A golfer and her caddy see lightning nearby. the golfer is about to take his shot with a metal club, while her caddy is holding

a plastic handled umbrella. which person is at greater risk? Explain why?

Answer:

The golfer is at greater risk.

Explanation:

The golfer is holding a metal club. Metal is a good conductor for electricity (lightning), meaning electrons can pass through easily. Her caddy is at lesser risk because she is holding a plastic handled umbrella. Plastic is an insulator, which does not easily allow the movement of electrons to pass.

A well is located in a 20.1-m thick confined aquifer with a conductivity of 14.9 m/day and a storativity of 0.0051. If the well
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

S = 5.7209 M

Explanation:

Given data:

B = 20.1 m

conductivity ( K ) = 14.9 m/day

Storativity  ( s ) = 0.0051

1 gpm = 5.451 m^3/day

calculate the Transmissibility ( T ) = K * B

                                                       = 14.9 * 20.1 = 299.5  m^2/day

Note :

t = 1

U = ( r^2* S ) / (4*T*<em> t </em>)

  = ( 7^2 * 0.0051 ) / ( 4 * 299.5 * 1 ) = 2.0859 * 10^-4

Applying the thesis method

W(u) = -0.5772 - In(U)

       = 7.9

next we calculate the pumping rate from well ( Q ) in m^3/day

= 500 * 5.451 m^3 /day

= 2725.5 m^3 /day

Finally calculate the drawdown at a distance of 7.0 m form the well after 1 day of pumping

S = \frac{Q}{4\pi T} * W (u)

 where : Q = 2725.5

               T = 299.5

               W(u)  = 7.9

substitute the given values into equation above

S = 5.7209 M

The way most recursive functions are written, they seem to be circular at first glance, defining the solution of a problem in te
EastWind [94]

Question Continuation

int factorial(int n) {

if(n == 0)

return 1;

else

return n * factorial(n - 1);

}

Provide a brief explanation why this recursive function works.

Show all steps involved in calculating factorial(3) using the function defined.

Answer:

1. Brief explanation why this recursive function works.

First, the recursive method factorial is defined.

This is the means through with the machine identifies the method.

The method is defined as integer, the machine will regard it as integer.

When the factorial is called from anywhere that has access to it, which in this case is within the factorial class itself. This means you can call it from the main method, or you can call it from the factorial method itself. It's just a function call that, well, happens to call itself.

2. Steps to calculate factorial(3)

1 First, 3 is assigned to n.

2. At line 2, the machine checks if n equals 0

3. If yes, the machine prints 1

4. Else; it does the following from bottom to top

factorial(3):

return 3*factorial(2);

return 2*factorial(1):

return 1;

Which gives 3 * 2 * 1 = 6

5. Then it prints 6, which is the result of 3!

The extruder head in a fused- deposition modeling setup has a diameter of 1.25 mm (0.05 in) and produces layers that are 0.25mm
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The time taken will be "1 hour 51 min". The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Number of required layers:

= \frac{38}{0.25}

= 152 \ layers

Diameter (d):

= 1.25 mm

Velocity (v):

= 40 mm/s

Now,

The area of one layer will be:

= 38\times 38 \ mm^2

= 1444 \ mm^2

The area covered every \second will be:

= d\times v

= 1.25\times 40

= 50 \ mm^2

The time required to deposit one layer will be:

= \frac{1444}{50}

= 28.88 \ sec

The time required for one layer will be:

= 15 \ sec

∴ Total times required for one layer will be:

= 15+28.88

= 43.88 \ sec

So,

Number of layers = 152

Therefore,

Total time will be:

= 152\times 43.88

= 6669.76 \ sec

= 1 \ hour \ 51 \ min

Conductivity is the reciprocal of what?
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Electrical conductivity or specific conductance is the reciprocal of electrical resistivity. It represents a material's ability to conduct electric current. It is commonly signified by the Greek letter σ (sigma), but κ (kappa) (especially in electrical engineering) and γ (gamma) are sometimes used.
