Answer: Rods
Explanation:
The rod cells in the retina are the reason we are able to see at night and in dim light. They exist on the edges of the retina which is why they are also very useful for the peripheral vision of a human.
Rod cells number over 90 million in the eyes and although very useful for seeing in dimmer light, they are not very useful for color vision which is why humans see less colors in the dark.
A uniform meter rule of mass 10g is balanced on a knife edge placed at 45cm mark. Calculate the distance of a mass 25g from the pivot
Answer:
2 cm.
Explanation:
Please see attached photo for diagram.
In the attached photo, y is the distance from the pivot to which the 25 g is placed.
The value of y can be obtained as follow:
Clockwise moment = 5 × 10
Anticlock wise moment = y × 25
Anticlock wise moment = Clockwise moment
y × 25 = 5 × 10
y × 25 = 50
Divide both side by 25
y = 50/25
y = 2 cm
Thus, the distance is 2 cm
Imagine you see Mars rising in the east at 6:30 pm. Six hours later what direction would you face (look) to see Mars when it is highest in the sky
Answer:
The Mars appears in the direction of South.
Explanation:
Mars is rising in the east at 6: 30 PM. The period of rotation of earth is 24 hours.
So, 6 hours is the one fourth of the period of rotation of earth. Earth rotates counter clockwise on its axis, so after 6 hours, we see the Mars in the direction of South.

A heavier person will have a lower blood level due to a greater amount of ___ in their
Answer:
Blood alcohol content (BAC) is a measure of the amount of alcohol that is present in the blood.
A heavier person will have a lower blood alcohol level due to a greater amount of water in their body. The more a person weighs, the more water he/she tends to have in his/her body. The water has a diluting effect on the alcohol so the BAC will be lower in comparison with a person who is slimmer and has less water in the body.
Explanation:
1.The distance moved by objects in a given interval of time can help us to decide which one is faster or slower. Do you agree with this statement?
Answer:
The rate of change of distance is defined as speed.
Explanation:
The speed is defined as the rate of change of distance.
Speed = distance/ time
When we know the distance and the time, we get the value of speed. So, e know that who is moving fast or slow.
hen a graph is pltted beteen the distance and time, the slope of the graph gives the value of speed. So, by checking the slopes, hoseslope ismore, the speed is more and thusit is moving faster.
So, i agree with the statement.
A car travelling an unbanked curve of radius 200 ft notices a truckstopped on the road ahead. The driverimmediately applies brakes causing the speed of the carto decrease at the rate of 10 ft/s2. If at that instant, the stationary truckis 100 ft ahead (the distance is measured along the path) and the car is travelling at a speed of 40ft/s, whatis the magnitude of the relative velocity ofthe truck perceived by the driver of the car (i.e. from the moving frame of referenceof the car).
Answer:
u = - 40 ft / s
Explanation:
The Galilean relation for the relative velocity is
v ’= v + u
where u is the speed between the two reference frames, v is the speed of the fixed system and v 'the speed of the mobile system.
In this case the truck has a speed with respect to the ground (fixed system) 0 m / s (it is stopped), the car has a speed with respect to the ground of v = 40 ft / s,
u = v'- v
u = 0 - 40
u = - 40 ft / s
the speed perceived by the car if the system is fixed on it is -40 ft / s

why does a desert cooler cool better than a hot dry day
On a hot dry day, the amount of water vapour present in atmosphere is less. Thus, water present inside the desert cooler evaporates more, thereby cooling the surroundings more. Hence, a desert cooler cools better on a hot dry day.
A small car increases its speed from 10 m/s to 15 m/s. Its mass is 1,200 kg. What is the impulse?
A. 6,000 kg-m/s
B. 18,000 kg-m/s
C. 12,000 kg.m/s
D. 1,200 kg-m/s
Answer:
A
Explanation:
We know that impulse(J) is the force times the change in time OR mass times the change in velocity. Because we're given mass and a final and initial velocity, we'll use the second option written as:
mΔv=J
Since Δ means change in, and Δv= vf-vi, we subtract 10 m/s from 15 m/s to get 5 m/s for Δv.
Now plugging in Δv and m(1,200 kg)
1,200 kg * 5 m/s =J
6000 kg* m/s = J
To leave the gravitational pull of the Earth, and explore other planets, satellites must have at least:
Answer:
To explore the other planets, the satellite must have the velocity more than the escape velocity.
Explanation:
The minimum velocity required by any object to escape from the earth gravitational pull is called the escape velocity.
The escape velocity for any planet depends on the mass of planet and radius of planet. It does not depends on the mass of object. The escape velocity is same for any mass for a particular planet.
So, to explore the other planets, the satellite must have the velocity more than the escape velocity.

