Explain how a blocked lacrimal punctum would affect drainage of lacrimal secretions from the surface of the eye

Biology

Answer: It would affect the lacrimal apparatus, the system in charge of the production of tears and their drainage system.

Explanation:

If a blockage where to happen at the  lacrimal punctum, or if it is narrowed, the tears would not be able follow their normal path, which is to move into the lacrimal sac, to be drained into the nasolacrimal duct afterwards, so the tears would overflow from the eye onto the face.

Tears cannot drain normally, causing a watery, irritated or chronically infected eye. Lacrimal secretion (tears) drain through the puncta in the corners of your upper and lower eyelids. The tears then travel through the small canals in the lids (canaliculi) to a lacrimal sac (where the lids are attached to the side of the nose), then down a duct (the nasolacrimal duct) before emptying into your nose.

5. A dedicated earth science student using
const2013 [10]

Answer:

(2) 988.5 mb.

Explanation:

The air pressure descends as we ascend. In other words, they are inversely proportional.

The air pressure descends as we ascend the mountain because the air molecules that are above us in high altitudes are fewer than the number of air molecules that are above us in the base of the mountain. So, the exerted pressure of the molecules on ourselves is lower in high altitudes.

Due to the reason mentioned above, we can deduce that the only correct option is option number two since the other ones show increasing or the same pressure, which is not possible as we ascend.

A plane is traveling at 80 m/s. To prepare for landing, it decreases its speed to 50 m/s in 120 s.
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

The deceleration of the plane is 0.25 m/s^{2}.

Explanation:

Deceleration is the converse of acceleration.

From first law of motion, we have;

v = u + at

where: v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

Thus,

v = 50 m/s

u = 80 m/s

t = 120 s

50 = 80 + 120a

50 - 80 = 120a

-30 = 120a

a = \frac{-30}{120}

  = -0.25

a = -0.25 m/s^{2}

The deceleration of the plane is 0.25 m/s^{2}.
