Why are water storage tanks usually built on towers or hilltops??

Physics

Komok [63]3 years ago

Because when you open the faucet, you want the water to
rush out with pressure, not just dribble or ooze out.  The
water has to be supplied to the user with pressure.  Either
you supply it from a height, or else you'll need to use pumps
to make the pressure.

What parts of an atom can change during a nuclear reaction that cannot change during a chemical reaction? Question 15 options: A
viva [34]
Neutrons and protons cannot be removed from nucleus from chemical reactions because they are strongly held together but nuclear reactions are strong enough to separate them. Hence option A is correct.

A crate is placed on an adjustable, incline board. the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the board is 0.29.
sasho [114]

Let the angle be Θ (theta)

Let the mass of the crate be m.

a) When the crate just begins to slip. At that moment the net force will be equal to zero and the static friction will be at the maximum vale.

Normal force (N) = mg CosΘ

μ (coefficient of static friction) = 0.29

Static friction = μN = μmg CosΘ

Now, along the ramp, the equation of net force will be:

mg SinΘ - μmg CosΘ = 0

mg SinΘ = μmg CosΘ

tan Θ = μ

tan Θ = 0.29

Θ = 16.17°

b) Let the acceleration be a.

Coefficient of kinetic friction = μ = 0.26

Now, the equation of net force will be:

mg sinΘ - μ mg CosΘ = ma

a = g SinΘ - μg CosΘ

Plugging the values

a = 9.8 × 0.278 - 0.26 × 9.8 × 0.96

a = 2.7244 - 2.44608

a = 0.278 m/s^2

Hence, the acceleration is 0.278 m/s^2

Define neuron and nerve<br>cell​
san4es73 [151]

Answer: Hi!

A neuron is a basic working unit of the brain. Neurons are special cells designed to transfer information to other nerve, muscle, or gland cells. They are pretty cool - looking too! (A slightly irregular circular shape with branches reaching out from all sides.) A neuron is a nerve cell. Nerve cells are the way of communication in the nervous system.

Hope this helps!

At room temperature, sound travels at a speed of about 344 m/s in air. You see a distant flash of lightning and hear the thunder
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

<em>The lighten travels 0.853 miles.</em>

Explanation:

Sound: Sound is a form of wave which is conveyed through an elastic medium from a vibrating body to a listener.

v = 2x/t .......................................... Equation 1

making x the subject of the equation

x = vt/2........................................ Equation 2

Where v = velocity of sound in air, x = distance traveled by the sound, t = time

Given: v = 344 m/s t = 8 s

Substituting into equation 2

x = 344(8)/2

x = 1376 m.

x = 1376×0.00062 miles = 0.853 miles

<em>Thus the lighten travels 0.853 miles.</em>
