Although it's rare, with the odds of getting struck in your lifetime being roughly 1 in 12,000, every now and then a human will provide an attractive target for lightning bolts to unleash their power. And of the roughly 500 people who are struck by lightning each year, about 90 percent survive.
<u>Answer:</u> The weight of the person above the surface of a planet is 635.83N.
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the weight of a person, we use the formula:
....(1)
where,
w = weight of an object
m = mass of the person = 65kg
g = acceleration due to the gravity of the planet
For the calculation of weight, we need to first find the acceleration due to gravity and for that we use the formula:
where, g = acceleration due to gravity = 
G = Universal gravitational constant = 
M = mass of the planet = 
r = distance of the person from the planet = 
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Putting this value in equation 1, we get:
Hence, the weight of the person above the surface of a planet is 635.83N.
Answer:
a.) Hydrogen peroxide are highly reactive oxygen compounds used as an antiseptic
b.) Used in treating punctured wounds due to the nature of the wound which helps microorganisms to thrive.
c.) Fizzing associated with hydrogen peroxide use is due to presence of the enzyme catalase.
Explanation:
Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound which is made up of two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms. It is powerful oxidizing agent which takes part in biological reactions. This is possible as it can remove electrons from other biological molecules which can damage other cellular components. It is used an an antiseptic to reduce infection because, being a powerful oxidizing agent, it has the ability to react with cell wall of these microorganisms through removal of electrons thereby causing damage to it.
Punctured wounds are narrow in structure which allows obligate anaerobic organisms to thrive because of reduced oxygen flow in the wound. Hydrogen peroxide can effectively eliminate these organisms which are most likely to cause infection in that site because they lack the enzyme called catalase.
Catalase is an enzyme which is present in living cells except obligate anaerobic organisms. It converts hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The fizzing noticed by Jill while cleaning the wound with hydrogen peroxide is due to the catalase in Jill's own cells which converts the hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. When oxygen is given off, fizzing reactions are seen at the surface of the wound.
