Good afternoon, the  answer is  D.Retina. because The retina is a thin layer of tissue that lines the back of the eye on the inside. It is located near the optic nerve. The purpose of the retina is to receive light that the lens has focused, convert the light into neural signals, and send these signals on to the brain for visual recognition.

The retina processes light through a layer of photoreceptor cells. These are essentially light-sensitive cells, responsible for detecting qualities such as color and light-intensity. The retina processes the information gathered by the photoreceptor cells and sends this information to the brain via the optic nerve. Basically, the retina processes a picture from the focused light, and the brain is left to decide what the picture is.

Due to the retina's vital role in vision, damage to it can cause permanent blindness. Conditions such as retinal detachment, where the retina is abnormally detached from its usual position, can prevent the retina from receiving or processing light. This prevents the brain from receiving this information, thus leading to blindness.

1. Spring force is proportional to stretch distance, F=kd. Do you expect doubling the stretch distance double the force?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The spring force is given as:

          F  = kd

F is the spring force

K is the spring constant

d is the magnitude of the stretch

 Since k is a constant, therefore, doubling the stretch distance will double the force.

Both stretch distance and force applied can be said to be directly proportional to one another.

The correct formula for copper (I) bromide is —
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The correct formula is the first one.

Explanation:

Copper has two valences I and II, in this example, it's mentioned that copper's valence is I.

Then we have to look in all the formulas for one formula where copper has that valence, and that valence is in formula 1 and 3. Number 4 is discarted that formula is incorrect, that formula doesn't exist.

Number 2 is also discarted because in this formula Cu has a valence of 2.

Number three is discarted because here Bromide has a valence of 2 and that is incorrect, Bromide's valence is 1.

A brave child decides to grab onto an already spinning merry‑go‑round. The child is initially at rest and has a mass of 25.5 kg.
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

72.75 kg m^2

Explanation:

initial angular velocity, ω = 35 rpm

final angular velocity, ω' =  19 rpm

mass of child, m = 15.5 kg

distance from the centre, d = 1.55 m

Let the moment of inertia of the merry go round is I.

Use the concept of conservation of angular momentum

I ω = I' ω'

where I' be the moment of inertia of merry go round and child

I x 35 = ( I + md^2) ω'

I x 35 = ( I + 25.5 x 1.55 x 1.55) x 19

35 I = 19 I + 1164

16 I = 1164

I = 72.75 kg m^2

Thus, the moment of inertia of the merry go round is 72.75 kg m^2.

A boy is moving a stone in a horizontal circle by mean of a thread attached to ut. The length if the threads us 1 m and the weig
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a centripetal force problem where tension supplies the centripetal force needed to keep the stone moving in a circular manner. That formula for that is

F_c=T=\frac{mv^2}{r} and filling in what we know:

1*10^{-4}=\frac{.02v^2}{1} and solve that for v:

v=\sqrt{\frac{1*10^{-4}}{.02} } which gives us a velocity of .07 m/s. Anything greater than this will break the string.
