Correct answer: D). Working Memory

The short term memory is the part of the memory system in which the information is stored for 30 seconds. However, it can be increased by rehearsal. Short term memory is also called active memory or the working memory. The working memory is the part of the cognitive system that is responsible for storing information temporarily for processing. It is important for reasoning.

Hence, the correct answer would be option D.

A system absorbs 52 joules of heat and does work using 25 joules of energy. What is the change in the internal energy of the sys

motikmotik

The change in internal energy is $\Delta U=Q+W$ . Where $\Delta U$ is change in internal energy. $Q$ is heat added to the system (absorbed by the system). $W$ work done on the system. $W$ is taken as positive if work is done on the system and negative if work is done by the system. Here $Q=52$ and $W=-25$ , hence change in internal energy is

$\Delta U=52-25\\ \Delta U=27$

Change in internal energy of the system is 27 J. Internal energy increases.

A 5.0-kilogram box is sliding across a level floor. The box is acted upon by a force of 27 newtons east and a frictional force o

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the box is 2 m/s².

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the box, $m=5.0$ kg

Force acting towards east, $F=27$ N

Frictional force acting towards west, $f=17$ N

Let the acceleration be $a$ m/s².

Now, net force acting on the box towards east is given as:

$F_{net}=F-f=27-17=10\textrm{ N}$

From Newton's second law of motion,

$F_{net}=ma\\10=5.0\times a\\a=\frac{10}{5.0}=2\textrm{ }m/s^2$

Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration of the box is 2 m/s².

A and B, move toward one another. Object A has twice the mass and half the speed of object B. Which of the following describes t

BARSIC [14]

Answer:D

Explanation:

Given

mass of A is twice the mass of B half the velocity of B

Suppose $F_a$ and $F_b$ be the average force exerted on A and B respectively

and According to Newton third law of motion Force on the body A is equal to Force on body B but opposite in direction as they are action and reaction force.

Thus $F_a=-F_b$ and option d is correct

A 2.0 g metal cube and a 4.0 g metal cube are 6.0 cm apart, measured between their centers, on a horizontal surface. For both, t

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

a) t=10.2s

b) The 2g-cube moves first

Explanation:

Since the electric force is the same on both cubes and so is the coefficient of static friction, the first one to move will be the one with less mass.

So, on the 2g-cube the sum of forces are:

$\left \{ {{Ff-Fe=0} \atop {N-m*g=0}} \right.$
