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

Physics
1 answer:
dedylja [7]3 years ago
4 0

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.

A small car with mass of 0.800 kg travels at a constant speed
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The equation of equilibrium at the top of the vertical circle is:

\Sigma F = - N - m\cdot g = - m \cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}

The speed experimented by the car is:

\frac{N}{m}+g=\frac{v^{2}}{R}

v = \sqrt{R\cdot (\frac{N}{m}+g) }

v = \sqrt{(5\,m)\cdot (\frac{6\,N}{0.8\,kg} +9.807\,\frac{kg}{m^{2}} )}

v\approx 9.302\,\frac{m}{s}

The equation of equilibrium at the bottom of the vertical circle is:

\Sigma F = N - m\cdot g = m \cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}

The normal force on the car when it is at the bottom of the track is:

N=m\cdot (\frac{v^{2}}{R}+g )

N = (0.8\,kg)\cdot \left(\frac{(9.302\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}}{5\,m}+ 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)

N=21.690\,N

A water bath in a physical chemistry lab is 1.55 m long, 0.710 m wide, and 0.570 m deep (high). If it is filled to within 3.55 i
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

528 liter.

Explanation:

Volume of the tank(cuboid) = l*b*h

But volume of the water = l*b*h

Where

l= length of the tank

b = width of the tank

h = the length from the bottom of the tank,

3.55 in to m,

0.09017m

Length of the water in the tank = 0.570 - 0.09017

= 0.47983 m.

Volume = 0.47983*0.710*1.55

= 0.528 m3.

1 m3 = 1000 liter.

0.528 m3 = 0.528*1000

= 528 liter

What would a series circuit be used for?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

a series circuit would be an odd choice to power a battery or light a lamp when a direct would be much more efficient, and it's not converting types of energy, so C is the best possible answer
