pressure P_{1} = 100 k pa

Initial temperature T_{1} = 25 degree Celsius = 298 Kelvin

Final pressure P_{2} = 300 k pa

Vessel is rigid so change in volume of the gas is zero. so that initial volume is equal to final volume.

⇒ V_{1} = V_{2} ------------- (1)

Since volume of the gas is constant so pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.

⇒ P ∝ T

⇒ \frac{P_{2} }{P_{1}} = \frac{T_{2} }{T_{1}}

⇒ Put all the values in the above formula we get the final temperature

⇒ T_{2} = \frac{300}{100} × 298

⇒ T_{2} = 894 Kelvin

(A). Work done during the process is given by W = P × (V_{2} -V _{1})

From equation (1), V_{1} = V_{2} so work done W = P × 0 = 0

⇒ W = 0

Therefore the work done during the process is zero.

Heat transfer during the process is given by the formula Q = m C_{v} ( T_{2} -T_{1} )

Where m = mass of the gas = 1 kg

C_{v} = specific heat at constant volume of nitrogen = 0.743 \frac{KJ}{kg k}

Thus the heat transfer Q = 1 × 0.743 × ( 894- 298 )

⇒ Q = 442.83 \frac{KJ}{kg}

Therefore the value of heat transfer during the process Q = 442.83 \frac{KJ}{kg}

Name the four fundamental fores at work inside an atom. Tell what each one does.​
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Four fundamental forces are gravitational, electromagnetic, strong, and weak.

Explanation:

The gravitational and electromagnetic interactions, which produce significant long-range forces whose effects can be seen directly in everyday life and the strong and weak interactions, which produce forces at minuscule, subatomic distances and govern nuclear interactions.
