Part I

In extension to measuring the amount of light that enters the eye, the pupillary light reflex presents a helpful diagnostic tool. It provides for examining the uprightness of the sensory and motor functions of the eye. if your pupils didn't shut suddenly when abruptly disclosed to light, you'll get a tremendous shot of light (simultaneously with UV rays and other possibly dangerous rays) to your retina, which can severely mess up your vision.

Part II

Without it, we would go blind. If there is not sufficient light and the pupils do not dilate, a small number of light will pass to the retina and the image will be damaged.

Pupils dilate and constrict in order to allow an adequate amount of light to pass through the retina and vision. If there is not enough light and the pupils do not dilate, a small amount of light will pass to the retina and the vision will be damaged.

<h2>ANSWER: </h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>TYPES OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS:</h2>

There are two types of Reactions,

<h3>Endothermic Reactions: </h3>

Endothermic reactions are the type chemical reaction in which the reactants absorb heat energy from the surroundings. The energy of reactants is more than the energy of product

<h3>Exothermic Reactions: </h3>

Exothermic reactions are the type of chemical reactions in which release of energy takes place in the form of heat or light. In an exothermic reaction, energy is released. The energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3 /><h3>In Question number 5,</h3>

The key word is "RELEASE". The reaction in which energy is released is the Exothermic reaction thus the Option B that is EXOTHERMIC REACTION is correct.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3 /><h3>In Question number 6</h3>

It is asking that which process stores the energy that means it is asking which process undergoes endothermic reaction. The answer is Option C that is PHOTOSYNTHESIS is correct.

<h3>__________________________________________________</h3><h3>WHY PHOTOSYNTHESIS?</h3>

Because, sunlight is being absorbed during the reaction and according to the definition of endothermic reaction if heat is being absorbed it is termed as an endothermic reaction.

In a simple harmonic motion, when the displacement from the equilibrium position is at its maximum,
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

The correct answer is option B

When the displacement in the harmonic motion is maximum then kinetic energy at the maximum point is minimum and the potential energy is maximum at that point.  

So, when the displacement is maximum, spring force magnitude is also maximum because the force is proportional to the displacement and also the magnitude of the acceleration is maximum so, the net force is also maximum.

A proton and an electron are released from rest, with only the electrostatic force acting. Which of the following statements mus
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

their electrical potential energy decreases. True, because of the negative sign as the distance decreases, it becomes more negative.

The kinetic energy increases. True, the force is attractive as the distance decreases the force increases, so acceleration and therefore the speed

Explanation:

The only force between the proton and the electron is electric

      Fe = k q1q2 / r2

      Fe = - k e2 / r2

We can see that it is an attractive force (negative sign)

The electric power energy is

       U = k q1 q2 / r

       U = -k e2 / r

 

The kinetic energy is

       K = ½ m v2

With the expressions for each term we can analyze the sentences :

Their electric potential energy increases. False,

their electrical potential energy decreases. True, because of the negative sign as the distance decreases, it becomes more negative.

The kinetic energy increases. True, the force is attractive as the distance decreases the force increases, so acceleration and therefore the speed

Kinetic energy decreases False

The acceleration decreases.  False, as the force increases so does the acceleration
