Answer:

A waterwheel in a river or hydraulic wheel, refers to the device which circular form that transforms the water flow into other useful form of energy. It was built in ancient times to agricultural activities purposes, which made people able to take advantage of the strength of the river current.

This waterwheel concept could be used as an analogy for the movement of the flow of energy and matter in the ecosystem, both energy movements are circular, that is, cyclic. The waterwheel uses the conservation of energy theorem, which expresses that the energy is a constant that it gets transformed to different ways, this concept is presents in the waterwheel and the energy and matter flow in the ecosystem. So, this couls be an accurate comparison between them, there are cyclic energy transformations.

On the other hand, an inaccurate comparison between them could be in the literal scenario, that is, the process invoved in the energy and matter flow in the ecosystem are not present in a waterwheel process, which of them have different processes that performs a cyclic energy transformation.

With the water wheel, the entropy of the system increases. An ecosystem exhibits emergent behavior. The ecosystem has a natural control system, the water wheel does not, because it's not a feedback system.

With countercurrent flow, diffusion happened in all regions of the filter. Explain why
jeka94

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

A square loop of wire with initial side length 10 cm is placed in a magnetic field of strength 1 T. The field is parallel to the
Fofino [41]

Answer:

2 x 10⁻³ volts

Explanation:

B = magnetic of magnetic field parallel to the axis of loop = 1 T

\frac{dA}{dt} = rate of change of area of the loop = 20 cm²/s = 20 x 10⁻⁴ m²

θ = Angle of the magnetic field with the area vector = 0

E = emf induced in the loop

Induced emf is given as

E = B \frac{dA}{dt}

E = (1) (20 x 10⁻⁴ )

E = 2 x 10⁻³ volts

E = 2 mV

) What is the electric potential due to the nucleus of hydrogen at a distance of 7.50× 10-11 m? Assume the potential is equal to
ohaa [14]
For this, we need the formula:
V = k q / r
where k is the Coulombs law constant = 9 x 10^9 N
q is the charge of the hydrogen nucleus (proton) = <span>1.6 x 10^-19 C</span> 
r is the distance
Simply plug in the values and solve for V

Andy is waiting at the signal. As soon as the light turns green, he accelerates his car at a uniform rate of 8.00 meters/second2
Tatiana [17]
You can reason it out like this:

-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.

-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.

-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is  (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s

-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s

                                                                           =  3,600 meters .
___________________________________

The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for
distance covered when accelerating from rest:

       Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²

                       = (1/2) ·      (8 m/s²)     · (30 sec)²

                       =      (4 m/s²)          ·      (900 sec²)

                       =            3600 meters.

_________________________________

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.

When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds.

How does he do that ?

By accelerating at 8 m/s².  That's about 0.82 G  !

He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph ! 

He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.
