Light of intensity 2.00 W/m2 passes through the pupil of one of your eyes and eventually falls on your retina. The radius of the

pupil is controlled by the iris. In a human eye, the radius of the pupil can vary from about 1.0 mm to about 3.5 mm. The area of the opening can be calculated from pi (3.1416) times the radius squared. If your pupil is open to a radius of 2.5 mm, how much light energy passes through in one minute

Answer:

Explanation:

Intensity of light, I = 2 W/m²

radius of pupil open, r = 2.5 mm = 2.5 x 10^-3 m

time, t = 1 min = 60 second

Energy passes, E = intensity x area x time

E = 2 x 3.14 x 2.5 x 2.5 x 10^-6 x 60

E = 2.36 x 10^-3 Joule

Find the velocity, acceleration, and speed of a particle with the given position function. r(t = t2i 6tj 4 ln t k
artcher [175]
1st derivative gives velocity;
d r(t)/ dt = 2t i + 6 j + 4/t k

2nd derivative gives acceleration;
d^2 r(t)/ dt^2 = 2 i - 4/ t^2

Speed ;
Square root of (4 t^2 + 36 + 16/ t^2)

For a given time, like 2 seconds, t will be 2. And answer of speed will be scalar.

Two stars have the same radius but have very different temperatures. the red star has a surface temperature of 3,000 k and the b
dangina [55]
I would say that insofar as the two stars temperatures are presumably closely related to their luminosity, that the blue star at 156,100 k compared to 3000k for the red star then the blue star has a luminosity of 52 times that of the red star.

A 0.49-kg cord is stretched between two supports, 7.8m apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave travels
katovenus [111]

To solve this problem we will apply the laws of Mersenne. Mersenne's laws are laws describing the frequency of oscillation of a stretched string or monochord, useful in musical tuning and musical instrument construction. This law tells us that the velocity in a string is directly proportional to the root of the applied tension, and inversely proportional to the root of the linear density, that is,

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

Here,

v = Velocity

\mu= Linear density (Mass per  unit length)

T = Tension

Rearranging to find the Period we have that

T = v^2 \mu

T = v^2 (\frac{m}{L})

As we know that speed is equivalent to displacement in a unit of time, we will have to

T = (\frac{L}{t}) ^2(\frac{m}{L})

T = (\frac{7.8}{0.83})^2 (\frac{0.49}{7.8})

T = 5.54N

Therefore the tension is 5.54N

A solid circular plate has a mass of 0.25 kg and a radius of 0.30 m. It starts rolling from rest at the top of a hill 10 m long
KATRIN_1 [288]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the conservation of both <em>kinetic of rolling objects</em> and potential energy and the moment of inertia.

The net height from the point where it begins to roll with an inclination of 30 degrees would be

h=Lsin30

h=10sin30

h=5m

In the case of Inertia would be given by

I = \frac{mR^2}{2}

In general, given an object of mass m, an effective radius k can be defined for an axis through its center of mass, with such a value that its moment of inertia is

I = mk^2

\frac{mR^2}{2}= mk^2

\frac{k^2}{R^2}=\frac{1}{2}

Replacing in Energy conservation Equation we have that

Potential Energy = Kinetic Energy of Rolling Object

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2(1+\frac{k^2}{r^2})

9.8*5=\frac{1}{2}v^2(1+\frac{1}{2})

v^2 (1.5) = 98

v=8.0829m/s

Therefore the correct answer is C.
