Rain water that mixes with sewage has two effects on treatment plant performance. The first issue is that it thins out the concentration of sewage. This may sound like a good thing but it's not. Wastewater treatment is a biological process and like everything that involves living things it requires a regular food supply to survive. If you thin out the food supply you can expect the biology to perform poorly. Even so, this generally doesn't cause significant problems. Instead it just makes normal performance a little worse then returns to normal once the flow goes back down.

A 1000-kilogram car traveling with a velocity of 20. meters per second decelerates uniformly at -5.0 meters per second2 until it

Elis [28]

Answer:

-20000 kgm/s

Explanation:

Impulse: This can be defined as the product of the mass of a body and its change in velocity. The S.I unit of impulse is kgm/s.

Mathematically, impulse can be expressed as

I = m(v-u).............. Equation 1.

Where I = impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest, m = mass of the car, u = initial velocity of the car, v = final velocity of the car.

Given: m = 1000 kg, u = 20 m/s, v = 0 m/s ( to rest)

Substitute into equation 1

I = 100(0-20)

I = 1000(-20)

I = -20000 kgm/s

Hence the impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest = -20000 kgm/s

Explain how energy balance sets planetary temperature? Imagine a planet colder than expected for energy balance and explain why

RUDIKE [14]

The planetary temperature energy balance is obtained by radiating back the absorbed radiation energy from outer-space, by the planet and thus acquiring thermal equilibrium.

What is the process of attaining thermal equilibrium by Earth?

The Stefan-Boltzmann law states that the more the temperature a planet has, the more it will radiate out to reach thermal equilibrium.

We know that outer space contains large masses of radiative energy freely distributed in its vast expanse. A small fraction of this energy is absorbed by the Earth through the atmosphere, surface land, clouds etc.

Now, radiative balance is achieved when a planet's surface continuously warms up until it reaches its peak at which point the same amount of absorbed energy can then be radiated back to space. The relative amount of energy radiated back by a planet is dependent upon the size of the planet.

A colder planet relatively absorbs lower amount of radiation energy from space. In some time, as the planet heats up enough, the energy is radiated back to the space attaining thermal equilibrium.

Complete the following sentence: The term coherence relates to the phase relationship between two waves. the polarization state

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

the phase relationship between two waves.

Explanation:

Coherence describes all properties of the correlation between physical quantities between waves. It is an ideal property of waves that determines their interference. In a situation in which there is a correlation or phase relationship between two waves. If the properties of one of the waves can be measure directly, then, some of the properties of the other wave can be calculated.

If Sherry took her pulse for 6 seconds and felt 14 beats, What would her heart rate be?

Tom [10]

Answer:

140 beats per minute

Explanation:

You have to multiply the ratio 14 beats/6 seconds by 10 because 6 seconds times 10 to get 1 minute. The answer you get is 140 beats/60 seconds.
