John Snow, an English physician, has observed that disease is becoming more prevalent in a local neighborhood and he wants to know why. He collects information about the local people, including how many family members contracted the disease and where they live. John discovers that the disease is most common in homes located closest to the town’s water pump. John contrives an explanation: that the illness is waterborne and people are contracting the disease from water they retrieve from the town’s water pump. After petitioning the authorities, the handle at the pump is removed. John collects data about disease incidence and finds that occurrence of the disease is greatly reduced. John concludes that the water from the pump was causing the illness.

Suppose you have a culture of bacteria, where the density of each bacterium is 2.0 g/cm³. a. If each bacterium is 5µm × 5µm × 20µm in size, find the number of bacteria if their total mass is 30 grams. Recall that 1µm = 10−6 meters. b. Suppose that you learn that the sizes of bacteria range from 4µm × 5µm × 15µmto5µm × 6µm × 25µm. What is the range of the possible number of bacteria making up the total mass of 30 grams?
A U – tube with some mercury at the bottom is set up vertically and twelve centimeter of water is added into one arm of the tube. Methylated spirits is then added carefully into the other arm of the U – tube until the mercury levels are the same in both arms. It is observed that the level methylated spirit is higher. What is the density of methylated spirit if the methylated spirit column is fifteen centimeter high?Required to answer. Single choice.

- Our molecular model of matter describes a fluid as consisting of lots of little particles (atoms or molecules) moving around very fast. Collisions between the molecules makes the particles of the fluid change directions and speeds often and randomly. We've talked about two different phenomena that depend on these random molecular interactions: viscosity and diffusion. Viscosity is the way collisions with other parts of the fluid slow down faster-moving bits of fluid, and diffusion is the way collisions spread out concentrations of molecules. Let's consider the viscosity and diffusion coefficients might depend on the properties of the fluid by dimensional analysis ▼ Part A What are the units of viscosity, in base SI units (kg, m, s)? kg ms Submit ✓ Correct Part B Previous Answers What are the units of the diffusion coefficient, in base SI units (kg, m, s)? m² 8 Submit Previous Answers ✓ Correctarrow_forwardThe primary organs of the respiratory system are the _____, which carry out this ecchange of gases as you breathe.
