Why is wind a different type of resource than coal?

1 answer:

6 0

Wind is a type of resource that can never be ran out of. there’s only a limited amount of coal on earth. wind is a natural resource, coal took millions of years to form and once we use it all, it will take a really long time to replenish.

At what point do the pulmonary and systemic circulation systems meet up?

Hitman42 [59]

Answer: The Heart

Explanation:

The blood circulatory system (cardiovascular system) delivers nutrients and oxygen to all cells in the body. It consists of the heart and the blood vessels running through the entire body. The arteries carry blood away from the heart; the veins carry it back to the heart. The system of blood vessels resembles a tree: The “trunk” – the main artery (aorta) – branches into large arteries, which lead to smaller and smaller vessels. The smallest arteries end in a network of tiny vessels known as the capillary network.

There are two types of blood circulatory system in the human body, which are connected: The systemic circulation provides organs, tissues and cells with blood so that they get oxygen and other vital substances. The pulmonary circulation is where the fresh oxygen we breathe in enters the blood. At the same time, carbon dioxide is released from the blood.

Blood circulation starts when the heart relaxes between two heartbeats: The blood flows from both atria (the upper two chambers of the heart) into the ventricles (the lower two chambers), which then expand. The following phase is called the ejection period, which is when both ventricles pump the blood into the large arteries.

In the systemic circulation, the left ventricle pumps oxygen-rich blood into the main artery (aorta). The blood travels from the main artery to larger and smaller arteries and into the capillary network. There the blood drops off oxygen, nutrients and other important substances and picks up carbon dioxide and waste products. The blood, which is now low in oxygen, is collected in veins and travels to the right atrium and into the right ventricle.

This is where pulmonary circulation begins: The right ventricle pumps low-oxygen blood into the pulmonary artery, which branches off into smaller and smaller arteries and capillaries. The capillaries form a fine network around the pulmonary vesicles (grape-like air sacs at the end of the airways). This is where carbon dioxide is released from the blood into the air inside the pulmonary vesicles, and fresh oxygen enters the bloodstream. When we breathe out, carbon dioxide leaves our body. Oxygen-rich blood travels through the pulmonary veins and the left atrium into the left ventricle. The next heartbeat starts a new cycle of systemic circulation. Below is an attachment of a diagram that explains the connection between pulmonary and systemic circulation from google.

Match the given behaviors of water with their correct rationale. Use your observations about water and the reading you have done

kap26 [50]

Answer:

Heat energy first breaks hydrogen bonds before it increases movement of water molecules - High specific heat

As water freezes, the hydrogen bonds form a crystalline lattice which keeps the molecules at a consistent distance leading to a density lesser than liquid water- Ice floats on water

A large amount of energy is needed to convert liquid water, where the molecules are tied by hydrogen bonds, to water vapor, where they are not - High heat of vaporization

Hydrogen bonds between water molecules keep the molecules "sticking together." - Cohesion

Explanation:

Water is a molecule composed of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. Water is a very unique substance with properties that are unexpected of a molecule its size. Some of the unique properties of water include:

Its high polar nature, High-specific heat, High heat of vaporization, the lower density of ice. One of the reason for these unique properties is strong cohesive forces between water molecules.

Cohesion: Hydrogen bonds between water molecules keep the molecules "sticking together."

Polarity: Water molecules are polar, with partial positive charges on the hydrogens, a partial negative charge on the oxygen because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen. As a result, water is a good polar solvent.

High specific heat: Heat energy first breaks hydrogen bonds before it increases movement of water molecules.

Lower density of ice: As water freezes, the hydrogen bonds form a crystalline lattice which keeps the molecules at a consistent distance leading to a density lesser than liquid water, therefore, ice floats on water

High heat of vaporization: A large amount of energy is needed to convert liquid water, where the molecules are tied by hydrogen bonds, to water vapor, where they are not.

If Harry's negligent act injures Sally, and Susan, while attempting to come to Sally's aid breaks her arm in the process then, H

kumpel [21]

Answer: Sally

If Harry's negligent act injures Sally, and Susan, while attempting to come to Sally's aid breaks her arm in the process then, Harry is liable for the harm to Sally.

Explanation:

As a mathematical expression, we can say the action of Harry H, is directly proportional to the injury to Sally S; while the mistake of Susan N is directly proportional to injury to Sally S.

So, if H = S and N = S, it is safe to say

H = N = S.

Thus, Harry negligence create room for Susan mistake, which eventually harmed Sally.
