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.

At one instant, a 17.0-kg sled is moving over a horizontal surface of snow at 4.10 m/s. After 6.15 s has elapsed, the sled stops
jasenka [17]

Answer:

force = 11.33 kg-m/s^{2}

Explanation:

given data:

sled mass = 17.0 kg

inital velocity (U) = 4.10 m/s

elapsed time (T) 6.15 s

final velocity (V) = 0

final momentum P2 = 0

Initial momentum of sledge is

P_{1}=mU

P_{1}= 17.0 * 4.10 = 69.7 kg- m/s

from newton second law of motion

F=\frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}

F = \frac{P_{1}-P_{2}}{T}

Kgm/s^2

F = \frac{69.7-0}{6.15}= 11.33[tex]kg-m/s^{2}[/tex]

Define orbital velocity
sveta [45]

the Orbital Velocity is the velocity sufficient to cause a natural or artificial satellite to remain in orbit. Inertia of the moving body tends to make it move on in a straight line, while gravitational force tends to pull it down. The orbital path, elliptical or circular, representing a balance between gravity and inertia, and it follows a rue that states that the more massive the body at the centre of attraction is, the higher is the orbital velocity for a particular altitude or distance.

Explain the role of energy in changes <br> of state.
slava [35]
A liquid requires enthalpy of vaporization to transform into vapor or gas at its boiling point.  Here the element absorbs heat from surroundings or heat source.

This energy is used in breaking the forces of attraction among the atoms and molecules of the element. The molecules get separated to higher distances. The energy is converted in to the kinetic energy of the molecules in gaseous form and into the internal energy in terms of the temperature of the gas.

Ammonia gas occupies a volume of 0.450 L at a pressure of 96 kPa. What
Sauron [17]

Answer:

0.426 L

Explanation:

Boyles law is expressed as p1v1=p2v2 where

P1 is first pressure, v1 is first volume

P2 is second pressure, v2 is second volume.

Given information

P1=96 kPa, v1=0.45 l

P2=101.3 kpa

Unknown is v2

Making v2 the subject from Boyle's law

v2=\frac {p1v1}{p2}

Substituting the given values then

v2=\frac {96*0.45}{101.3}=0.4264560710760l\approx 0.426 l

Therefore, the volume is approximately 0.426 L

An object accelerates from rest and travels 53 m west in 5.2 s. Determine the acceleration
zmey [24]

Answer:

20.4m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Distance  = 53m

Time  = 5.2s

Unknown:

Acceleration  = ?

Solution:

This is a linear motion and we use the right motion equation;

        S = ut  + \frac{1}{2}at²

S is the distance

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

 Insert the parameters and solve;

       53  = (0x 5.2) +  \frac{1}{2} x a x 5.2

       53  = 2.6a

         a = \frac{53}{2.6}  = 20.4m/s²
