Answer:

The defining characteristic of potable water is that it can be consumed without risk of harm.

Explanation:

Drinking Water is all water suitable for consumption. Water is a colorless, odorless (odorless), tasteless (tasteless) and tasteless (unsalted) liquid, essential for human survival.

There must be a certain amount of dissolved mineral salts, which are important for health. In addition, it must be free of toxic materials and microorganisms, such as bacteria, protozoa, etc.

Finding, collecting, treating and distributing water is a very complex process, being very expensive and depending on conditions.

How much force is needed to lift a 25-kg mass at a constant verlocity?
Troyanec [42]

-- In order to achieve constant verlocity, the net force on the mass must be zero.  So if there ARE any forces acting on it, they must be balanced.

-- There is already a force on the mass that can't be eliminated . . . the force of gravity.

-- That force due to gravity is (mass x gravity) = (25 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = <em><u>245N</u></em> in the <u><em>downward</em></u> direction.

-- In order to 'balance' the forces and make them add up to zero, we have to provide another force of <em>245N</em>, all in the <em>upward</em> direction.

-- Then the forces on the object will be balanced, the NET force on it will be zero, and whichever way you start it moving, it will continue to move at a cornstant verlocity.

A train goes up a hill with a 15º incline. If the train has constant speed of 22 m/s, what are the vertical and horizontal compo
Kobotan [32]
Any two-dimensional vector in cartesian (x,y) coordinates can be broken down into individual horizontal and vertical components using trigonometry. If a train goes up a hill with 15 degree incline at a speed of 22 m/s, the horizontal component is 22cos(15)=21.3 m/s and the vertical component is 22sin(15)=5.5 m/s.

The speed of sound in air is 10 times faster than the speed of a wave on a certain string. The density of the string is 0.002kg/
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The tension on the string is 2.353 N.

Explanation:

Given;

the speed of sound in air, v₀ = 343 m/s

then, the speed of sound on the string, v = 343 / 10 = 34.3 m/s

mass per unit length, m/l = μ = 0.002 kg/m

The speed of sound on the string is given as;

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\v^2 = \frac{T}{\mu} \\\\T = v^2 \mu

where;

T is the tension on the string

T = (34.3)²(0.002)

T = 2.353 N

Therefore, the tension on the string is 2.353 N.

Frequency is a measure of how many waves pass by in one second. <br> a. true <br> b. false
Elanso [62]
True. Waves are measured in Hz. Wavelength is also measured in metres (m) - it is a length after all. The frequency, f, of a wave is the number of waves passing a point in a certain time. We normally use a time of one second, so this gives frequency the unit hertz (Hz), since one hertz is equal to one wave per second.
