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.

When a net force of 17.0 newtons is applied to a dictionary placed on a frictionless table, it accelerates by 3.75 meters/second
4vir4ik [10]
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)    (Newton's second law of motion)

Divide both sides of the equation by 'acceleration', and you have

Mass = (force) / (acceleration)

Mass = 17 newtons / 3.75 meters per second-sqrd = 4.533 kilograms (rounded)
