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:)

Margaret [11]

Answer:

P=2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2

Explanation:

Given that,

A radio wave transmits 38.5 W/m² of power per unit area.

A flat surface of area A is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

We need to find the radiation pressure on it. It is given by the formula as follows :

P=\dfrac{2I}{c}

Where

c is speed of light

Putting all the values, we get :

P=\dfrac{2\times 38.5}{3\times 10^8}\\\\=2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2

So, the radiation pressure is 2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2.

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

\frac{t_1}{t_2} = \frac{sin\theta_1}{sin\theta_2}

Explanation:

The vertical component of the initial velocities are

v_v = v_0sin\theta

If we ignore air resistance, and let g = -9.81 m/s2. The the time it takes for the projectiles to travel, vertically speaking, can be calculated in the following motion equation

v_vt - gt^2/2 = s = 0

t(v_v - gt/2) = 0

v_v - gt/2 = 0

t = 2v_v/g = 2v_0sin\theta/g

So the ratio of the times of the flights is

t_1 / t_2 = \frac{2v_0sin\theta_1/g}{2v_0sin\theta_2/g} = \frac{sin\theta_1}{sin\theta_2}
