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.

2. A carpenter tosses a shingle off a 9.4 m high roof, giving it an initial horizontal
Aleksandr [31]

Sounds like the shingle/ball is thrown from the roof horizontally, so that the distance it travels <em>x</em> after time <em>t</em> horizontally is

<em>x</em> = (7.2 m/s) <em>t</em>

The object's height <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> is

<em>y</em> = 9.4 m - 1/2 <em>gt</em>²

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, and its vertical velocity is

<em>v</em> = -<em>gt</em>

(a) The object hits the ground when <em>y</em> = 0:

0 = 9.4 m - 1/2 <em>gt</em>²

<em>t</em>² = 2 * (9.4 m) / (9.80 m/s²)

<em>t</em> ≈ 1.92 s

at which time the object's vertical velocity is

<em>v</em> = -<em>g</em> (1.92 s) = -18.8 m/s ≈ -19 m/s

(b) See part (a); it takes the object about 1.9 s to reach the ground.

(c) The object travels a horizontal distance of

<em>x</em> = (7.2 m/s) * (1.92 s) ≈ 13.8 m ≈ 14 m

According to Newton's first law of motion, what would happen to a car traveling at a constant velocity of 55 MPH to the west in
mart [117]

Explanation:

  • Newton's first law of motion says that an object will be at rest or it will be in motion until an unbalanced force acts on it.
  • In this case, a car traveling at a constant velocity of 55 mph to the west in the absence of an unbalanced force.
  • It would mean that the car will continue to move with a constant velocity of 55 mph to the west due to Newton's first law of motion.

Do magnetic field lines ever start or end anywhere?
nevsk [136]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The lines of the field of a magnet don't begin or stop at anyplace, they generally make shut circles or loops and will proceed inside magnet (however here and there they are not drawn along these lines). We require an approach to show the bearing of the field.  

The field lines of a magnet don't simply end at the magnetic tip. They go directly through it, so that inside the magnet the magnetic field lines indicates from the south to the north pole.
