Wetland reduction has caused a decrease in the absorption zones for excess water. If the excess water cannot be absorbed by the soil, it increases the incidence and magnitude of flooding.

Mars had an orbital period of 1.88 years. In two or more complete sentences,explain how to calculate the average distance from m

Vanyuwa [196]

This is an interesting problem involving astronomy, in fact, simple physics.
Let r=distance of sun to mars, in metres

Mars had an orbital period of 1.88 years.
=>
tangential velocity, v, of the planet, in m/s is
$v=\frac{2\pi{r}}{T}$
 $=\frac{2\pi{r}}{1.88*365.25*86400}$ m/s, accounting for leap years
$=3.371*10^{-8}\pi{r}$ m/s

The centripetal force, Fc, generated is
$Fc=\frac{mv^2}{r}$
where m=mass of mars = 6.39*10^(24) kg
$=\frac{mv^2}{r}$
$=\frac{6.39*10^{24}v^2}{r}$
$=7.26168*10^9\pi^2r$

The gravitation pull from the sun, Fg, is given by
$Fg=\frac{GMm}{r^2}$
where G=grav. const., =6.67408*10^(-11) m^3 kg^(-1) s^(-2)
M=mass of sun=1.989*10^(30) kg
$=\frac{6.67408*10^{-11}1.989*10^{30}6.39*10^{24}}{r^2}$
$=\frac{8.4826*10^44}{r^2}$

Since the radial distance is in equilibrium, the average distance, r can be found by equation Fc=Fg and solving for r:
Fc=Fg
=>
$7.26168*10^9\pi^2r=\frac{8.4826*10^44}{r^2}$
Solving for the real root:
$r^3=\frac{8.48256*10^44}{7.26168*10^9*%pi^2}$
$=\frac{1.1681263*10^{35}}{\pi^2}$
=2.279*10^11 m

Filtrate is formed as fluid is forced through the walls of the glomerulus and

Goryan [66]

Answer:

initially, collects in the structure indicated by the letter B

Explanation:

Filtrate is formed as fluid is forced through the walls of the glomerulus and, initially, collects in the structure indicated by the letter B.

Urine formed by a kidney collects in the renal pelvis before being drained from the kidney by the urethra and transported to the urinary bladder.

The process by which glomerulus filtration occurs is called renal ultrafiltration. The force of hydrostatic pressure in the glomerulus (the force of pressure exerted from the pressure of the blood vessel itself) is the driving force that pushes filtrate out of the capillaries and into the slits in the nephron.
