Kinetic Science

When a ball is dropped it bounces; usually returning back to the original height from where it was first dropped. Science refers to this mass of movement as kinetic energy. Kinetic energy allows the ball to keep moving. As long as the ball is moving some form of energy amount is present. I was asked to take a look; via YouTube; at this 28 minute long video of multicolored balls bouncing in a slow to medium speed along with slow relaxing music playing in the background. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etOFJS7hbtU) It is said that the eyes are one of the most complex organs we have in the human body. I personally know how important the eyes are. Since sixth grade, I have worn eyeglasses to be able to see long distances. I still wear glasses …show more content…

As I mentioned before the eyes see images in form of light. The eye turn the light into neural impulses so that the brain can detect them and allow us to understand exactly what we are seeing. It all starts with the retina, which is located in the back of the eye. I learned that people with perfect vision, their focus point of light both near and far are exactly on the retina. While people who are near-sighted see light near an object and the focal point is behind the retina. Just as people who are far-sighted see light far from the object putting the focal point in front of the retina. The retina is a light-sensitive, soft piece of tissue in the eye and is the most important part. Light passes through the first layer made up of cons and rods. The cons are how we process and and are able to see item in black and white. While the rods are how we process and are able to see color. The information from the light is passed from the retina, to the rods and con, to the bipolar cell, which passes it to the ganglion cells. This is where our bring come into play. The ganglion cells are full of optic nerves that send the information to the thalamus. The thalamus is located in the brain and sends visual information to the cerebral
