Why are we not able to see immediate after we enter a dark hall from a lighter place.

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 />

When a mass of 0.350 kg is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 0.120 m. The mass is now displ
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Time period of the oscillation will be 0.695 sec

Explanation:

We have given mass attached to the string m = 0.350 kg

The spring is stretched by 0.120 m

So x = 0.120 m

We know that force is given by F = Kx

So mg = kx

0.350\times 9.8=k\times 0.120

k = 28.5833

Now time period is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}=2\times 3.14\sqrt{\frac{0.35}{28.5833}}=0.695sec

So time period of the oscillation will be 0.695 sec

Explain nuclear reactions, nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Nuclear reaction is a reaction in which nucleus of the atom undergoes a change.

Nuclear fusion is a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

Example : 4_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+2_{+1}^0\textrm{e}+\text{energy}

Nuclear fission is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

Example: _{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_0^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{56}^{143}Ba+_{36}^{90}Kr+3_0^1\textrm{n}

A solid cylinder of mass 20kg rolls without slipping down a 30° slope. Find the acceleration and the frictional force needed to
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

a = 3.27 m/s²

F = 32.7 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are three forces:

Weight force mg pulling straight down.

Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the slope.

Friction force F pushing parallel up the slope.

Sum of forces in the parallel direction:

∑F = ma

mg sin θ − F = ma

Sum of torques about the cylinder's axis:

∑τ = Iα

Fr = ½ mr²α

F = ½ mrα

Since the cylinder rolls without slipping, a = αr.  Substituting:

F = ½ ma

Two equations, two unknowns (a and F).  Substituting the second equation into the first:

mg sin θ − ½ ma = ma

Multiply both sides by 2/m:

2g sin θ − a = 2a

Solve for a:

2g sin θ = 3a

a = ⅔ g sin θ

a = ⅔ (9.8 m/s²) (sin 30°)

a = 3.27 m/s²

Solving for F:

F = ½ ma

F = ½ (20 kg) (3.27 m/s²)

F = 32.7 N
