What is accommodation in the eye? how are the muscles involved in this process?

"Accomodation" is the name we give to our eyes' ability to change their
focus for different distances. 

Our eye does this by changing the thickness of its lens, making the lens
thicker to see nearer things, and thinner to see distant things.

The lens in the eye is suspended by a circular muscle all around it.
The muscle can pull on the circumference of the lens to make it wider
and thinner, or relax to make it narrower and thicker.

In the modern age of medical miracles that we live in, if the lens of
a person's eye is injured or becomes cloudy, an ophthalmologist can
replace it with an artificial one, and the person can see again !  But then,
the process of accommodation doesn't work any more.  That artificial lens
stays focused at the same distance all the time, and the person needs
glasses for other distances.

I can tell you that it's not really a big deal.  The lenses in BOTH of my eyes
developed "cataracts", and were replaced with artificial lenses. 
I had a choice !  I could have lenses that are good for distance, and wear
glasses for reading.  OR I could choose lenses that are good for reading
and put on glasses to see things in the distance.  I chose lenses for distance. 
I can SEE again, and I put on reading glasses when I'm reading.  

It's really a miracle when you think about it.

Are all liquids able to conduct an electric current
Alona [7]

The ions are able to carry electric current through a solution. Some liquids such as oil or alcohol do not form ions and do not conduct electricity. Vinegar is mostly water with a small amount of acetic acid in it. The acetic acid separates into ions on so that the solution conducts electricity.     BRAINLIST ME PEASE

Two identical 3.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal surface in
DedPeter [7]

The magnitude of the force exerted by the left cube on the right cube is 17.64N.

<h3>What is frictional force?</h3>

When an object is moving on a rough surface, it experiences opposition. This opposing force is called the friction.

Two identical 3.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal surface in contact with one another. The cubes are lined up from left to right and a force F₁ is applied to the left side of the left cube causing both cubes to move at a constant speed v. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the cubes and the surface is 0.3.

From the equilibrium of forces in vertical direction

Normal force N= 2m x g

friction force f = μN =μ(2m)g

From the equilibrium of forces in horizontal direction

F₁ =ma =0

using Newton's third law of motion, we get

F₁  - f =0

F₁  =f = μ(2m)g

Put the values, we get

F₁  = 17.64N

Thus, magnitude of the force exerted by the left cube on the right cube is 17.64N.

Two cars, one of mass 1300 kg, and the second of mass 2400 kg, are moving at right angles to each other when they collide and st
Margarita [4]

To solve this problem we will apply the momentum conservation theorem, that is, the initial momentum of the bodies must be the same final momentum of the bodies. The value that will be obtained will be a vector value of the final speed of which the magnitude will be found later. Our values are given as,

m_1 = 1300kg

m_2 = 2400kg

u_1 = 12m/s i

u_2 = 18m/s j

Using conservation of momentum,

m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

1300*12i-2400*18j = (1300+2400)v_f

Solving for v_f

v_f = 4.2162i-11.6756j

Using the properties of vectors to find the magnitude we have,

|v| = \sqrt{(4.2162^2)+(-11.6756)^2}

|v| = 12.4135m/s

Therefore the magnitude of the velocity of the wreckage of the two cars immediately after the collision is 12.4135m/s
