Before it hits your tap, unfiltered water from the Catskills winds its way through 6,000 miles of pipes aqueducts and tunnels.
Most of New York City's water -- 90 percent -- comes from the Kensico Reservoir. It holds 30 billion gallons and then travels to the ultra violet treatment facility in Westchester County, where 12,000 bulbs treat 1 billion gallons of water a day.
Hope this helps

Answer: True
Explanation:
<u>A cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer made of polar phosphate head and a nonpolar lipid tail.</u> It is semipermeable and regulates the transport of materials through it. For this,<u> it is selectively permeable</u> and since it is made of lipids, hydrophobic and small polar molecules can diffuse easily through it by simple diffusion and down their concentration gradient. However, polar molecules, large molecules (such as glucose) and ions are not able to pass through it because they are repelled.
To accomplish the transport of these molecules that can not diffuse, proteins embebbed in the membrane function as carriers that enable the transport of polar molecules, large molecules and ions by passive (through facilitated diffusion, down its concentration gradient) or active transport (movement against its concentration gradient).
I'm guessing the rocket scenario is the first one and the asteroid one is the last. That being said...
1) The fuel in the rocket provides it with the energy it needs to propel itself into space. The rocket throttles at the bottom, allow it to break free from the earth's gravity by pushing against the earth's greater mass.
2) If you are inside of the bus, in a fixed spot not moving, and the bus is moving. That means you are moving in the same direction as the bus. If it stops, you're still moving at the speed that it was once originally moving at. Obviously, since you weigh less than the bus you are going to fly forwards.
3) There is no gravity or friction in space, so items won't slow down no matter what. Even if an object such as a meteor is flung into space with the tiniest bit of force it will keep flying through space at a consistent speed, since there's nothing to slow it down... unless it hits something else.
4) Looking back at the previous answer, the asteroid is flying through space at a consistent speed (which is really fast). Suddenly it comes in close range to the moon which is bigger in size, and thus has a stronger gravitational pull, and pulls the asteroid into it's field.
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>A constant is something whose value cannot be changed and is used for comparison purpose. </em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
The controlled variable is a type of variable whose value is kept constant during the experiment to get the desired or expected result. The difference between constant and a control variable is that the constant can never be changed.
However, the value of control variable can be changed but is kept constant with a purpose in an experiment to get the data. The controlled variable in a battery can be the multi meter that should be used for all the batteries.
