The epidermis is the outermost epithelial layer over the skin. This is what you see and touch. It is made up mostly of keratinocytes.

Clearly this layer protects the layers beneath, i.e., the dermis and the subcutaneous layer which both have more delicate functions. It keeps out dirt, debris, bacteria, and basically everything else you don't want inside you. It also forms a protective barrier that protects from damage.

Within the epidermis, melanocytes create melanin to help protect from UV-rays. Lymphocytes and Langerhans cells help to neutralize pathogens.

How can astrophysicists tell whether a star is receding from or approaching earth?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Doppler shift of the starlight

Explanation:

To predict the movement of a star, we compare the spectra of elements found in star (H, He Na etc.), first spectra which are obtained from star and second spectra from laboratory. If spectral lines of the spectra obtained from star, are shifting towards red end (called red shift) then star is going away from earth and if shifting is towards blue (called blue shift), then star is approaching the earth. This is Doppler's shift.

Inside a freely falling runaway elevator, your
nasty-shy [4]

The answer is apparent weight is zero.

You are still accelerating downwards at 9.8m/s^2 (if you are on Earth).

You still are being affected by the Earth's gravity.

Not all because of the previous two statements.

Not none because apparent weight is zero as you are falling.

It decomposes in a first-order reaction with a rate constant of 14 s–1. how long would it take for an initial concentration of 0
VikaD [51]
The rate constant of a reaction can be computed by the ratio of the changes in the concentration and time take taken for it to decompose. Thus, if the rate constant is given to be 14 M/s, we have 

rate = \frac{-(C_{new} - C_{old})}{t}

where C are the concentration values and t is the time taken for it to decompose.

14 = \frac{-(0.02 - 0.06)}{t}
t = 0.003 s

Thus, it will take 0.003 s for it to decompose.
Answer: 0.003 s

1. A 9000 kg van was stopped at a traffic light when it rear-ended with an 850 compact car moving to the east at a velocity of 5
____ [38]

Answer:

1.785 m/s

Explanation:

The momentum can be calculated using the expression below

M1 *V1 + M2 * V2 = (M1+M2) V3

M1= mass of van=9000 kg

M2= mass of car= 850kg

V3= velocity of entangled car

V1= Velocity of the van= 0

V2= velocity of the car= 5 m/ s

Substitute the values

(900×0) + (500×5)=( 900+500)× V3

2500=1400 V3

V3=2500/1400

V3= 1.785 m/s

Hence, velocity of the entangled cars after collision is 1.785 m/s
