Answer:

The correct answer is option B, lower than the threshold velocity for sand

Explanation:

Threshold velocity of the soil is the velocity where soil has overcome the gravitational force and the inter particle force and it starts moving. The factors which affect the threshold velocity of soil are –

a) Lower the sand content , higher will be the threshold velocity

b) Size of aggregates in the soil – the larger the size of the aggregate the larger will be its velocity

c) Size of soil particles – soils with soil particle size greater than 1 mm shall move easily.  

Considering all the above three factors, it is clear that the threshold velocity of silt is lower than that of sand as the sand content in silt is high and also its particles are finer than that of sand particles.

A researcher is trying to design an experiment to measure the amount of energy a person uses during different activities. He pro
Tomtit [17]

The right answer is to measure the amount of released carbon dioxide.

The carbon dioxide exhaled by the lungs can reflect the energy consumed by the body since it comes from the degradation of glucose which is the main energy substrate. And this is a better indicator of energy consumption than measuring heart rate because it can be inflected by several factors.


A is false because glucose is not found in the urine, except in the case of diabetes mellitus.

C is false because the consumption of calories does not mean that we will directly use it.

D is wrong because perspiration is independent of energy consumption, this is a way to cool the body after exercise.
