Answer: B. bending light

Explanation:

The phenomenom of vision in human eye is thanks to refraction (when light changes its direction as it passes through one medium to another), and this is what the cornea and the lens do.

When the ray of light encounters the eye, the first thing it finds is the cornea, which bends this ray and begins to form an image, then light passes through the pupil, which is in charge of regulating the amount of light that enters in the eye.

After light travels through pupil it passes through the lens, where the rays of light change the direction again in order to focus the formed image on the retina.

At this point it is important to note the formed image is downward, then the retina transforms light into electrical impulses that are sent to the brain through the optic nerve and finally the brain interprets these messages, and forms a right upward image.

In the image attached these parts can be seen.

A 2kg ball is thrown with an acceleration of 15m/s2. A 2kg ball is thrown with an acceleration of 10m/s2. Which ball

DerKrebs [107]

A :-) for this question , we should apply
F = ma
( i ) Given - m = 2 kg
a = 15 m/s^2
Solution :
F = ma
F = 2 x 15
F = 30 N

( ii ) Given - m = 2 kg
a = 10 m/s^2
Solution :
F = ma
F = 2 x 10
F = 20 N

.:. The net force of object ( i ) has greater force compared to object ( ii ) by
( 30 - 20 ) 10 N

A source of sound is kept in a jar in a vacuum. Air is slowly introduced in to the jar. What happens to the sound coming out of

timama [110]

The loudness of the sound increases gradually as the air is slowly introduced in to the jar. This is because sound needs a physical medium and in a vacuum there is none. The air provides that medium and as it is introduced, the transfer of sound energy increases

Mercury has a density of 13.56 g/mL. How many kilograms of mercury would you expect to fit in a cylindrical glass cup with a bot

vovangra [49]

Answer:

263.152kg

Explanation:

The density of a substance is related to its mass and volume as follows;

density = mass / volume

mass = density x volume -------------(i)

The substance in question here is mercury which has;

density = 13.56g/mL = 13.56g/cm³

Since the mercury is going to be put in the cylindrical glass, the volume of the cylindrical glass is going to be equal to the volume of the mercury that will be put.

And we know that the;

volume of a cylinder = πr²h

Where;

π = 3.142

r = bottom radius of the cylinder = 5.75inches

h = height of the cylinder = 0.950ft

For uniformity, let's convert the radius and height of the cylinder to their corresponding values in cm

r = 5.75 inches = 5.75 x 2.54 cm = 14.605cm

h = 0.950 ft = 0.950 x 30.48 cm = 28.956cm

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder;

v = 3.142 x (14.605cm)² x 28.956cm = 19406.5cm³

v = 19406.5cm³ [This is also the volume of the mercury necessary to fit the cylinder]

Now the following value has been found;

volume = 19406.5cm³

Substitute the values of density and volume into equation (i) as follows;

mass = 19406.5cm³ x 13.56g/cm³

mass = 263152.14g

Convert the result to kg by dividing by 1000

mass = 263.152kg

Therefore, 263.152kg kilograms of mercury would fit in the cylindrical glass.
