When a user process is interrupted or causes a processor exception, the x86 hardware switches the stack pointer to a kernel stac

Answer and Explanation

In x86, different stacks are used for kernel & user processes because of security purposes.

The kernel assigns the interrupt dispatch to a common kernel interrupt entry/exit

mechanism which saves pre-interrupt register state before summoning the registered handler(s).

When sending out an interrupt might launch a privilege and/or stack switch,

interrupts that occur while executing user process will switch to use the kernel stack in place at that point, without saving current state.

Anna makes arrangements to reuse waste water that has been used in sinks and showers. Which term refers to the waste water that
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Greywater.

Explanation:

Greywater is also known as sullage and it can be defined as any form of gently used wastewater derived from sources within a residential or office building such as showers, washing machines, bathroom sinks, bathroom tub, etc.

Generally, greywater or sullage is completely free of fecal materials (faeces) because it is independent from all toilet activities. However, greywater is not clean for direct use because it usually contains food particles, dirt, oil from dishes, hair, etc.

In this scenario, Anna makes arrangements to reuse waste water that has been used in sinks and showers. Greywater is a term which refers to the waste water that Anna reuses to conserve resources.

Therefore, Anna reuses greywater to conserve resources.

A circular hoop sits in a stream of water, oriented perpendicular to the current. If the area of the hoop is doubled, the flux (
natka813 [3]

Answer:

The flux (volume of water per unit time) through the hoop will also double.

Explanation:

The flux = volume of water per unit time = flow rate of water through the hoop.

The Flow rate of water through the hoop is proportional to the area of the hoop, and the velocity of the water through the hoop.

This means that

Flow rate = AV

where A is the area of the hoop

V is the velocity of the water through the hoop

This flow rate = volume of water per unit time = Δv/Δt =Q

From all the above statements, we can say

Q = AV

From the equation, if we double the area, and the velocity of the stream of water through the hoop does not change, then, the volume of water per unit time will also double or we can say increases by a factor of 2
