What is the purpose of the coagulation step in water treatment?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

It is, however, an important primary step in the water treatment process, because coagulation removes many of the particles, such as dissolved organic carbon, that make water difficult to disinfect. Because coagulation removes some of the dissolved substances, less chlorine must be added to disinfect the water.

What sort of process converts the mechanized energy in the ocean into electricity?

Answers

I think it is the wave energy. 
Wave energy also known as the ocean energy is the energy harnessed from the ocean or sea waves. It is a source of power that comes from the endless march of the waves as they roll into the shore then back out. Using wave energy is advantageous as they are environmental friendly as there are no harmful byproducts, and also the energy from waves can be taken directly into electricity-producing machinery and used to power generators. 

A child is given an initial push on a rope swing. On the first​ swing, the rope swings through an arc of 12 feet. On each successive​ swing, the length of the arc is 80​% of the previous length. After 14 ​swings, what total length will the rope have​ swung? When the child stops​ swinging, what total length will the rope have​ swung?

Answers

Answer:

After 14 swings, total length = 57.35 feet.

When the child stops swinging, Total length = 60 feet.

Explanation:

The total length of the rope after 14 swings form a geometric progression which is also known as exponential sequence.

The sum of the term in a Geometry progression is

Sₙ = a(1-rⁿ)/1-r.................(1)

Where Sₙ = sum of the nth term, a= first term, n= number of term, r= common ratio.

n=14, a= 12 feet, r=80% = 0.8.

Substituting the values above into equation(1)

S₁₄ = 12(1-0.8¹⁴)/1-0.8

S₁₄=  12(1-0.04398)/1-0.8

S₁₄=   12(0.95602)/0.2

S₁₄ = 11.47/0.2

S₁₄= 57.35 feet

∴ After 14 swings, the total length the rope will swing is = 57.35 feet.

The total length of the rope  when the child stop swinging = sum to infinity of the Geometry progression( exponential sequence).

The sum to infinity of an exponential sequence

S = a/1-r

Where a= first term= 12 feet, r= common ratio = 0.8.

∴ S= 12/1-0.8

  S= 12/0.2

  S = 60 feet

When the boy stops swinging, the total length the rope have swung = 60 feet.

The image formed by a convex spherical mirror will always bea. inverted and larger than the object.
b. upright and larger than the object.
c. inverted and smaller than the object.
d. upright and smaller than the object.

Answers



a. inverted and larger than the object.

A mirror is used to see your own reflection. Earlier in the days, people would use a still water to see their reflection. It is basically used for grooming. Spherical mirrors have been used by earlier mathematicians and physicist to conduct experiments related to geometry.
