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 controlle

d 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? Give your answer in kilojoules.

Answer:

(2.357 × 10⁻³) J = (2.357 × 10⁻⁶) KJ

Explanation:

Power = flux × (cross sectional area)

Q = q × A

Power = Q = ?

Flux = q = 2.00 W/m²

Cross sectional Area of the eye = A = πr²

r = radius of the eye at the moment that the calculation is required = 2.5 mm = 0.0025 m

A = πr² = π(0.0025)² = 0.0000196428 m²

A = (1.964 × 10⁻⁵) m²

Q = q × A

Q = 2 × 1.964 × 10⁻⁵

Q = (3.929 × 10⁻⁵) W

Power = (Energy/time)

Energy = Power × Time

Power = (3.929 × 10⁻⁵) W

Time = 1 minute = 1 × 60 = 60 s

Energy = (3.929 × 10⁻⁵ × 60)

Energy = 0.002357 J = (2.357 × 10⁻³) J

In Kilojoules,

Energy = (2.357 × 10⁻⁶) KJ

The force generated by a single muscle fiber can be increased by increasing is called
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The force generated by a single muscle fiber can be increased by increasing the frequency of action potentials

Explanation:

The force generated by a muscle fiber is the result of the shortening of the skeletal muscle, and this force is also know as muscle tension. The larger motor units shorten along with the smaller units to produce the muscle force. The time lapsed between the beginning of the action potential in the muscle and the beginning of the contraction is the latent period. Action potential is the result of the difference electrical potential as a result of passage of an impulse along the membrane of a muscle or nerve cell.

A ball is projected upward at time t = 0.0 s, from a point on a roof 70 m above the ground. The ball rises, then falls and strik
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The velocity of a ball will be "-70.13 m/s".

Explanation:

The given values are:

u = 70 m

t = 0.0 s

g = a = -9.8 m/s²

s = -1 m

v = ?

As we know,

The equation of motion will be:

⇒  v^2-u^2=2as

On substituting the estimated values, we get

⇒  v^2-(70)^2=2\times (-9.8)\times (-1)

⇒  v^2-4900=19.6

⇒  v^2=19.6+4900

⇒  v^2=4919.6

⇒  v=\sqrt{4919.6}

⇒  v=70.13 \ m/s

In downward direction, it will be:

⇒  v=-70.13 \ m/s

Which symbol in the first law of thermodynamics represents the sum of the chemical and thermal energy stored in atoms and molecu
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

U

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that:

\Delta U = Q-W

where

U is the internal energy of the gas, which represents the sum of the chemical and thermal energy stored in the atoms and molecules of the gas

\Delta U represents the variation of internal energy

Q is the heat absorbed by the system

W is the work done by the system

So, the sum of the chemical and thermal energy stored in atoms and molecules is represented by U, the internal energy.
