Physics Quiz

What does Newton’s Second Law of Motion state?

• Force is the product of velocity and time.

• Force equals mass times acceleration.

• Force is the result of energy divided by power.

• Force equals weight minus gravity.

What does "describable by" mean?

• Explains how input transforms into output.

• Indicates a systematic relationship.

• Means something can be explained or represented.

• Refers to physical changes in the system.

What does "function" imply?

• A mathematical or systematic relationship.

• The ability to explain concepts.

• A random association.

• None of the above.

Why are representations necessary in cognitive science?

• To focus on biological mechanisms exclusively.

• To explain behavior and understand how the mind interprets the world.

• To avoid computational analysis.

• To bypass mental processes.

What is luminance?

• The measure of surface texture.

• Direct access to the light bouncing off a surface.

• The distance of the observer from the object.

• A representation of mental states.

What is the equation for luminance?

• Luminance = Reflectance + Illumination.

• Luminance = Illumination × Reflectance.

• Luminance = Acceleration × Force.

• Luminance = Surface area × Volume.

What must the mind infer to determine reflectance (R)?

• The luminance (L).

• The illumination (I).

• The acceleration (A).

• The computational algorithm.

How does the mind infer reflectance (R)?

• By assuming reflectance directly correlates with luminance.

• By using environmental cues and assumptions.

• By ignoring illumination.

• By applying surface area calculations.

Which stimulus predicts task responses?

• Proximal stimulus.

• Distal stimulus.

• Input stimulus.

• Illumination stimulus.

What are the steps in the inference process?

• Output, computation, input.

• Computation, illumination, task response.

• Input stimulus, computation, output response.

• Reflectance, luminance, assumption.
