Answer:

4 km/hr

Explanation:

suppose 's' is Diane's speed with no current.

't' represents time in hrs.

Using the formula:

Distance = speed 's' x time 't'

-> when she swims against the current, equation will be,

5= (s-2)t

t= 5/(s-2)

->when she was swimming with the current, equation is,

15= (s+2) t

t= 15/(s+2)

equating eq(1) and (2)

5/(s-2) = 15/(s+2)

5s + 10 = 15s - 30

40= 10s

s= 40/10

s=4

Therefore, if there were no current, her speed is 4km/hr

This diagram shows particles that make up an atom. Which label BEST completes the diagram ?
worty [1.4K]
Answer: option A. strong nuclear force.

Explanation:

The diagram shows the subatomic particles inside the nucelous: protons and neutrons.

As you know, the protons are positively charged partilces inside the nucleous.

Being those particles charged with the same kind of charge they experiment electrostatic repulsion. So, how do you explain that they can stand together in such small space as it is the nucleous?

The responsible of keeping the subatomic particles together is the so called strong nuclear force.

Strong nuclear force or simply strong force is one of the four fundamental interactions or forces: i) gravitational, ii) electromagnetic, iii) weak nuclear force, and iv) strong nuclear force.

Strong nuclear force is the strongest force of nature and acts only in short distances as those inside the nucleous and is responsible for both the atraction among quarks and the atraction among protons to bind them together inside the atomic nucleous.

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

According to the law of conservation of matter, what number must be the same on each side of a chemical equation?
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

4. The number of atoms of each element

Explanation:

<em><u>Why is 1 wrong?</u></em>

The number of substances (i.e. number of mols of substances) do not have to be the same. For instance, 2 mol of water reacts with 1 mol of oxygen to form 2 mol of water. Obviously the numer of substances is not conserved. Thus, it isn't a requirement.

<em><u>Why is 2 wrong?</u></em>

The number of chemical symbols do not mean anything. They do not tell us anything about the quantity of matter, they only tell us about the elements that are involved in the reaction.

<em><u>Why is 3 wrong?</u></em>

Once again, the number of chemical formulas are meaningless.

<u><em>Why is 4 correct?</em></u>

The number of atoms are always conserved as atoms cannot be broken or created.

<em><u>Possible confusion...</u></em>

The number of atoms are always conserved but the number of molecules may not always be conserved.

Why? As 2 atoms may be a molecule on the reactant side and 4 atoms may become a molecule on the product size, causing the number of molecules to reduce by half, while the number of atoms remain constant.

Hope that makes sense!
