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.

In a race, Usain Bolt accelerates at
jeka94

Answer:

65.87 s

Explanation:

For the first time,

Applying

v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance

From the question,

Given:  u = 0 m/s (from rest), a = 1.99 m/s², s = 60 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

v² = 0²+2(1.99)(60)

v² = 238.8

v = √238.8

v = 15.45 m/s

Therefore, time taken for the first 60 m is

t = (v-u)/a............ Equation 2

t = (15.45-0)/1.99

t = 7.77 s

For the final 40 meter,

t = (v-u)/a

Given: v = 0 m/s(decelerates), u = 15.45 m/s, a = -0.266 m/s²

Substitute into the equation above

t = (0-15.45)/-0.266

t = 58.1 seconds

Hence total time taken to cover the distance

T = 7.77+58.1

T = 65.87 s

A 5.0 kg chunk of putty moving at 10m/s collides and sticks to a 7.0 kg bowling ball that is initially at rest.What is the total
Flura [38]

Answer:

Total momentum = 50kgm/s

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass, M1 = 5kg

Mass, M2 = 7kg

Velocity, V1 = 10m/s

Velocity, V2 = 0m/s (since it's at rest).

To find the total momentum;

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = Mass * Velocity

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total linear momentum of any closed system would always remain constant with respect to time.

Total momentum = M1V1 + M2V2

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Total momentum = 5*10 + 7*0

Total momentum = 50 + 0

<em>Total momentum = 50 kgm/s</em>

<em>Therefore, the total momentum of the bowling ball and the putty after they collide is 50 kgm/s. </em>

Use a(t) = -32 feet per second per second as the acceleration due to gravity. (Neglect air resistance.) -With what initial veloc
Kitty [74]

Answer:

u= 187.61 ft/s

Explanation:

Given that

g= - 32 ft/s²

The maximum height ,h= 550 ft

Lets take the initial velocity = u ft/s

We know that

v²=u² + 2 g s

v=final speed ,u=initial speed ,s=height

When the object reach at the maximum height then the final speed of the object will become zero.

That is why

u²= 2 x 32 x 550

u²= 35200

u= 187.61 ft/s

That is why the initial speed will be 187.61 ft/s
