A cornea transplant involves the grafting of a donor cornea into a recipient’s anterior eye. The sutures to hold the graft in pl

Answer:

The cornea of an eye is avascular

Explanation:

The healing process in case of a cornea transplant is slow, because the cornea is of an eye is avascular, i.e., it does not contain blood vessels and in the absence of the blood vessels in the cornea tissue the nutrients and oxygen is not able to get delivered there.

Thus the immune system, without the blood vessels in the cornea is weak and hence healing takes time in case of cornea transplant.

Based on the information in the graph, which atom listed below is the most stable?
puteri [66]
Iron-56 has the greatest binding energy per nucleon while Hydrogen-3 has the lowest based on the information in the graph of average binding energy per nucleon against number of nucleons in nucleus. We know that the the greater the amount of binding energy per nucleon the greater the nuclear stability is, thus Iron-56 is the most stable atom among Helium-4, Uranium-238 and Hydrogen-3.

A 2530-kg test rocket is launched vertically from the launch pad. Its fuel (of negligible mass) provides a thrust force so that
gavmur [86]

Answer:

A = 1.4 m/s²

B = -0.10493 m/s³

a = 1.29507 m/s²

T = 28095.8271 N

T = 1.13198 W

Explanation:

t = Time taken

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

The equation

v(t)=At+Bt^2

Differentiating with respect to time

\frac{dv}{dt}=\frac{d(At+Bt^2)}{dt}\\\Rightarrow 1.4=A+2Bt

At t = 0

1.4=A

Hence, A = 1.4 m/s²

B=\frac{v-At}{t^2}\\\Rightarrow B=\frac{2.18-1.4\times 1.8}{1.8^2}\\\Rightarrow B=-0.10493\ m/s^3

B = -0.10493 m/s³

At t = 5 seconds

a=1.4+2\times -0.010493\times 5=1.29507\ m/s^2

a = 1.29507 m/s²

T=m(a+g)\\\Rightarrow T=2530(1.29507+9.81)\\\Rightarrow T=28095.8271\ N

T = 28095.8271 N

Weight of rocket

W=2530\times 9.81=24819.9\ N

\frac{T}{W}=\frac{28095.8271}{24819.9}\\\Rightarrow \frac{T}{W}=1.13198\\\Rightarrow T=1.13198W

T = 1.13198 W
