Answer: D. Many more people crossed the mountains and settled between the Appalachians and the Mississippi

Explanation:

It was quite difficult to cross the Appalachian mountains at the time of the American colonies which led to the colonies being confined to the east of it.

This was until the late 1700s when Daniel Boone and a team of explorers heard that a path existed through the Appalachians and had been used by natives for a long time. After discovering this ''gap'' which was then named after an English prince, many more people were able to use it to settle more to the west of the continent.

Answer:

As many variables as we can coherently communicate in 2 dimensions

Explanation:

Visualization is a descriptive analytical technique that enables people to see trends and dependencies of data with the aid of graphical information tools. Some of the examples of visualization techniques are pie charts, graphs, bar charts, maps, scatter plots, correlation matrices etc.

When we utilize a visualization on paper/screen, that visualization is limited to exploring as many variables as we can coherently communicate in 2-dimensions (2D).

The underground storage of a gas station has leaked gasoline into the ground. Among the constituents of gasoline are benzene, wi

vovangra [49]

Answer:

a) benzene = 910 days

b) toluene = 1612.67 days

Explanation:

Given:

Kd = 1.8 L/kg (benzene)

Kd = 3.3 L/kg (toluene)

psolid = solids density = 2.6 kg/L

K = 2.9x10⁻⁵m/s

pores = n = 0.37

water table = 0.4 m

ground water = 15 m

u = K/n = (2.9x10⁻⁵ * (0.4/15)) / 0.37 = 2.09x10⁻⁶m/s

a) For benzene:

$R=1+\frac{\rho * K_{d} }{n}, \rho = 2.6\\ R=1+\frac{2.6*1.8}{0.37} =13.65$

The time will take will be:

$t=\frac{xR}{a} , x=12,a=0.18\\t=\frac{12*13.65}{0.18} =910days$

b) For toluene:

$R=1+\frac{2.6*3.3 }{0.37} = 24.19$

$t=\frac{12*24.19}{0.18} =1612.67days$

How does the clearance volume affect the efficiency of the Otto cycle?

eduard

Answer:

Explanation:

A smaller clearance volume means a higher compression. A higher compression means better thermal efficiency. However a compression ratio too high might be troublesome, as it can cause accidental ignition of the fuel-air mix. This is the reason why Otto cycle engines have lower compressions that Diesel engines. In a Diesel engine the mix ignites by compression instead of a spark.

An electric field is expressed in rectangular coordinates by E = 6x2ax + 6y ay +4az V/m.Find:a) VMN if point M and N are specifi

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

a.) -147V

b.) -120V

c.) 51V

Explanation:

a.) Equation for potential difference is the integral of the electrical field from a to b for the voltage V_ba = V(b)-V(a).

b.) The problem becomes easier to solve if you draw out the circuit. Since potential at Q is 0, then Q is at ground. So voltage across V_MQ is the same as potential at V_M.

c.) Same process as part b. Draw out the circuit and you'll see that the potential a point V_N is the same as the voltage across V_NP added with the 2V from the other box.

Honestly, these things take practice to get used to. It's really hard to explain this.
