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:)

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

t= 1.2 hours

Explanation:

Define first di distance between the points, so

\bar{x}_{canoe}=2*(2+3)=10

\bar{x}_{water}=2*2=4

The distance is

d= \bar{x}_{canoe}- \bar{x}_{water}

d= 10-4 = 6miles

t = \frac{x}{v} = \frac{6}{2+3}

t= 1.2 hours

Sam receives the kicked football on the 3 yd line and runs straight ahead toward the goal line before cutting to the right at th
Pie

Answer:

Distance: 21 yd, displacement: 15 yd, gain in the play: 12 yd

Explanation:

The distance travelled by Sam is just the sum of the length of each part of Sam's motion, regardless of the direction. Initially, Sam run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line, so (15-3)=12 yd. Then, he run also 9 yd to the right. Therefore, the total distance is

d = 12 + 9 = 21 yd

The displacement instead is a vector connecting the starting point with the final point of the motion. Sam run first 12 yd straight ahead and then 9 yd to the right; these two motions are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the displacement simply by using Pythagorean's theorem:

d=\sqrt{12^2+9^2}=15 yd

Finally, the yards gained by Sam in the play are simply given by the distance covered along the forward-backward direction only. Since Sam only run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line along this direction, then the gain in this play was

d = 15 - 3 = 12 yd
