Olga is a park ranger in a large national park. The park is in a rural area that has no cellular phone service. Olga has a walki

e-talkie that allows her to her to transmit weather updates to other rangers in the park. Her walkie-talkie has a range of 10 miles in all directions. The other park rangers have receivers in their cars that can pick up her weather updates when they are in range of her walkie-talkie. On a particular day, Olga is at the ranger station in the center of the park. Her coworker Neil is doing a survey of the land by driving along a straight road through the park. The road that Neil is on starts 15 miles west and 15 miles south of the ranger station and ends 20 miles north and 10 miles east of the ranger station.
For approximately how many miles of road will Neil be able to receive Olga’s weather updates?

Answer:

0.7 miles

Explanation:

<u>Given</u>

<em>"Her walkie-talkie has a range of 10 miles in all directions."</em>

<em>"The road that Neil is on starts 15 miles west and 15 miles south of the ranger station and ends 20 miles north and 10 miles east of the ranger station."</em>

<u>Solve</u>

Range = 10

His range is 15

∴ 10 ÷ 15 = 0.66666666666 to nearest tenths

= 0.7

Therefore, It will approximately take 0.7 miles of road for Neil to be able to receive Olga’s weather updates.

Explanation:

The remaining part of the question is attached here

Solution

Most of the aquifers are recharged by rainfall or either the surface water that penetrates through the soil into the ground and reaches the aquifer. Hence, the soil type in these regions must be permeable. Gravel and coarse sand along with medium seize sand particles have high permeability. Hence, the soil of the region A (given in the attachment) must have coarse grain sand and gravel deposits.

Which of the following terms refers to using wooden structures or mechanical or hydraulic systems to support the sides of an exc
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Protective systems are methods of protecting workers from cave-ins of material that can fall or roll into an excavation, or from the collapse of nearby structures. As mentioned in earlier chapters, if an excavation is less than 5 feet deep, OSHA does not require a protective systems unless the competent person sees signs of a potential cave-in. (It is important to remember that a wall collapse in a trench four and 1/2 feet deep can still have serious results!) For trenches between 5 feet and 20 feet deep, shoring and sheeting, shielding, sloping and benching are all acceptable protective measures. It is up to the planners of the construction project and the competent person on site to determine which systems will work best. If an excavation is greater than 20 feet deep, a registered professional engineer must design the protective system.

Shoring systems are structures of timber, mechanical, or hydraulic systems that support the sides of an excavation and which are designed to prevent cave-ins.Sheeting is a type of shoring system that keeps the earth in position. It can be driven into the ground or work in conjunction with a shoring system. Driven sheeting is most frequently used for excavations open for long periods of time. Another type of sheeting, in which plates or shoring grade plywood (sometimes called Finland form) is used in conjunction with strutted systems such as hydraulic or timber shoring. These strutted systems are also referred to as active systems. The most frequently used strutted system involves aluminum hydraulic shoreswhich are lightweight, re-usable and installed and removed completely from above

Question below: (thanks!)
wel

Answer:

Frequency of SS dominant individuals is 0.57

Explanation:

The total population of rabbit is 650

Out of 650 rabbit, nearly 39 have recessive allele "s".

Hence, frequency of recessive genotype = \frac{39}{650} = 0.06

Frequency of recessive allele = \sqrt{0.06}

q = \sqrt{0.06} = 0.245

Frequency of dominant trait allele "S" p = 1-q = 1-0.245 = 0.755

Frequency of SS dominant individuals is p^{2} = 0.755^2 = 0.57
