"Accomodation" is the name we give to our eyes' ability to change their
focus for different distances.

Our eye does this by changing the thickness of its lens, making the lens
thicker to see nearer things, and thinner to see distant things.

The lens in the eye is suspended by a circular muscle all around it.
The muscle can pull on the circumference of the lens to make it wider
and thinner, or relax to make it narrower and thicker.

In the modern age of medical miracles that we live in, if the lens of
a person's eye is injured or becomes cloudy, an ophthalmologist can
replace it with an artificial one, and the person can see again ! But then,
the process of accommodation doesn't work any more. That artificial lens
stays focused at the same distance all the time, and the person needs
glasses for other distances.

I can tell you that it's not really a big deal. The lenses in BOTH of my eyes
developed "cataracts", and were replaced with artificial lenses.
I had a choice ! I could have lenses that are good for distance, and wear
glasses for reading. OR I could choose lenses that are good for reading
and put on glasses to see things in the distance. I chose lenses for distance.
I can SEE again, and I put on reading glasses when I'm reading.

It's really a miracle when you think about it.

Answer from: Quest

the grams of oxygen gas that can be produced is 20.6 grams of o₂

calculation

2liclo₃ → 2 licl + 3 o₂

step 1: find the moles of liclo₃

moles = mass÷ molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of liclo₃ =6.9 +35.5 +(16 x3) =90.4 g/mol

moles=38.7 g÷90.4 g/mol=0.4281 moles

step 2: use the mole ratio to calculate the moles of o2

from equation above, liclo₃: o₂ is 2: 3

therefore the moles of o₂=0.4281 moles x3/2 =0.6422 moles

step 3: find mass of o₂

mass= moles x molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of o₂ = 16 x2= 32 g/mol

mass=0.6422 moles x 32 g/mol = 20.6 grams of o₂

An insurance company wants to know if the average speed at which men drive cars is higher than that of women drivers. the company took a random sample of 27 cars driven by men on a highway and found the mean speed to be 72 miles per hour with a standard deviation of 2.2 miles per hour. another sample of 18 cars driven by women on the same highway gave a mean speed of 68 miles per hour with a standard deviation of 2.5 miles per hour. assume that the speeds at which all men and all women drive cars on this highway are both approximately normally distributed with unknown and unequal population standard deviations.

Pl asaaap ! match the term to the correct description. a type of wave that transfers energy where the particles in the medium move perpendicular to the direction in which the energy is traveling. a type of wave that transfers energy where the particles in the medium move parallel to the direction in which the energy is traveling. movement that is back and forth, like an equal sign = a type of wave that transfers energy where the particles in the medium move in a circle motion while the energy travels left or right. movement that is like a t transfers energy from one location to another 1. wave 2. parallel movement 3. perpendicular movement 4. transverse wave 5. longitudinal wave 6. surface wave
