Answer: The given statement is true.

Transport of oxygen from the air takes place through respiratory system. Oxygen from air ( that is taken from the atmosphere) enters via a system of tubes, into our lungs and then it is released into the bloodstream ( to serve in various organs) whereas opposite route is followed by CO2 ( carbon dioxide).

In the respiratory tract, the nose is lined by mucosal epithelium that possessed glands ( which secrete thick mucus). Due to this, air is moistened. Beneath the epithelium surface, there lies network of blood vessels that help in warming the nasal cavity and thus the air is warmed.

Well, in my own personal case, I can actually move the air in either
direction through both of those.

When I move the air inward from the outside, it's warmed and moistened.

When I move it outward from the inside, it's not.

What happens to the pressure in a tire if air is slowly leaking out of the tire? explain your answer?

creativ13 [48]

It's pretty simple. When air is leaking out of a tire, like a tiny hole or something, the pressure in the tire decreases, because without air in the tire, there is no pressure.

The cornea behaves as a thin lens of focal lengthapproximately 1.80 {\rm cm}, although this varies a bit. The material of whichi

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

from lens makers formula

$\frac{1}{f} =(\mu-1)(\frac{1}{r_1} -\frac{1}{r_2})$

f is focal length , r₁ is radius of curvature of one face and r₂ is radius of curvature of second face

putting the values

$\frac{1}{1.8} =(1.38-1)(\frac{1}{.5} -\frac{1}{r_2})$

1.462 = 2 - 1 / r₂

1 / r₂ = .538

r₂ = 1.86 cm .

= 18.6 mm .

b )

object distance u = 25 cm

focal length of convex lens f = 1.8 cm

image distance v = ?

lens formula

$\frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f}$

$\frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{-25} = \frac{1}{1.8}$

$\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{1.8} -\frac{1}{25}$

.5555 - .04

= .515

v = 1.94 cm

c )

magnification = v / u

= 1.94 / 25

= .0776

size of image = .0776 x size of object

= .0776 x 10 mm

= .776 mm

It will be a real image and it will be inverted.

What is the speed of an object at rest

sammy [17]

The speed of an object is measured by calculating the distance it travels per unit time.
The formula in Physics for calculating speed is = distance/ time.

Since an object at rest is not covering any distance, the speed is always assumed to be 0 m/s.
