Why didn't Snow think that miasma theory could explain the inital cases of John Harnold and Mr. Blenkinsopp in the 1848 cholera

outbreak?

Answer:

Explanation:

ohn Snow inquired about the disease outbreak with the local residents. He found a convincing similarity that the affected people drank water from a particular well. He came to a conclusion that it is spreading through water. Whereas Miasma theory suggested that cholera spreads through air because of the pollutants present. John Snow's argument was that if cholera spreads through air, it would have spread faster than the current affected rate.

According to his assumptions, the well was closed and clean water was supplied and the cholera rate went down in the town.

Question 18/55 (2 p.)
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

the correct answer is C   v = 60 cm / s

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is related to the frequency and the wavelength

         v = λ f

They indicate that the object performs 20 oscillations every second, this is the frequency

         f = 20 Hz

the wavelength is the distance until the wave repeats, the distance between two consecutive peaks corresponds to the wavelength

         λ = 3 cm = 0.03 m

let's calculate

       v = 20 0.03

       v = 0.6 m / s

       v = 60 cm / s

the correct answer is C

An astronaut and his space suit have a combined mass of 157 kg. The
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

v₃ = 9.62[m/s]

Explanation:

To solve this type of problem we must use the principle of conservation of linear momentum, which tells us that the momentum is equal to the product of mass by velocity.

We must analyze the moment when the astronaut launches the toolkit, the before and after. In order to return to the ship, the astronaut must launch the toolkit in the opposite direction to the movement.

Let's take the leftward movement as negative, which is when the astronaut moves away from the ship, and rightward as positive, which is when he approaches the ship.

In this way, we can construct the following equation.

-(m_{1}+m_{2})*v_{1}=(m_{1}*v_{2})-(m_{2}*v_{3})

where:

m₁ = mass of the astronaut = 157 [kg]

m₂ = mass of the toolkit = 5 [kg]

v₁ = velocity combined of the astronaut and the toolkit before throwing the toolkit = 0.2 [m/s]

v₂ = velocity for returning back to the ship after throwing the toolkit [m/s]

v₃ = velocity at which the toolkit should be thrown [m/s]

Now replacing:

-(157+5)*0.2=(157*0.1)-(5*v_{3})\\(5*v_{3})= 15.7+32.4\\v_{3}=9.62[m/s]
