Vitamin D can be obtained from food and supplements, or synthesized by our bodies when we receive UV radiation in our skin, which is our major source. However, this vitamin comes <span>inactivated</span> and the only way to activate it is through enzymatic conversion (hydroxylation) in the liver and later in the kidneys.

Ryan hit a baseball with an acceleration of 20 m/s2. The mass of the baseball is 0.5 kg. What is the force?
AleksAgata [21]
Well to find the answer for force, the formula is mass X acceleration.
So, 20m/s² X 0.5kg = 10kg-m/s².
But, because we measure force in Newtons, we have to change the units (kg/m/s²) to Newtons.
