Relative acuity of the human eye The fovea centralis (or fovea) is responsible for the sharp central vision that humans use for reading and other detail-oriented eyesight. The relative acuity of a human eye, which measures the sharpness of vision, is modeled by the function
where θ (in degrees) is the angular deviation of the line of sight from the center of the fovea (see figure).
- a. Graph R, for −15 ≤ θ ≤ 15.
- b. For what value of θ is R maximized? What does this fact indicate about our eyesight?
- c. For what values of θ do we maintain at least 90% of our maximum relative acuity? (Source: The Journal of Experimental Biology, 203, Dec 2000)

- (Heat transfer) The formula developed in Exercise 5 can be used to determine the cooling time, t, caused only by radiation, of each planet in the solar system. For convenience, this formula is repeated here (see Exercise 5 for a definition of each symbol): t=Nk2eAT3fin A=surfaceareaofasphere=4r2 N=numberofatoms=volumeofthespherevolumeofanatom Volume of a sphere sphere=43radius3 The volume of a single atom is approximately 11029m3 . Using this information and the current temperatures and radii listed in the following chart, determine the time it took each planet to cool to its current temperature, caused only by radiation.arrow_forwardMatlabarrow_forwarduse matlab plz No hand written and fast answer with explanationarrow_forward
- Computer Science R language Evaluate and plot the function f(x,y)=xe−x2−y2 over the 2-D grid. z = x*exp(-x^2-y^2)arrow_forwardThe (x, y) coordinates of the hand at the top of a robot arm are given by: x = L, cos(8,) + L, cos(8, + 0,) y = L, sin(0,) + L,sin(8, + 02) Where Li and L2 are the distances of the parts of the arm from the shoulder to the elbow and from the elbow to the hand, 01 and 02 are the angles that these parts make with the x-axis. These angles can be expressed as: 0,(t) = a,t5 + a,t“ + azt³ 02(t) = bịt5 + b;t + b3t³ where t is the time. We assume that the arm starts to move at t= 0s and stops at tf=2s. The conditions that the angular position G1(t), angular velocity and angular acceleration should meet at the final time tf = 2 (in sec) are expressed in the following matrix form and allow us to obtain the coefficients a1, az and a3: 25 24 23 3x22||a2 = [az.

- Matlab A rocket is launched vertically and at t-0, the rocket's engine shuts down. At that time, the rocket has reached an altitude of ho- 500 m and is rising at a velocity of t125 m/s. Gravity then takes over. The height of the rocket as a function of time is: h(t)- ho+vot-gt², t20 where g = 9.81 m/s². The time t=0 marks the time the engine shuts off. After this time, the rocket continues to rise and reaches a maximum height of himax meters at time t-tmax. Then, it begins to drop and reaches the ground at time t = tg. a. Create a vector for times from 0 to 30 seconds using an increment of 2 s. b. Use a for loop to compute h(t) for the time vector created in Part (a). e. Create a plot of the height versus time for the vectors defined in Part (a) and (b). Mark the z and y axes of the plot using appropriate labels. d. Noting that the rocket reaches a maximum height, Amax, when the height function, h(t), attains a maxima, compute the time at which this occurs, tmax, and the maximum…arrow_forwardComputer Science by using python calculate the first and second derivatives forany function you give.arrow_forward* The means if a sample is compressed in one direction it tends to get thicker in the lateral direction Hooke's Law Ductility poission's ratio * Intensive property of a system is one whose value depends on the mass of the system, like volume does not depend on the mass of the system, like temperature, O is dependent on the path followed and not on the state remains constant Oarrow_forward
