Humans can see several thousand shades of color but have cone photoreceptors that are sensitive to only three (perhaps four) wav

elengths of light. What is the best explanation for why we see so many colors?
Select one:
a.Color perception is dependent on the millions of rods as well as cone photoreceptors.
b.Color perception is achieved by activation of various combinations between the three cone types.
c.Shades of color are purely psychological and learned by association with age, infants only seeing in black and white. Incorrect
d. Colors are added and enhanced in the primary visual cortex of the brain.

Answer:

B. Color perception is achieved by activation of various combinations between the tree cone types.

Explanation:

Human eye have only three photo receptor ( three wavelength) but they can see several thousands of shades of color because color perception is gained by combination of these three wave length cone types ( RED, BLUE AND GREEN) into various combinations. Our retina have two types of cell:- cone cells and cylindrical cells. Cone cells are responsible for the identification of color.

When a pitcher throws a baseball, it reaches a top speed of 39 m/s. if the
Aliun [14]

From the calculation, the acceleration of the body is 26m/s^2.

<h3>What is motion under gravity?</h3>

When an object is thrown up or down, the motion of the body is influenced by the gravitational pull on the body.

Now;

Given that;

v = 39 m/s

t = 1.5 s

u = 0 m/s

a = ?

v = u + at

v = at

a = v/t

a = 39 m/s/1.5 s

a = 26m/s^2

A brick falls to the ground. if the time for the collision of the brick and the ground is increased by a factor of 4, the force
melomori [17]

Answer:

By a factor of 1/4.

Explanation:

The impulse force that applies to an object undergoing rapid deceleration just before coming to a stop on the ground is given by the following formula,

\\\begin{aligned}\\\small F &=\small \frac{\Delta (mV)}{\Delta T}\end{aligned}

in which \small \Delta (mV) , \small \Delta t represent the change in momentum and the time taken for that change.

If one increases the time that is taken for the momentum change (which remains constant for this situation) by a factor 4 and if that new force is represented by \small F_1, the following manipulation confirms the answer to this question.

\begin{aligned}\\\small F_1 &=\small \frac{\Delta (mV)}{4\Delta t}\\\\&=\small \frac{1}{4}\times\bigg[\frac{\Delta (mV)}{\Delta t}\bigg]\\\\&=\small \frac{1}{4}F\end{aligned}

Here \small F is the force that was applied to the object previously.
