1 answer:

5 0

<span>Silt is like a dust in terms of size. It is solid, water like rivers transport, and deposits it. It is mostly made up of minerals and rock particles. It is form due to erosion of rocks. Therefore, the fine soil particles deposited by rivers is called Silt.</span>

Answer:

a)0.024

b)0.148

Explanation:

Let 's represent the set of deer ticks Carrying Lyme disease with L and the set of deer ticks carrying Human Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis with H

Given:

P(L) = 0.16

P(H) = 0.10

P(L n H) = 0.1 ·P( L u H )

Hence, P( L u H) = 10 ·P( L nH)

(a)

Hence. using the equation. P(L U H) = P(L) + P(H) - P(L n H)

Hence, 10 · P(L n H ) = 0.16 + 0.1 - P(L n H )

Hence, 11 · P(L n H) = 0.16 + 0.1 = 0.26

Hence, P(L n H) = 0.26/11=0.024

(b)

We know that condition probability P(H ║ L) = p(L n H)/P(L)

hence, P(H ║ L) =(0.26/11)/0.16 =0.148

When the mass is removed, the length of the cable is found to be l0 = 4.66 m. After the mass is added, the length is remeasured

zaharov [31]

Answer:

$\gamma=6.07*10^5\frac{N}{m^2}$

Explanation:

For a linear elastic material Young's modulus is a constant that is given by:

$\gamma=\frac{F/A}{\Delta L/L_0}$

Here, F is the force exerted on an object under tensio, A is the area of the cross-section perpendicular to the applied force, $\Delta L$ is the amount by which the length of the object changes and $L_0$ is the original length of the object. In this case the force is the weight of the mass:

$F=mg\\F=55kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\\F=539N$

Replacing the given values in Young's modulus formula:

$\gamma=\frac{F/\pi r^2}{(L_1-L_0)/L_0}\\\gamma=\frac{539N/\pi(0.045m)^2}{(5.31m-4.66m)/4.66m}\\\gamma=6.07*10^5\frac{N}{m^2}$

You are on vacation in San Francisco and decide to take a cable car to see the city. A 5800-kgkg cable car goes 260 mm up a hill

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

$4.325\times10^6J$

Explanation:

Mass of the cable car, m = 5800 kg

It goes 260 m up a hill, along a slope of $\theta=17^o$

Therefore vertical elevation of the car = $260sin\theta=260sin17^o=76.0166m$

Now, when you get into the cable car, it's velocity is zero, that is, initial kinetic energy is zero (since K.E. = $\frac{1}{2} mv^2$ ). Similarly as the car reaches the top, it halts and hence final kinetic energy is zero.
