Answer:

When the blood and the dialysate are flowing in the same direction, as the the dialysate and the blood move away from the region of higher concentration of the urea, to a region distant from the source, the concentration of urea in the blood stream and in the dialysis reach equilibrium and diffusion across the semipermeable membrane stops within the higher filter regions such as II, III, IV or V

However, for counter current flow, as the concentration of the urea in the blood stream becomes increasingly lesser the, it encounters increasingly unadulterated dialysate coming from the dialysate source, such that diffusion takes place in all regions of the filter

Find the angle (above the horizontal) at which a projectile achieves its maximum range, if y=y0.

KatRina [158]

The answer is 45 degrees.
According to the Kinematics of projectile motion, if the purpose is to maximize range, optimum angle of landing is always 45 degrees.If the purpose is to maximize range & projection height is zero, the optimum angle of projection (and landing) is 45 degrees.

Bjorn is holding a tennis ball outside a second floor window (3.5 meters from the ground) and billie jean is holding one outside

MArishka [77]

The answer is 1.01 x 10^(-11) N. I arrived to this answer through calculating the GPEs of both balls. Bjorn's ball has a GPE of 1.402 x 10^(-11) N. Billie Jean's ball has a GPE of <span>2.503 x 10^(-11) N. I subtracted the two and I found that Billie Jean's tennis ball has a GPE of 1.01 x 10^(-11) more than Bjorn's tennis ball.</span>

You are standing at the midpoint between two speakers, a distance D away from each. The speakers are playing the exact same soun

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

wave length of sound waves = velocity / frequency

= 340 / 170

λ = 2 m.

When the position of man is exactly at the meddle point between the speakers , sound waves from the speakers reaching man are in same phases ( path difference is zero. ) so intensity of sound is maximum .

Now , the man starts moving towards one of the speakers , his distance from one speaker becomes closer than the other creating path difference for the sound waves reaching his ears.

If he walks a distance of .5 m towards one speaker , path difference created

= .5 x 2 = 1 m

So , path difference = λ /2 ,

there will be destructive interference so minimum sound will be heard there.

When he walks a distance of 1 m , path difference created = 2m

path difference = λ

so there is constructive interference and maximum sound will be heard there.

Again we he walks a distance of 1.5 m , path difference created = 3 m

path difference = 3 λ /2

So there will be destructive interference so minimum sound will be heard there.

In this way we see that man starts from a point of maximum sound intensity , reaches a point of minimum sound intensity , then reaches a point of maximum sound intensity . At last he reaches a position of minimum sound intensity.

What is Otter's average velocity over his entire trip when it takes him 2 minutes to walk 100 meters north and another 1 minute

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

0.50m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity is the change in displacement of a body with respect to time.

Velocity = ∆S/∆t

∆S = 100m - 70m

∆S = 30m

∆t = 2min - 1 min

∆t = 1min = 60secs

Substitute the given parameters into the formula for velocity

Velocity = 30m/60s

Velocity = 1/2 m/s

Average Velocity = 0.5m/s

Upon impact, bicycle helmets compress, thus lowering the potentially dangerous acceleration experienced by the head. A new kind

Dimas [21]

Answer:

acceleration = -15.3g

Explanation:

given data

speed = 6.00 m/s.

thickness = 12

moves the entire = 12.0 cm

solution

we will use here equation that is

v² - u² = 2 × a × s ........................1

here v = 0 is the final velocity and u = 6.0 m/s is initial velocity and s= 0.12 m is the distance covered and a is the acceleration

so we put here value and get acceleration

a = $\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}$

a = $\frac{0^2-6^2}{2\times 0.12}$

a = -150 m/s² ( negative sign means it is a deceleration )

and

acceleration in units of g

a = $\frac{-150}{9.8}$

a = -15.3 g
