IF it possible for an object to move for 10 seconds at a high speed and end up with an average velocity of zero? true or false

True, if you move something forward at 100 miles an hour but your on something moving backwards 100 miles an hour you up staying in the same location, aka zero velocity.

It's true and possible. Velocity over a period of time depends on the displacement during that time. Displacement is measured between the start point and end point. If, say, you're moving along a circular track, and you stop when you reach the point where you started from, your displacement is zero, so your average velocity for the trip around the circle would be zero.

A swimming pool contains x (less than 0.02) grams of chlorine per cubic meter. the pool measures 5 meters by 50 meters and is 2

zubka84 [21]

The solution for this problem would be:(10 - 500x) / (5 - x)
so start by doing:
x(5*50*2) - xV + 5V = 0.02(5*50*2)
500x - xV + 5V = 10
V(5 - x) = 10 - 500x
V = (10 - 500x) / (5 - x)
(V stands for the volume, but leaves us with the expression for x)

A confined aquifer with a porosity of 0.15 is 30 m thick. The potentiometric surface elevation at two observation wells 1000 m a

AlekseyPX

Answer:

Part (a) The flow rate per unit width of the aquifer is 1.0875 m³/day

Part (b) The specific discharge of the flow is 0.0363 m/day

Part (c) The average linear velocity of the flow is 0.242 m/day

Part (d) The time taken for a tracer to travel the distance between the observation wells is 4132.23 days = 99173.52 hours

Explanation:

Part (a) the flow rate per unit width of the aquifer

From Darcy's law;

$q = -Kb\frac{dh}{dl}$

where;

q is the flow rate

K is the permeability or conductivity of the aquifer = 25 m/day

b is the aquifer thickness

dh is the change in th vertical hight = 50.9m - 52.35m = -1.45 m

dl is the change in the horizontal hight = 1000 m

q = -(25*30)*(-1.45/1000)

q = 1.0875 m³/day

Part (b) the specific discharge of the flow

$V = \frac{Q}{A} = \frac{q}{b} = -K\frac{dh}{dl}\\\\V = -(25 m/d).(\frac{-1.45 m}{1000 m}) = 0.0363 m/day$

V = 0.0363 m/day

Part (c) the average linear velocity of the flow assuming steady unidirectional flow

Va = V/Φ

Φ is the porosity = 0.15

Va = 0.0363 / 0.15

Va = 0.242 m/day

Part (d) the time taken for a tracer to travel the distance between the observation wells

The distance between the two wells = 1000 m

average linear velocity = 0.242 m/day

Time = distance / speed

Time = (1000 m) / (0.242 m/day)

Time = 4132.23 days

$= 4132.23 days *\frac{24 .hrs}{1.day} = 99173.52, hours$

Sound waves that enter the external acoustic meatus eventually encounter the __________, which then vibrates at the same frequen

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

tympanic membrane (eardrum)

Explanation:

The sound waves spread through the air and reach the outer ear, into which they penetrate through the ear canal. In doing so, they stimulate the eardrum, which closes the inner end of the duct. By vibrating this membrane, the vibration of a chain of ossicles located in the middle ear is induced. These ossicles transmit their vibration to the oval window, which is a membranous structure that communicates the middle ear with the cochlea of the inner ear. When the oval membrane moves, it moves the liquid (perilymph) that fills one of the three cavities of the cochlea generating waves in it. These waves mechanically stimulate the sensory cells (hair cells) located in the organ of Corti, within the cochlea in the central cavity, the middle ramp. This cavity is filled with a liquid rich in K +, endolymph. The cells embedded in the endolymph, change their permeability to K + due to the movement of the cilia and respond by releasing a neurotransmitter that excites the nerve terminals, which initiate the auditory sensory pathway.