The Sun is an enormous ball of gas. Left to itself, a ball of so many atoms should collapse under its own tremendous gravity. Why is our Sun not collapsing
Answer:
Nuclear fusion in the Sun's core causes the release of tremendous amounts of energy that leads to very high temperatures and pressure which is much hotter and higher than the temperature and pressure at the exterior surface of the Sun causing the particles in the inner core region to push outwards towards the Sun's surface
Explanation:
Your parallel capacitors are 15 μf and 20 μf. The series capacitors are 10 μf and 12 μf. This circuit is connected to a 14 v battery, also determine the potential energy and the voltage across each capacitor
Answer:
a. i. 6.608 V ii. 5.507 V iii. 1.89 V iv. 1.89 V
b. i. 0.22 mJ ii. 0.182 mJ iii. 0.027 mJ iv. 0.036 mJ
Explanation:
a. The voltage across each capacitor
Since the 15 μf and 20 μf capacitors are in parallel, their total capacitance is C = 15 μf + 20 μf = 35 μf.
Also, since C is in series with the 10 μf and 12 μf which are in series, their total capacitance, C' is gotten from 1/C' = 1/10 μf + 1/12 μf + 1/35 μf
1/C' = (12 + 42 + 35)/420 /μf
1/C' = 89/420 /μf
C' = 420/89 μf
C' = 4.72 μf
The total charge in the circuit' is thus Q = C'V where V = voltage = 14 V
So, Q = C'V = 4.72 μf × 14 V = 66.08 μC
Since the 10 μf and 12 μf are in series, Q is the charge flowing through them.
Since Q = CV and V = Q/C
i. The voltage across the 10 capacitor is
V = 66.08 μC/10 μF = 6.608 V
ii. The voltage across the 12 capacitor is
V = 66.08 μC/12 μF = 5.507 V
The voltage across the 15 μF and 20 μF capacitors.
Since the capacitors are in parallel, the voltage across them is the voltage across their combined capacitance, C
So, V = Q/C = 66.08 μC/35 μF = 1.89 V
iii. The voltage across the 15 μF capacitor is 1.89 V
iv. The voltage across the 20 μF capacitor is 1.89 V
b. The potential energy of each capacitor

