Answer: They distinguish black, white, and gray.

Explanation:

In the human eye (specifically in the retina) there are two types of photoreceptors that convert light into electrical messages that are sent to the optic nerve, and then the image information is forwarded to the brain. These photoreceptors are the cones and the rods.

It should be noted that the rods are more numerous and sensitive than the cones, but they are not sensitive to color. This type of cells is responsible for peripheral vision and in a low light condition.

On the other hand, there are three types of cones:

-Those sensitive to red light

-Those sensitive blue light

-Those sensitive green light

Then, according to the explanation given and the options shown, the only one that is not true is:

They distinguish black, white, and gray.

Two long, parallel wires are attracted to each other by a force per unit length of 305 µN/m. One wire carries a current of 25.0

kykrilka [37]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to the electromagnetic force related to the bases founded by Coulumb, the mathematical expression is the following as a function of force per unit area:

$\frac{F}{L} = \frac{kl_1l_2}{d}$

Here,

F = Force

L = Length

k = Coulomb constant

I =Each current

d = Distance

Force of the wire one which is located along the line y to 0.47m is $305*10^{-6}N/m$ then we have

$l_2 = \frac{F}{L} (\frac{d}{kl_1})$

$l_2 = (305*10^{-6}N/m)(\frac{0.470m}{(2*10^{-7})(25A))})$

$l_2 = 28.67A$

Considering the B is zero at

$y = y_1$

$\frac{kI_2}{2\pi y} =\frac{kI_1}{2\pi y_1}$

$\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7})(28.67)}{2\pi (y_1)} = \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})(25)}{2\pi (0.47-y_1)}$

$y_1 = 0.25m$

Therefore the value of y for the line in the plane of the two wires along which the total B is zero is 0.25m

What three categories can every living thing in a forest ecosystem be sorted into

juin [17]

Answer:

Producers

Consumers

Decomposers

Explanation:

The three categories in which every living thing in a forest ecosystem can be sorted into are producers, consumers and decomposers.

The producers as the name implies manufactures food for the whole of the ecosystem. They take inorganic materials from the environment and convert them into useful food materials. All plants are producers and some micro-organisms.

Animals are consumers and they take up the produced food for their own nourishment and life activities.

Decomposers recycles materials in the ecosystem by converting wastes generated by producers and consumers into useful products that returns to the atmosphere or replenishes soil nutrients.

50POINTS PLEASE HELP SPACE QUESTION

leonid [27]

Regardless of the time of year, the northern and southern hemispheres always experience opposite seasons. This is because during summer or winter, one part of the planet is more directly exposed to the rays of the Sun than the other, and this exposure alternates as the Earth revolves in its orbit.
