What is the function of the cornea?

Physics
1 answer:
Helen [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: B

Its muscles control its shape to help focus light.

Explanation:

The main function of a cornea is to help focusing the light ray into the eye lens.

Eyelids opening allows light rays to enter the eye.

While optic nerve  inner surface sends nerve impulses to the brain.

Cornea can also function as a window lens that focuses light into the eye lens with its ability to refract and bend light into the eye lens.

3) A charged particle is moving with velocity of V in a magnetic field of B, which one of the followings is correct: A) The dire
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

<em>D) The force F is perpendicular (normal) to both velocity V and magnetic field B.</em>

Explanation:

When a charged particle enters a magnetic field, it experiences a force which changes its direction of travel. The direction of motion of the charged particle, the magnetic field direction, and the direction of the force, are all perpendicular to one another. According to Lorentz right hand rule, hold the right hand parallel to the ground, with the palm facing up, and the thumb held out at right angle to the other fingers. If the direction of the other fingers represents the magnetic field line and direction, and the thumb represents the direction of motion of a positively charged particle, then, the palm will push up in the direction of the force. For a negatively charged particle, the force will push down in the direction of the back of the hand.

What is the shortest possible time in which a bacterium could travel a distance of 8.4cm across a Petri dish at a constant speed
Dmitriy789 [7]

8.4 cm = 84 mm

If the little bug travels in a straight line and never stops,
then the time it takes him is just  (distance)/(speed).

       (84mm) / (3.5 mm/sec) = 24 seconds

What is the physics definition of work? How is work calculated? How would you calculate the amount of work done in a slapshot.
loris [4]

Answer:

1) Work is a measure of energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by an external force at least part of which is applied in the direction of the displacement. 2) Work is calculated through joules. 3) It's possible to calculate work by multiplying the amount of force applied by the distance that the force is applied. If we know the amount of force the stick applies to the puck and the distance that the stick is applying the force to the puck, we can figure out the amount of work done.

A 2-kg wood block is pulled by a string across a rough horizontal floor. The string exerts a tension force of 30 N on the block
Luden [163]

Answer:

Work done, W = 84.57 Joules

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the wooden block, m = 2 kg

Tension force acting on the string, F = 30 N

Angle made by the block with the horizontal, \theta=20^{\circ}

Distance covered by the block, d = 3 m

Let W is the work done by the tension force. It can be calculated as :

W=F\ cos\theta\times d

W=30\times cos(20)\times 3

W = 84.57 Joules

So, the work done by the tension force is 84.57 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

When area increases, pressure decreases. Find two situations where this principle is applied.
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pressure can be defined as the force per unit area hence there is an inverse relationship between pressure exerted by a substance and the area of that substance. For instance,

(1) if a bag of sand if filled with sand and an individual steps on this bag. The feet of he individual will form no shape/displace little sand sideways in the bag. But if the same quantity of sand is poured in a bigger bag (larger area) and the same individual stands on the bag, the feet of the individual will "sink" (decreased pressure from the bag) displacing some sand sideways.

(2) The straps of a bag are made wide (and not slim) so that the bag can exert lesser pressure on the shoulders when the same quantity of load is carried by the bag than if the straps were made narrow/slim.
