<h2>Answer: Sensory adaptation</h2>

Explanation:

Sensory adaptation refers to the adjustment of the sensory capacity of a person following prolonged exposure to stimuli.

To better understand this, it is necessary to explain that environmental stimuli cause a change in the sensitivity of a person's sensory receptors. Then, depending on the type of environmental stimulus, the determined receptor will be stimulated (related to the five main senses of the human being: sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing).

However, when a person gets used to a stimulus, adaptation occurs. Therefore, <u>it will not respond to the stimulus in the same way as it did before. </u>

A very common example is the relation with the smells (olfactory sense), because people get used quickly to the smells that surround them and then they stop "perceiving" the smell.

A force of 200 N is applied at piston A, which has a surface area of 4
stira [4]

Answer:

60 cm²

Explanation:

Pressure = Force / Surface area

This is a 2 stage problem which requires working out pressure of piston A and then using that pressure from piston A to calculate the surface area of piston B

Firstly work out pressure of Piston A:

Pressure = 200 / 4

Pressure = 50 N/cm²

Then work out the Surface area of piston B :

Since the pressure is transferred the pressure stays the same so :

Surface area = Force / Pressure

Surface area = 3000 / 50

Surface area = 60 cm²

A film of oil lies on wet pavement. The refractive index of the oil exceeds that of the water. The film has the minimum nonzero
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Explanation:

For destructive interference , the condition is

2μt = nλ

2μt = n x 678

For constructive interference , the condition is

2μt = (2n+1)λ₁ /2

n x 678 = (2n+1)λ₁ /2

λ₁ = 1356 n / ( 2n + 1 )

λ₁ = 1356  / ( 2 + 1/n )

For longest wavelength , denominator should be smallest or n should be largest . The longest value of n is infinity so

λ₁ = 1356  /  2

= 678 nm .

Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

M1 = 16.9 mA

M2 = 0 A

Explanation:

As the ratio of the two sets of series resistors is almost exactly identical, there is no voltage difference across M2 to cause current flow

269/(269 + 439) = 0.3799...

500/(500 + 815) = 0.38022

M2 = 0

M1 sees only the current flowing through the far left resistors in series

A = V/R = 12/(269 + 439) = 0.016949... ≈ 16.9 mA

When electrons are shared unequally a/an<br> bond is formed
givi [52]
Covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between atoms and are attracted by the nuclei of both atoms. In pure covalent bonds, the electrons are shared equally. In polar covalent bonds, the electrons are shared unequally, as one atom exerts a stronger force of attraction on the electrons than the other.
