<u>Answer</u>:

The stream flowing  at a speed of 2.828 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr}

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given:  

Distance = 2km (both in upstream and downstream)  

The speed in still water be x km/hr.  

The speed in upstream = 4-x  

Speed in downstream = 4+x  

Solution:

We know that, Speed = distance/time  

So, Time = distance/speed

Therefore,  

2=\left(\frac{2}{4-x}\right)+\left(\frac{2}{4+x}\right)

2=\frac{2(4+x)+2(4-x)}{(4-x)(4+x)}

2(4-x)(4+x)=2(4+x)+2(4-x)

2(4-x)(4+x)=2(4+x+4-x)

By cancelling 2 on both sides,

16-x^{2}=8

x^{2}=16-8=8

x=\sqrt{8}

x=2.828 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr}

Result:

Thus the speed of the stream is 2.828 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr}

Technician A says that galvanic activity is the result of a poor ground connection. Technician B says that electrolysis can occu
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Only B is correct.

Explanation:

Electrolysis and galvanic activity are two different ways of the passage of electricity. Electrolysis occurs at a spontaneous reaction, and galvanic activity needs an external force to happen.

For example, a cell works by a redox reaction, in which a material reduces (gain electrons), and the other oxides (loses electrons). As higher is the standard reduction potential of a material, as easy is to it to reduces. Thus, if a cell works with the reduction happens with the material with low standard reduction potential, then it works by galvanic activity.

When electronics are connected to the house system, it's necessary to do the ground connection, which will allow the electrons that are dissipated to go to the earth. So, it is done incorrectly, the electrons flow to the equipment, which they natural path. So, the electrolysis can occur with a poor ground connection.
