Facts about river deltas

1 answer:

7 0

Deltas are complex depositional landforms that develop at the mouths of rivers. They are composed of sediment that is deposited as a river enters a standing body of water and loses forward momentum. Famous deltas include the Mississippi delta in Louisiana and the Nile delta in Egypt.

Jen pushed a box for a distance of 80m with 20 N of force. How much work did she do?

Drupady [299]

The answer is 1,600 J.

A work (W) can be expressed as a product of a force (F) and a distance (d):
W = F · d

We have:
W = ?
F = 20 N = 20 kg*m/s²
d = 80 m
_____
W = 20 kg*m/s² * 80 m
W = 20 * 80 kg*m/s² * m
W = 1600 kg*m²/s²
W = 1600 J

You throw a bouncy rubber ball and a wet lump of clay, both of mass m, at a wall. Both strike the wall at speed v, but while the

Answer:

The fifth option is the correct answer: mv; 2 mv

Explanation:

Change of Momentum

Assume an object has a momentum p1 and after some interaction it now has a momentum p2, the change of momentum is

$\Delta p=p_2-p_1$

The momentum is computed as

$p=mv$

Where m is the mass of the object and v its speed. Now let's analyze the situation of both the ball and the clay.

The clay has an initial speed v and a mass m, thus its initial momentum is

$p_1=mv$

When it hits the wall, it sticks, thus its final speed is 0 and

$p_2=0$

The change of momentum is

$\Delta p=0-mv=-mv$

The absolute change is mv

Now for the ball, the initial condition is the same as it was for the clay, but the ball hits back at the same speed, thus its final momentum is

$p_2=-mv$

The change of momentum is

$\Delta p=-mv-mv=-2mv$

The absolute change is 2mv

The fifth option is the correct answer: mv; 2 mv

For any molecule, formula unit, or ion, the sum of the average atomic masses of all the atoms represented in a formula is the.

alukav5142 [94]

The mass of a substance is given in atomic mass units and is calculated by adding the average atomic masses of all the atoms in the substance's chemical formula.

<h3>What empirical formula represents the total average atomic mass of every atom?</h3>

The Method The average atomic masses of all the atoms included in a formula's representation are added to get the mass of any molecule, formula unit, or ion. It has no bearing on the number of significant figures because the number of atoms is an exact quantity. One H2O molecule weighs 18.02 amu on average.

<h3>What connection exists between the empirical formula and the molecular formula?</h3>

You can determine the number of atoms of each element in a molecule using its molecular formula. These empirical formulations provide the most basic or reduced elemental ratio of a compound. The empirical formula and the molecular formula of a substance are same if the molecular formula can no longer be decreased.

A horizontal compass is placed 21 cm due south from a straight vertical wire carrying a 36 a current downward. in what direction

Anit [1.1K]

The needle of a compass will always lies along the magnetic field lines of the earth.
A magnetic declination at a point on the earth’s surface equal to zero implies that
the horizontal component of the earth’s magnetic field line at that specific point lies along
the line of the north-south magnetic poles.

The presence of a current-carrying wire creates an additional 
magnetic field that combines with the earth’s magnetic field. Since magnetic
fields are vector quantities, therefore the magnetic field of the earth and the magnetic field of the vertical wire must be combined vectorially.

Where:

B1 = magnetic field of the earth along the x-axis = 0.45 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T

B2 = magnetic field due to the straight vertical wire along the y-axis

We can calculate for B2 using Amperes Law:

B2 = μ₀ i / [ 2 π R ]

B2 = [ 4π × 10 ⁻ ⁷ T • m / A ] ( 36 A ) / [ 2 π (0.21 m ) ] 
B2 = 5.97 × 10 ⁻ ⁵ T = 0.60 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T

The angle can be calculated using tan function:
tan θ = y / x = B₂ / B₁ = 0.60 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T / 0.45 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T 
tan θ = 1.326

θ = 53°

The compass needle points along the direction of 53° west of north.
