Less than two hours have passed because time passes more slowly in areas with stronger gravitational fields.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Einstein discovered the concept called general relativity that is used to predict the space-time. Also, he found that the time and space were conjoined into a continuum as space-time. He proved that the space-time is wrapped and twisted due to the earth's rotation.

He also proved that time will not pass for everyone at the same rate. A fast-moving person can experience that time passing relatively slower than a person without motion. And this difference between the observation of time is called time dilation.

Also, when you are far away from the earth's surface the time goes faster than the time on the earth's surface. This phenomenon is known as gravitational time dilation.

While traveling to space, a huge amount of speed is required for a mass object to escape the strong gravitational force of the earth. Thus the strong gravity curves the space time and shows the time slower meanwhile the normal person in the earth has time running normally.

Which of the following statements describes the difference between physical and chemical (1 point)
Eddi Din [679]

Answer: Chemical weathering changes the composition of a rock, while physical weathering does not.

Explanation: The definition of a chemical change is a change that cannot be reversed and is caused by a chemical reaction. In this case, a chemical change to a rock would change the composition of the rock while physical changes may change the appearance of the rock, but not the composition.

It can be said that metabolism and homeostasis are related. Why can you not achieve homeostasis without metabolism?
Harrizon [31]

The right answer is A.

Metabolic homeostasis is provided by a set of interactions between the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral tissues. The CNS controls the periphery by regulating the fraction of energy that enters the body (caloric intake) and that which emerges from it.

To perform this role, the CNS receives signals from peripheral organs and provides information on peripheral metabolism, as well as the extent of the reserves available to the body.

Function of the rod cells<br>Responsible for vision at low light levels
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Rods are responsible for vision at low light levels (scotopic vision). They do not mediate color vision, and have a low spatial acuity. Cones are active at higher light levels (photopic vision), are capable of color vision and are responsible for high spatial acuity. The central fovea is populated exclusively by cones.
