When the tube feet of an echinoderm contract, the direction of water flow typically reverses, as the contraction creates a pressure change within the water vascular system. This pressure change forces water out of the tube feet, which can lead to a retraction of the foot. Consequently, the contraction helps in locomotion by allowing the organism to pull itself along a surface. Overall, the contraction of tube feet effectively facilitates movement and provides control over the direction of water flow.

Why do my feet experience much pain whenever i try to go into cold water it happens when i try to go into the ocean and my feet have to get numb before i can actually swim im skinny and healthy?

Cold atoms help items contract, and in this case, the cold water is contracting the arteries, causing pain. This is not fatal or harmful as it is the same as brain freeze. You may want to get your feet looked though, probably by a rheumatologist. The coldness also affects those with arthritis and osteoporosis.

A scalar has distance but no direction. A vector has distance and direction. "12 feet up" has distance (12 feet) and direction (up), so is a vector.


How many gallons of water are in a pool that is L shape 16 x 32 feet 3.25 feet deep on each end and 3.75 feet deep in the middle 16 x 22 feet 3.5 feet deep in the shallow and 8 feet in the deep?

Such a pool cannot exits: what is its depth at the the vertex of the L shape? If you consider one direction it is 3.25 or 3.75 feet deep but at the same point, in the other direction, the depth is 3.5 feet!


What happens if Cecil goes any number of feet in one direction and then goes the other direction Where does he end up Ho w do you know?

If Cecil goes a certain number of feet in one direction and then reverses his direction by the same distance, he will end up back at his original starting point. This is because the distances in opposite directions cancel each other out, resulting in no net displacement. Therefore, regardless of how far he travels in one direction, returning the same distance leads him back to where he began.
