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.

Death Star has a diameter of 160,000m and a mass of 5.1e17kg. Millennium Falcon has a mass of 1.36e6kg (data from Wookieepedia)

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

7229 N

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the Death Star and the Millenium Falcon is given by:

$F=G\frac{mM}{R^2}$

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

$M=5.1\cdot 10^{17} kg$ is the mass of the Death Star

$m=1.36\cdot 10^6 kg$ is the mass of the Millennium Falcon

$R=\frac{160,000 m}{2}=80,000 m$ is the radius of the Death Star

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find the force

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(1.36\cdot 10^6 kg)(5.1\cdot 10^{17} kg)}{(80,000 m)^2}=7229 N$

The pulley system has a mechanical advantage of 5. Determine how much input force is required to achieve 1000 N of lifting force

olga55 [171]

Answer:

Input force of pulley system = 200 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mechanical advantage of pulley system = 5

Output force from pulley system = 1,000 N

Find;

Input force of pulley system

Computation:

Mechanical advantage = Output force / Input force

Mechanical advantage of pulley system = Output force from pulley system / Input force of pulley system

5 = 1,000 / Input force of pulley system

Input force of pulley system = 1,000 / 5

Input force of pulley system = 200 N

An electron in an unknown energy level of a hydrogen atom transitions to the n=2 level and emits a photon with wavelength 410 nm

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The initial energy level = 6

Explanation:

Photon wavelength is proportional to energy. The wavelength of emitted photons is related to the energy levels of the atom as given by the Rydberg formula:

ₕ₁₂

(1/λ) = Rₕ [(1/n₂²) − (1/n₁²)]

where n₂ = final energy level = 2

n₁ = initial energy level = ?

Rₕ = Rydberg's constant = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹

λ = wavelength = 410 nm = 410 × 10⁻⁹ m

1/(410 × 10⁻⁹) = (1.097 × 10⁷) [(1/2²) − (1/n₁²)]

0.223 = [(1/4) − (1/n₁²)]

(1/n₁²) = 0.02778

n₁² = 1/0.02778 = 36

n₁ = 6.

The friction that prevents an object from moving when a force is applied is ________ friction.

uranmaximum [27]

Static friction is what you are looking for.
Kinetic friction is the force exerted on an already moving object, slowing it down.
