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.

If you lose control of your vehicle and collide with a fixed object, such as a tree, at 60 m.p.h., the force of impact is the sa
My name is Ann [436]
You can compare the velocity of the car, 60 mph, with the velocity that a mass would acquire when falls from certain height.

First, convert 60 mph to m/s:

60 miles/h * 1.60 km/mile * 1000 m/km * 1h/3600s = 26.67 m/s

Second, calculate from what height a body in free fall reachs 26.67 m/s velocity when hits the floor.

free fall => Vf^2 = 2g*H => H = Vf^2 / (2g)

H = (26.67m/s)^2 / (2*9.8 m/s) = 36.2 m

If you consider that the height between the floors of a building is approximately 3.6 m, you get 36.2 m / 3.6 m/floor = 10 floors.

Then, you conclude that the force of impact is the same as driving you vehicle off a 10 story building.

A 1.4-kg block slides freely across a rough surface such that the block slows down with an acceleration of â1.25 m/s2. what is t
Marianna [84]

Mass of the block = 1.4 kg

Weight of the block = mg = 1.4 × 9.8 = 13.72 N

Normal force from the surface (N) = 13.72 N

Acceleration = 1.25 m/s^2

Let the coefficient of kinetic friction be μ

Friction force = μN

F(net) = ma

μmg = ma

μg = a

μ = \frac{a}{g}

μ = \frac{1.25}{9.8}

μ = 0.1275

Hence, the coefficient of kinetic friction is: μ = 0.1275

The Earth's axis of rotation is tilted. Because of this, the amount of sunlight an area on the planet receives each day varies
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: The Northern Hemisphere experiences the start of <u>summer</u>

Explanation:

Due to this tilt in Earth's axis of rotation, some regions receive different amounts of sunlight according to the seasons of the year. These variations are more evident near the poles and softer or imperceptible near the equator. This explains the fact that while in the northern hemisphere it is summer and there are high temperatures (because the Sunlight incides more perpendicularly in this area during this season), in the southern hemisphere it is winter and very low temperatures are recorded, and vice versa.  

In this sense, according to the image the Earth is at the point of its orbit in which, due to the inclination of its axis, the North Pole is closer to the Sun.  

In other words, the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, and this astronomical phenomenon brings the summer season for the Northern Hemisphere.
