Answer:

Nature selects organisms with specific heritable traits to survive and reproduce

Explanation:

The Evolution Theory by natural selection dictates that organisms with specific inherited characteristics have better survival chances in the new environment.

Inheriting positive traits such as resistance to a certain disease will improve the survival chances of the organism to enable it reproduce and pass that gene to the next generation.

Nonmetals in the periodic table have a negative oxidation number. Which statement best explains why?

Tema [17]

They have a negative oxidation number because nonmetals gain electrons, thus making them negatively charged ions (anions). Metals become cations and have a positive charge because they lose electrons.

A confined aquifer with a porosity of 0.15 is 30 m thick. The potentiometric surface elevation at two observation wells 1000 m a

AlekseyPX

Answer:

Part (a) The flow rate per unit width of the aquifer is 1.0875 m³/day

Part (b) The specific discharge of the flow is 0.0363 m/day

Part (c) The average linear velocity of the flow is 0.242 m/day

Part (d) The time taken for a tracer to travel the distance between the observation wells is 4132.23 days = 99173.52 hours

Explanation:

Part (a) the flow rate per unit width of the aquifer

From Darcy's law;

$q = -Kb\frac{dh}{dl}$

where;

q is the flow rate

K is the permeability or conductivity of the aquifer = 25 m/day

b is the aquifer thickness

dh is the change in th vertical hight = 50.9m - 52.35m = -1.45 m

dl is the change in the horizontal hight = 1000 m

q = -(25*30)*(-1.45/1000)

q = 1.0875 m³/day

Part (b) the specific discharge of the flow

$V = \frac{Q}{A} = \frac{q}{b} = -K\frac{dh}{dl}\\\\V = -(25 m/d).(\frac{-1.45 m}{1000 m}) = 0.0363 m/day$

V = 0.0363 m/day

Part (c) the average linear velocity of the flow assuming steady unidirectional flow

Va = V/Φ

Φ is the porosity = 0.15

Va = 0.0363 / 0.15

Va = 0.242 m/day

Part (d) the time taken for a tracer to travel the distance between the observation wells

The distance between the two wells = 1000 m

average linear velocity = 0.242 m/day

Time = distance / speed

Time = (1000 m) / (0.242 m/day)

Time = 4132.23 days

$= 4132.23 days *\frac{24 .hrs}{1.day} = 99173.52, hours$

A van de Graaff generator accelerates electrons so that they have energies equivalent to that attained by falling through a pote

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete hence I will give you a general answer on how A van de Graaff generator works

answer :

If the electrons falls through a PD of 150mV the electron will gain energy of 150MeV

Explanation:

when a Van de Graff generator is used to accelerate an electron through a PD ( potential difference ) of any value the particle ( electron ) the electron will gain energy ( eV ) which is is equivalent in value of the PD it accelerated through

hence if the electrons falls through a PD of 150mV the electron will gain energy of 150MeV

The diagram shows two forces of equal magnitude acting on an object. If the common magnitude of the forces is 3.6 N and the angl

Nuetrik [128]

<h3>Answer</h3>

6.6 N pointing to the right

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Given that,

two forces acting of magnitude 3.6N

angle between them = 48°

To find,

the third force that will cause the object to be in equilibrium

Find the vertical and horizontal components of the two forces

vertical force1 = sin(24)(3.6)

vertical force2= -sin(24)(3.6)

<em>(negative sign since it is acting on opposite direction)</em>

vertical force3 = sin(24)(3.6) - sin(24)(3.6)

= 0

horizontal force1 = cos(24)(3.6)

horizontal force2= cos(24)(3.6)

horizontal force3 = cos(24)(3.6) + cos(24)(3.6)

= 2(cos(24)(3.6))

= 6.5775 N

≈ 6.6 N
