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 cyclotron designed to accelerate protons has a magnetic field of magnitude 0.15 T over a region of radius 7.4 m. The charge on

klio [65]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, B = 0.15 T

Charge on a proton, $q=1.60218\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Mass of a proton, $m=1.67262 \times 10^{-27}\ kg$

The cyclotron frequency is given by :

$f=\dfrac{qB}{2\pi m}$

$f=\dfrac{1.60218\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 0.15\ T}{2\pi \times 1.67262 \times 10^{-27}\ kg}$

f = 2286785.40 Hz

$\omega=14368296.44\ rad/s$

$\omega=1.43\times 10^7 rad/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the mass of 5 moles of gold

Serhud [2]

First of all, we know that one mole is equal to the atomic number of an element.

The atomic number of gold is 197.0g Au

And we need to find 5 moles.

5 * 197.0 g Au = 985.0g

Grams is used to measure mass.

Answer: 985.0g

If a ball is thrown vertically upward with a velocity of 80 ft/s, then its height after t seconds is s = 80t − 16t 2 . (a) what

MAXImum [283]

Max height occurs when v = 0.
v(t) = ds(t)/dt
v(t) = 80 - 32t
0 = 80 - 32t
t = 5/2

s(5/2) = 80(5/2) - 16(5/2)^2
s(5/2) = 100
Answer: 100 ft

96 = 80t - 16t²
t = 3, 2
(80 ± √256) / 32 using the quadratic equation.

v(2) = 16
v(3) = -16

After flying for 15 min in a wind blowing 42 km/h at an angle of 19° south of east, an airplane pilot is over a town that is 48

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The speed of the airplane relative to the air is 209.47km/hr

Explanation:

Whenever we are solving a physics problem, it's really useful to start by drawing a diagram of the problem (See picture attached). It will help us visualize the problem better.

Now, we know that the plane flew for an amount of time of 15 minutes. For our dimensions to be the same, we need to turn those 15min to hours, like this:

$15min*\frac{1hr}{60min}=0.25hr$

Once our time is rewritten as hours, we can now calculate the velocity towards north of the plane.

$V=\frac{distance}{time}$

the plane traveled a distance to the north of 48km so the velocity is:

$V=\frac{48km}{0.25hr}$

V=192km/hr j

Now, we can calculate the x and y-components of the velocity of the wind. The problem states that the wind is blowing at 42km/hr at an angle of 19° south of east, so the x and y-components of the velocity of the wind are:

$V_{x}=42km/hr*cos(-19^{o} )=39.71 i$

and

$V_{y}=42km/hr*sin(-19^{o} )=-13.67 j$

So the velocity of the wind can be expressed as a vector as:

$V_{wind}=(39.71i - 13.67j)km/hr$

Once we know this, we can find the velocity of the plane with respect of the wind on x and on y:

$V_{plane x}=V_{plane/wind x}+V_{wind x}$

$V_{plane/wind x}=V_{plane x}-V_{wind x}$

$V_{plane/wind x}=(0-39.71 i)km/hr$

$V_{plane/wind x}= -39.71 i km/hr$

and

$V_{plane y}=V_{plane/wind y}+V_{wind y}$

$V_{plane/wind y}=V_{plane y}-V_{wind y}$

$V_{plane/wind y}=192km/hr j - (- 13.67j)km/hr$

$V_{plane/wind x}= 205.67 j km/hr$

So the velocity of the plane with respect to the wind can be rewritten as:

$V_{plane/wind x}= (-39.71i + 205.67 j) km/hr$

Since the problem asks us to find the speed of the plane with respect to the wind, this means that we need to find the magnitude of the velocity, since the speed is a scalar defined to be the magnitude of the velocity.

so:

$speed=\sqrt{(-39.71)^{2}+(205.67)^{2} }$

speed= 209.47 km/hr

Therefore, the speed of the airplane relative to the air is 209.47km/hr
