Ultraviolet light causes production of vitamin d3 in the cells of the __________.

Physics
1 answer:
dedylja [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Epidermis

Explanation:

The epidermis is an important layer forming the skin that is mainly responsible for providing protection from the incoming harmful solar radiations, that are comprised of ultraviolet particles. These UV rays can cause various diseases like skin cancer.

When the solar radiations containing UV radiations (mostly the UV-B type radiation having a wavelength 290-315 nanometer) strikes the cells of human beings, then the protein that is stored within the skin named '7- dehydrocholesterolit (DHC)' is transformed into the vitamin d3 inside the cells.

What is polygamy? Explain please:)
Mariulka [41]

I always thought that 'polygamy' refers to the social system in which a man
may have more than one wife, and I thought there's some other word for
where a woman is married to more than one man. 

But when I went to look it up just now to answer your question, (which by the
way you could also have done very easily), I found a definition that says it's a
"state of marriage between many spouses".  That doesn't specify genders, so
I guess it means any marriage that involves more than two people, no matter
how the genders may be represented or distributed within it.

lesantik [10]

Answer:

35870474.30504 m

Explanation:

r = Distance from the surface

T = Time period = 24 h

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

m = Mass of the Earth =  5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

Radius of Earth = 6.38\times 10^6\ m

The gravitational force will balance the centripetal force

\dfrac{GMm}{R^2}=m\dfrac{v^2}{R}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R}}

T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}}

From Kepler's law we have relation

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2r^3}{GM}\\\Rightarrow r^3=\dfrac{T^2GM}{4\pi^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\left(\dfrac{(24\times 3600)^2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{4\pi^2}\right)^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow r=42250474.30504\ m

Distance from the center of the Earth would be

42250474.30504-6.38\times 10^6=\mathbf{35870474.30504\ m}
