Answer:

When you experience prolonged stress, your body needs those T-cells and white blood cells, and unfortunately, cortisol continues to suppress them, thus weakening your immune system over time.

Explanation:

Stress, Illness and the Immune System. ... When we're stressed, the immune system's ability to fight off antigens is reduced. That is why we are more susceptible to infections. The stress hormone corticosteroid can suppress the effectiveness of the immune system

Answer:

stress makes our immune system worse

Explanation:

stress releases hormones which tells the body we are in danger, and makes the body put all the attention to the defense mechanisms. Because the energy is taken away from then immune system, it leaves it weak, and an easy targets to sickness and injuries to take control

A white dwarf is:______.

bija089 [108]

Answer:

the exposed core of a dead star, supported by electron degeneracy pressure.

Explanation:

A white dwarf is a low luminosity exposed core of a dead star having mass comparable to the sun but volume comparable to the earth . So its density is very high . These stars have lost the capacity to generate energy through the process of fusion . Due to high gravitational energy , it goes on shrinking but ultimately balanced by electron degeneracy pressure. It is not a main sequence star as it has lost the power of fusion .

In the equation for centripetal force, which expression represents the centripetal acceleration of the object? mv2 StartFraction

Sphinxa [80]

Answer: $\frac{V^{2}}{r}$

Explanation:

According to Newton's 2nd Law of motion the force $F$ is proportional to the mass $Fm$ and acceleration $a$ :

$F=m.a$ (1)

On the other hand, the equation for the Centripetal force is:

$F=\frac{mV^{2}}{r}$ (2)

Where:

$V$ is the velocity

$r$ is the radius of the circular motion

Making (1) and (2) equal:

$m.a=\frac{mV^{2}}{r}$ (3)

Hence:

$a=\frac{V^{2}}{r}$ This is the expression for the centripetal acceleration

It should be noted, this acceleration is directed toward the center of the circumference of the circular motion (that's why it's called centripetal acceleration).

The layer of earth that has the lightest elements is the

Sonja [21]

If I remember correctly (from my studies long time ago) the layers are from the outer to the center:
SiAl : Silicon-Aluminum
SiMa : Silicon-Magnesium (although should be Mg)
NiFe : Nickel-Iron

The SiMa layer should have the lightest elements (Magnesium is lighter than Aluminum)

Sunspots appear dark because they are cooler than the surrounding solar surface. True or false

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

False, Sunspots appear dark (in visible light) due to their low temperature(cooler) than rest of the sun

Explanation:

Sunspots appear dark because they are much cooler( have low temperature than the rest of the surface contained by Sun. As they appear dark, but still they have very temperature that's why so hot. Sunspots have temperatures ranges 3,500 Celsius (3773 kelvin) and the surrounding surface of the sun has a temperature much higher of about 5,500 Celsius(5773 Kelvin). Even if we see a sunspot alone in space, it will glow so brightly.
