Technically this is a Biology question;

The 'amount' we can see depends on how much light can get through our pupil to hit our retina.
When there is a lot of light the pupil is small; it doesn't need to be big to let a lot of light in.
When we move to a dark space there is much less light, so the pupil 'dilates' to let enough light so we can see properly.
The period in which one cant see is simply when the pupil hasn't had time to change shape yet so doesn't let in enough light.<span />

A car is strapped to a rocket (combined mass = 661 kg), and its kinetic energy is 66,120 J.
aliina [53]

Answer:

9.43 m/s

Explanation:

First of all, we calculate the final kinetic energy of the car.

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on the car is equal to its change in kinetic energy:

W=K_f - K_i

where

W = -36.733 J is the work done on the car (negative because the car is slowing down, so the work is done in the direction opposite to the motion of the car)

K_f is the final kinetic energy

K_i = 66,120 J is the initial kinetic energy

Solving,

K_f = K_i + W = 66,120 + (-36,733)=29,387 J

Now we can find the final speed of the car by using the formula for kinetic energy

K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m = 661 kg is the mass of the car

v is its final speed

Solving for v, we find

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K_f}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(29,387)}{661}}=9.43 m/s
