You are driving in a car for 30 minutes, with the windows down and the radio at a high volume. You turn the car off and leave th

e car for period of time. When you return to the car and turn it on, the radio comes on at the same high volume. It hurts your ears this time. You failed to realize how loudly you were listening to the radio. This shows the principle of: ________

Answer:

sensory adaption

Explanation:

Sensory adaption is the phenomenon where the intensity of a stimulus experienced by an organism decreases after a certain amount of exposure to the stimulus. This happens in order for us to pay attention to other stimulus.

When you are driving with the windows down and listening to music you are subjected to a lot of stimuli. Here, most of our attention needs to be on driving. So, our brain drowns all the other unneccessary stimuli like the music.

When you enter the car again where the other stimuli which were present while driving are absent, all your attention is diverted to the music. So, your're ears hurt.

A woman holds a book by placing it between her hands such that she presses at right angles to the front and back covers. The boo
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to make a free body diagram of the book and the forces that interact on it. In the picture below you can see the free body diagram with these forces.

The person holding the book is compressing it with his hands, thus exerting a couple of forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction with value F.

Now the key to solving this problem is to analyze the equilibrium condition (Newton's third law) on the x & y axes.

To find the weight of the book we simply multiply the mass of the book by gravity.

W = m*g

W = 1.3[kg] * 9.81[m/s^2]

W = 12.75 [N]

Help for brainliest!

A “real” image occurs when light rays actually intersect at the image, and become inverted, or turned upside down. ... In flat, or plane mirrors, the image is a virtual image, and is the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror. The image is also the same size as the object.

A firecracker breaks up into three pieces, one of which has a mass of 200 g and flies off along the x-axis with a speed of 82.0
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

|P_3|=21.242m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass m=200g=0.2

Speed v=82.0m/s

Mass M_2=300g=0.3kg

Speed V_2=45.0m/s

Generally the equation for Magnitude of the Third piece is mathematically given by

P_1+P_2+P_3=0

|P_3|=|P_1+P_2|

Where

P_1=m_1v_1

P_1=0.2*82

P_1=16.4kgm/s

And

P_2=0.3*45

P_2=13.5kgm/s

Therefore

|P_3|=\sqrt{16.4^2+13.5^2}

|P_3|=21.242m/s

Unpolarized light passes through a combination of two ideal polarizers. The transmission axes of the first polarizer and the sec
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

62.5 %

Explanation:

Let the initial intensity of unpolarized light is Io.

After first polariser the intensity of light becomes I'.

So, I' = \frac{I_{0}}{2}

Now it passes through another polariser. The angle between the first polariser and the second polariser is given by Ф. The intensity is I''.

According to the law of Malus

I'' = I' Cos^{2}\phi

Here, Ф = 30 degree

I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{2} Cos^{2}30=0.375I_{0}

The percentage change in the intensity is given by

\frac{I_{0}-I''}{I_{0}}\times 100=\frac{I_{0}-0.375I_{0}}{I_{0}}\times100

= 62.5 %