E = 1/2CV² where C = Capacitance = 10 μF = 10 × 10⁻⁶ F and V = voltage across capacitor = 6.608 V
E = 1/2CV²
E = 1/2 × 10 × 10⁻⁶ F(6.608 V)²
E = 5 × 10⁻⁶ F(43.666) V²
E = 218.33 × 10⁻⁶ J
E = 0.21833 × 10⁻³ J
E = 0.21833 mJ
E ≅ 0.22 mJ
ii. The potential energy of the 12 μF capacitor
E = 1/2CV² where C = Capacitance = 12 μF = 12 × 10⁻⁶ F and V = voltage across capacitor = 5.507 V
E = 1/2CV²
E = 1/2 × 12 × 10⁻⁶ F(5.507 V)²
E = 6 × 10⁻⁶ F(30.327) V²
E = 181.96 × 10⁻⁶ J
E = 0.18196 × 10⁻³ J
E = 0.18196 mJ
E ≅ 0.182 mJ
iii. The potential energy of the 15 μF capacitor
E = 1/2CV² where C = Capacitance = 15 μF = 15 × 10⁻⁶ F and V = voltage across capacitor = 1.89 V
E = 1/2CV²
E = 1/2 × 15 × 10⁻⁶ F(1.89 V)²
E = 7.5 × 10⁻⁶ F(3.5721) V²
E = 26.79 × 10⁻⁶ J
E = 0.02679 × 10⁻³ J
E = 0.02679 mJ
E ≅ 0.027 mJ
iv. The potential energy of the 15 μF capacitor
E = 1/2CV² where C = Capacitance = 20 μF = 15 × 10⁻⁶ F and V = voltage across capacitor = 1.89 V
E = 1/2CV²
E = 1/2 × 20 × 10⁻⁶ F(1.89 V)²
E = 10 × 10⁻⁶ F(3.5721) V²
E = 35.721 × 10⁻⁶ J
E = 0.035721 × 10⁻³ J
E = 0.035721 mJ
E ≅ 0.036 mJ
Show that the path followed by a projected horizontally frop top of the tower with uniform speed is a parabola .
Answer:
Explained below.
Explanation:
Let the initial velocity from the top of the tower of height(h) be u'
Now, since it is projected horizontally, the horizontal distance covered will be due to having a uniform horizontal velocity (u) while it will possess a vertical distance in the downward direction due to constant acceleration due to gravity (g).
If the time it takes the ball to reach the ground is "t", then we can say the horizontal distance travelled by the ball is denoted as; x(t) = x, while the vertical distance is denoted by; y(t) = y
Now, since it's a projectile the intial velocity (u) will have vertical and horizontal components which are;
u_y and u_x respectively.
Applying kinematic equations, we have;
x = u_x•t + ½at²
Acceleration is zero in the horizontal x direction. Thus;
x = u_x•t
For the vertical y-direction;
y = u_y•t + ½at²
Here since direction is in that of gravity, then a = g.
Also, since the initial velocity has no downward component, then u_y = 0 m/s
Thus;
y = ½gt²
From x = u_x•t, we have;
t = x/u_x
Thus;
y = ½g(x/u_x)²
y = ½gx²/(u_x)²
Let g/(u_x)² be treated as a constant with the letter k.
Thus;
y = kx²
This is the form of a parabolic equation.
Thus, it has been proved that the projectile follows the path of a parabola.
An ice skater pushes harder with her legs and begins to move faster. Which two laws best describes this
Answer:
Newton' second law and third law describes the situation.
Explanation:
According to the Newton's second law, the force applied on a body is proportional to the rate of change of momentum of the body.
According to the Newton's third law, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
When ice skater pushes harder means more force is applied so he moves fast and more be the action force more be the reaction force.
Thus, Newton' second law and third law describes the situation.
A student sects a leaf of length 7.2 cm to draw. Her drawing is 28.8 cm in length. What is the magnification of the drawing?
a) x4
b) x207.36
c) x0.25
d) x36
Answer:
A) x4
Explanation:
Magnification is equal to image size divided by the actual size, or M = I/A.
The image size is the student's drawing, which is 28.8 cm, and the actual size is 7.2 cm. Divide them, and cancel out the units, and you should get:
28.8 cm/7.2 cm = 4
A student places a block on a table and hangs one mass from the block. The student lets the block go and observes the block accelerate toward the end of the table where the mass was located. The student then places the block on the table and hangs a second, larger mass from the opposite end of the block. The block accelerates in the opposite direction from the first trial. What does this experiment demonstrate? Answer:
Magnitude of acceleration
Explanation:
We know that acceleration can increase depending in the force applied on an object, any object with a greater mass will apply a greater force. F = M(a).
This Newton's second law establishes a relationship between the summary of the external force and the acceleration of the body, It is demonstrated with the change in the direction and magnitude of the acceleration in the experiment
Newton's second law establishes a relationship between the net force and the acceleration, according to the expression
∑ F = m a
where ∑F is the sum of the external forces, m the mass and the acceleration of the body
In this case we have an initial situation, the block and a baking mass, therefore an acceleration is created towards the hanging mass given by
W₁ = M₁ g
F = ma
M₁ g = m a
a = [tex]\frac{M_1}{m} \ g[/tex]
where W₁ and M₁ are the weight and the masses of the mass of the body hanging under the acceleration of gravity.
In the second case, perhaps you have two masses, one on each side,
∑ F = W₁ -W₂
∑F = (M₁ -M₂) g
let's use Newton's second law
(M₁ -M₂ ) g = m a
a = [tex]\frac{M_1 - M_2}{m} \ g[/tex]
We can see that in the second case the acceleration depends on the difference of the hanging masses. This is a proof of Newton's second law where the effect on acceleration is due to the sum of all external forces and not of each force individually.
In conclusion with the realization of this experiment demostrate the valid true of Newton's second law

An electrostatic paint sprayer has a 0.17 m-diameter metal sphere at a potential of 25.0 kV that repels charged paint droplets onto the object to be painted, which is grounded (electric potential of 0).
Answer:
[tex]q=0.236uC[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Diameter [tex]d=0.17m[/tex]
Radius [tex]r=0.17/2=>0.085[/tex]
Potential [tex]E=25.0kV[/tex]
Generally the equation for Potential on spere is mathematically given by
[tex]E=\frac{1}{4 \pi e_0}*\frac{q}{r}[/tex]
Therefore

