Answer: <em>Some methods of flood control have been practiced since ancient times.</em>

<em />

Explanation: <em>These methods include planting vegetation to retain extra water, terracing hillsides to slow flow downhill, and the construction of floodways (man-made channels to divert floodwater).</em>

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. What does this phrase mean in Physics?
Trava [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Term "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" is derived from Newton's third law of motion.

This can be explained by an example of a block placed on the flat surface.

The weight of the block applies an action force on the surface while Surface applies a reaction force on the block. Action and reaction force applies to different bodies other would have canceled each other. Action and reaction forces are always acting in pairs. The magnitude of reaction force depends upon the action forces as both of them are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

Why do astronomers use the word on to describe angles on the sky rather than angles in the sky?
Sever21 [200]
<span>The use of the word on instead of the word in when referring to the angular distance between celestial objects comes about because all of the objects appear to be on the celestial sphere and at an indeterminable distance. While we know that objects are at different distances in the sky, their distance from Earth is irrelevant in determining the angular distance between the two objects as viewed from Earth.</span>

Calculate the wavelengths of the first five emission lines of the Balmer series for hydrogen
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Balmer series in a hydrogen atom relates the possible electron transitions down to the n = 2 position to the wavelength of the emission that scientists observe. In quantum physics, when electrons transition between different energy levels around the atom (described by the principal quantum number, n) they either release or absorb a photon. The Balmer series describes the transitions from higher energy levels to the second energy level and the wavelengths of the emitted photons. You can calculate this using the Rydberg formula.

A planet exerts a gravitational force of magnitude 9e22 N on a star. If the planet were 2 times closer to the star (that is, if
Dmitrij [34]

To solve this problem we will use the related concepts in Newtonian laws that describe the force of gravitational attraction. We will use the given value and then we will obtain the proportion of the new force depending on the Radius. From there we will observe how much the force of attraction increases in the new distance.

Planet gravitational force

F_p = 6*10^{22}N

F_p = \frac{GMm}{R^2}

F_p = 9*10^{22}N

Distance between planet and star

r = \frac{R}{2}

Gravitational force is

F = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

Applying the new distance,

F = \frac{GMm}{(\frac{R}{2})^2}

F =  4\frac{GMm}{R^2}

Replacing with the previous force,

F = 4F_p

Replacing our values

F= 4(9*10^{22}N)

F = 36*10^{22}N

Therefore the magnitude of the force on the star due to the planet is  36*10^{22}N
