This is because the nasal mucus is blocking the nasal passage, meaning that if there is anything that he/she is trying to smell will be blocked by the mucus and will not be able to go down into the nasal passage where the smells are detected.

If you have a runny nose then the mucus will block the path that smell goes through. So if you are trying to smell a flower then you will have a hard time because the mucus is in the way, or blocking the entrance path. Hope this helps:)

What is the ratio of the intensities of an earthquake P wave passing through the Earth and detected at two points 14 km and 49 k
Molodets [167]

Answer:

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=12.25

Explanation:

r_1 = 14 km

r_2 = 49 km

Intensity of a wave is inversely proportional to distance

I\propto \dfrac{1}{r^2}

So,

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{49^2}{14^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=12.25

The ratio of the intensities is \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=12.25

Furkat [3]
            <span> Using conservation of energy

Potential Energy (Before) = Kinetic Energy (After)

mgh = 0.5mv^2

divide both sides by m

gh = 0.5v^2

h = (0.5V^2)/g

h = (0.5*2.2^2)/9.81

h = 0.25m

How does Mercury's close proximity to the sun and thin atmosphere affect its ability to maintain liquid water
alekssr [168]

Answer

A thin atmosphere does not supply much oxygen, and the heat from the sun would evaporate it, because mercury is close to the sun.

About how much longer can the Sun continue to generate energy by nuclear reactions in its core?
QveST [7]

Answer: 5billion years

Explanation: The sun produces energy through radioactive fusion reaction.

Nebula theory states that the gaseous particles of the Earth collapsed as a result of its own gravity which continuously lead to fusion reaction for the production of nuclear energy.

The Core of the Sun is that area up to 25% from the radius of the sun,here the pressure here range up to 250million atmosphere containing mainly hydrogen which gets converted in Helium molecule. The core is the center for energy production accounting for more than 98%, nuclear energy is transmitted at about 4.3million metric tons per second.
