Answer:

Particulate matter in the inhaled air is trapped by the <u><em>epithelial mucus.</em></u>

Explanation:

The complete question is:

<em>"Particulate matter in the inhaled air is trapped by the __________. </em>

<em>a. tracheal carina </em>

<em>b. paranasal sinuses </em>

<em>c. pharyngeal muscles </em>

<em>d. epithelial mucus"</em>

The nostril is covered with a mucous membrane that, at its highest part, is formed by an epithelium that contains cells that produce mucus and hair cells covered with fine hairs, called vibratil cilia. Epithelial cells help protect against the entry of microorganisms. In other words, certain types of epithelial cells have tiny hairs called cilia, which help remove foreign substances.

So, <u><em>particulate matter in the inhaled air is trapped by the epithelial mucus.</em></u>

You apply a force of 500 N to 150 N/m. how much does it stretch? Show the equation you are using, plus the values into the equat
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

3.33m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force applied  =500N

Elastic constant  = 150N/m

Unknown:

Amount of stretch or extension  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem use the expression below:

    F  = k e

F is the force applied

k is the elastic constant

e is the extension

  So;

           500  = 150 x e

             e  = \frac{500}{150}    = 3.33m

A 8.0 cm-diameter horizontal pipe gradually narrows to 4.5 cm. When water flows through this pipe at a certain rate, the gauge p
Fed [463]

Answer:

7.11x10^-3

Explanation:

We are to get the volume rate of flows

1/2pv1² + pl = 1/2pv2²

Such that A1V1 = A2V2

V1 = A2V2/A1

From the attachment I uploaded, we have a formula named equation 1 from which I have plugged in these values

P2 = 33000

P2 = 24000

P = 1000

r2 = 2.25

r1 = 4

When we put these values into the equation,

V2 = 4.47

A2V2 = pi(0.0225)²x4.47

= 7.7x19^-3m³/s

Answer:

ionized particles from the sun.

* interactions in radiation belts.

* the friction of the planet in the solar wind

q = +9 10⁵ C

Explanation:

Due to being made up of matter, the planet Earth has a series of positive and negative charges, in general these charges should be balanced and the net charge of the planet should be zero, but there are several phenomena that introduce unbalanced charges, for example:

* ionized particles from the sun.

* interactions in radiation belts.

* the friction of the planet in the solar wind

This creates that the planet has a net electrical load

         

We can roughly calculate the charge of the planet

             E = k q / r²

             q = E r² / k

let's calculate

             q = 200 (6.37 10⁶)²/9 10⁹

              q = +9 10⁵ C
