Oncology is the study of cancer, so the doctors are called oncologists
Answer:
Concrete
Explanation:
The speed at which sound propagates is medium dependent. As one of the forms of mechanical waves, sound requires a material medium for propagation from place to place.
- Sound travels with the least speed in air because air particles are far apart and they are randomized.
- Sound travels with the greatest speed in solids. Concrete is the only solid material given in the choice.
The speed of sound increases from air to liquid and to solid.
Answer:
The BOD concentration 50 km downstream when the velocity of the river is 15 km/day is 63.5 mg/L
Explanation:
Let the initial concentration of the BOD = C₀
Concentration of BOD at any time or point = C
dC/dt = - KC
∫ dC/C = -k ∫ dt
Integrating the left hand side from C₀ to C and the right hand side from 0 to t
In (C/C₀) = -kt + b (b = constant of integration)
At t = 0, C = C₀
In 1 = 0 + b
b = 0
In (C/C₀) = - kt
(C/C₀) = e⁻ᵏᵗ
C = C₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ
C₀ = 75 mg/L
k = 0.05 /day
C = 75 e⁻⁰•⁰⁵ᵗ
So, we need the BOD concentration 50 km downstream when the velocity of the river is 15 km/day
We calculate how many days it takes the river to reach 50 km downstream
Velocity = (displacement/time)
15 = 50/t
t = 50/15 = 3.3333 days
So, we need the C that corresponds to t = 3.3333 days
C = 75 e⁻⁰•⁰⁵ᵗ
0.05 t = 0.05 × 3.333 = 0.167
C = 75 e⁻⁰•¹⁶⁷
C = 63.5 mg/L
