The best answer is C."the brain interprets the size of the images"
Because, light reflects off the things in the world, then is focussed by our eye's lens. The light changes the light image we are seeing from the distal stimulus(or 3 diminutional world) to the proximal stimulus(or 2 dimensional world), but the image is not actually interpreted until it passes through the retina and optic nerve. The retina converts light into electrical impulses and the optic nerve carries those impulses to the brain. The Brain then changes the electrical impulses into a visual image.

Exactly the same way that you can photograph a mountain or a skyscraper
with the itty bitty camera in your smartphone.

Lenses are used to form a tiny image of a gigantic object.

The melting of polar ice is one effect of
Stels [109]
The melting of polar ice is one effect of the greenhouse effect, or also global warming.

The greenhouse effect, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is "the <span>warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of a planet (as Earth or Venus) that is caused by conversion of solar radiation into heat in a process involving selective transmission of short wave solar radiation by the atmosphere, its absorption by the planet's surface, and reradiation as infrared which is absorbed and partly reradiated back to the surface by atmospheric gases".

In short, "</span>the warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of a planet".

Perform the following calculations and give your answer with the correct number of significant figures
love history [14]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

a. 0.1886 x 12 =2.2632

This has 2 sig figures so the answer can only have 2 sig figures

2.3

b. 2.995 - 0.16685 =2.82815

The most accurate in the problem is to thousands place so our answer can only be accurate to the thousands place

2.828

c. 910 x 0.18945=172.3995

The  least number of significant figures is 3 so the answer can only have 3 significant figures

Alex pushes on a 2.0 kg book, resulting in a net force of 6.0 N on the book.
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

<h2>3.0 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a  = \frac{f}{m}  \\

From the question we have

a =  \frac{6}{2}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>3.0 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
