Which statement explains why looking at a dimly lit object with peripheral vision at night results in the clearest image of the

object? When one looks to the side of an object:
A.two images of the object are sent to the brain, which results in a clearer image.
B.its image falls in the periphery of the retina, which is denser in rods.
C.its image falls on the fovea, which results in the clearest image.
D.a single image of the object is sent to the brain, which results in a clearer image.

Answer:

Option C. Its image falls on the periphery of the retina, denser in rods

Explanation:

This can be explained as the photo receptors present in the outer periphery are more sensitive to light and enable us to see clearly dimly lit objects.

Also the peripheral vision is the the one on the retinal periphery which is highly rich in concentration of rods than cones and thus a dimly lit object at night with peripheral vision gives a clearer image of the object.

The central vision makes use of the central part, i.e., fovea which is dense with the concentration of cones, photo-receptors which enable us to see different colors and functions well in bright light.

A transformer has a secondary voltage of 140 volts and a secondary current of 3.5 amps. if the primary current is 10 amps, what
Lynna [10]

For an ideal transformer power loss is assumed to be zero

i.e. the power in primary coil due to input voltage must be equal to power in secondary coil due to output voltage

this can be written in form of equation

V_1 i_1 = V_2 i_2

here we know that

V_2 = 140 volts

i_2 = 3.5 A

i_1 = 10 A{/tex]now we will use above equation[tex]140*3.5 = 10 * V_1

V_1 = 49 volts

So primary coil voltage is 49 Volts

A bicycle pump contains 200 cm3 of air and is connected to a bicycle tyre. The volume of the tyre is 800 cm3. The pressure of th
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The total volume of the air is 1000 cubic centimeters.

Explanation:

Since the bicycle pump and the bicycle tyre have the same pressure, then the total volume of the air is the sum of the volume of each element, then we translate this into the following artihmetical expression:

V = 200\,cm^{3}+800\,cm^{3}

V = 1000\,cm^{3}

The total volume of the air is 1000 cubic centimeters.

In models of magnetic and electric fields, why are field vectors depicted by arrows?
taurus [48]

The arrows in models of magnetic and electric fields show  both their magnitude and direction.

In Physics, a vector refers to a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Hence, a vector always points in a given direction. The direction in which the arrow points is the direction of the vector in space.

In models of magnetic and electric fields, field vectors depicted by arrows  because they represent both their magnitude and direction. The length of the arrow shows magnitude.

kaheart [24]

Answer:

You are a guest magician in a circus. One of your tricks is to place a football on an inclined plane without the football rolling over is explained below in details.

Explanation:

spinning ball halts after traveling some range due to friction energy act different direction of movement of the ball. you can observe in the figure.

Let any rolling ball of mass (m ) is traveling with velocity v ,

common effect on ball (N) = mg

because of motion, friction energy develops on the contact exterior and begins to resist the movement of the rolling ball.

hence,

fr = uN = umg act on communicating exterior, so, after any time due to friction energy rolling ball gets to rest.
