Answer: Lack of melanin in the skin.

Explanation: The amount of melanin in your body is determined genetically. Some people dont produce enough melanin to protect their skin well. Eventually the UV causes the skin to burn, causing redness, swelling and pain.

A certain runner averages 4.1 m/s over a 10
Ghella [55]

Answer: 40.650406504065 or 40 minutes and 39 seconds.

Explanation:

1 k = 1000m

race = 10000m

runner time = 10000 / 4.1

runner time = 2439.0243902439024 seconds

runner time = 2439.0243902439024/60 = 40.650406504065 or 40 minutes and 39 seconds.

At time t1 = 14 s, a car is located at 99, 80, 27 m and has velocity 4, 0, −3 m/s. At time t2 = 18 s, what is the position of th
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

115, 80, 15m

Explanation

t1 = 14s

t2 = 18s

change in time = 4s (18-14)

r(final) = r(initial) + (average velocity) x (change in time)

multiply the average velocity with the change in time

= (4, 0, -3) x 4 = 16, 0, -12

now we'll add this value to the initial position of the car

(99, 80, 27)m + (16, 0, -12)m = (115, 80, 15)m

You rub a clear plastic pen with wool, and observe that a strip of invisible tape is attacted to the pen. Assuming that the pen
melomori [17]

Explanation:

It is known that opposite charges tend to attract each other whereas like charges tend to repel each other.

For example, when we rub a plastic pen with wool and it gets attracted towards an invisible tape then it means that there is an opposite charge present on both the objects.

A neutral object also tends to develop a charge when it comes in contact with a charged object.

Thus, we can conclude that the following statements are true.

  • The tape might be positively charged.
  • The tape might be uncharged.

Retrograde. Planets seem to move forward and then backward sometimes. This is really because we pass them as we move in our orbit but astronomers wanted to try to describe the solar system with earth at the center so elaborate models were employed.

If a 25 kg object is moving at a velocity of 10 m/s, the object has<br> energy. Calculate it.
Paul [167]

Answer: Your answer is 1250J

Explanation:

K E = 1/2 m v 2

The mass is  

m = 25 k g

The velocity is  v = 10 m s − 1

So,

K E = 1 /2 x25 x 10 2^2= 1250 J