A train travelling at 20m/s accelerate at 0.5m/s2 for 30 seconds. How far will it travel in this time?
Answer:
825m
Explanation:
u=20m/s
a=0.5m/(s)^2
s = ut + 1/2a(t)^2
s = 20(30) + 1/2(0.5)(30)^2
s = 600 + 225
s = 825m
Answer:
as we know that
S=ut+1/2(at*t)
S=20*30+1/2(0.5*30*30)
S=600+225
S=825
A child is playing on a swing. As long as he does not swing too high the time it takes him to complete one full oscillation will be independent of
Answer:
We know that for a pendulum of length L, the period (time for a complete swing) is defined as:
T = 2*pi*√(L/g)
where:
pi = 3.14
L = length of the pendulum
g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2
Now, we can think on the swing as a pendulum, where the child is the mass of the pendulum.
Then the period is independent of:
The mass of the child
The initial angle
Where the restriction of not swing to high is because this model works for small angles, and when the swing is to high the problem becomes more complex.
The electric potential energy of an electric dipole is ______ when the dipole is aligned with an electric field. The electric potential energy of an electric dipole is ______ when the dipole is aligned with an electric field. most positive most negative zero infinite undefined
Answer:
Most negative
Explanation:
The electric potential energy of a dipole U = -pEcosθ where p = dipole moment, E = electric field and θ = angle between p and E.
When the electric dipole is aligned with the electric field, the angle between p and E is 0°. That is θ = 0°.
So, U = -pEcosθ
U = -pEcos0°
U = -pE
which is the most negative value it can have.
So, the electric potential energy of an electric dipole is most negative when the dipole is aligned with an electric field.
So, most negative is the answer.
If the universe is infinite, then how come there are things disappearing from the horizon? I was at a point in this video (TRUE Limits Of Humanity from Kurzgesagt) about true limits of humanity, and the narrator mentioned that (04:12) "...there is a cosmological horizon around us. Everything beyond it, is traveling faster, relative to us, than the speed of light. So everything that passes the horizon is irretrievably out of reach forever and we will never be able to interact with it again." Are they talking about how galaxies passing the horizon are physically absent, or just visually aren't there and we are unable to interact with them?
Answer:
The big rip theory
Explanation:
I believe what you are referring to is the big rip theory, in which the universe expands faster than the speed of light Kurzgesagt refers to it as a "horizon" but in reality it's a little more complicated than that. Eventually the expansion of the universe will accelerate far beyond the speed of light creating space between molecules until eventually all matter is fleeting and the entire universe is an endlessly vast cosmic void with not but the occasion molecule left from a time when things weren't so lonely.

What do you think will happen to the people in the airplane if their location is unknown?
My opinion:
I mean what are the circumstances? Is it just a rogue pilot that takes a random plane with all the passengers Hostage or is It bad whether an they lose connection to the airport? I Mean either way, If I was on a plane being held hostage, or the plane crashing, I Would be a in a panic type state of mind. I Would be worried about what will happen when the plane crashes, I would worry about my friends or family that is aboard the plane with me, I Would be scared for my life because I Don't know if i would make it out alive.
Also:
How would they know their location is unknown wouldn't the Pilot be the only one to know exactly where there with their navigating system, But then again there was this time I headed to Florida an They had mini tv's on the seats of each chair, where you could: Watch movies, listen to music, an Also see exactly where you are in the world. It was really amazing actually.

3. Thekinetic energy of an object of
mass, m moving with a velocity
of 5 ms-t is 25 J. What will be its
Toinetic energy when its velocity
is doubled? What will be its
Icinetic energy ruhen its velocity
is increased three times?
Answer:
1. 100 J
2. 225 J
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the mass of the object. This can be obtained as follow:
Velocity (v) = 5 ms¯¹
Kinetic energy (KE) = 25 J
Mass (m) =?
KE = ½mv²
25 = ½ × m × 5²
25 = ½ × m × 25
25 = 25m / 2
Cross multiply
25m = 25 × 2
25m = 50
Divide both side by 25
m = 50 / 25
m = 2 Kg
1. Determination of the kinetic energy when the velocity is doubled.
Mass (m) = 2 Kg
Velocity (v) = double the initial velocity
= 2 × 5 ms¯¹
= 10 ms¯¹
Kinetic energy (KE) =?
KE = ½mv²
KE = ½ × 2 × 10²
KE = ½ × 2 × 100
KE = 100 J
2. Determination of the kinetic energy when the velocity increased three times.
Mass (m) = 2 Kg
Velocity (v) = three times the initial velocity
= 3 × 5 ms¯¹
= 15 ms¯¹
Kinetic energy (KE) =?
KE = ½mv²
KE = ½ × 2 × 15²
KE = ½ × 2 × 225
KE = 225 J
