Please help me! Why is there more runoff in areas with high clay content?

1 answer:

3 0

Its a harder top surface then to say dirt or mud so it will run off faster because the clay don't absorb the water unlike the mud or dirt would.clay is more like a hard but soft rock it can fill things and lead water to different areas because it wont warp away as fast as a rock or a mud or dirt or sand would.

An electron with charge −e and mass m moves in a circular orbit of radius r around a nucleus of charge Ze, where Z is the atomic

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{kZe^2}{mr}}$

Explanation:

The electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the electron is given by:

$F=k\frac{(e)(Ze)}{r^2}=k\frac{Ze^2}{r^2}$ (1)

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

Ze is the charge of the nucleus

e is the charge of the electron

r is the distance between the electron and the nucleus

This electrostatic attraction provides the centripetal force that keeps the electron in circular motion, which is given by:

$F=m\frac{v^2}{r}$ (2)

where

m is the mass of the electron

v is the speed of the electron

Combining the two equations (1) and (2), we find

$k\frac{Ze^2}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

And solving for v, we find an expression for the speed of the electron:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{kZe^2}{mr}}$

Look at the circuit below. What is the voltage between points C and D?

stepan [7]

Option c) 1.5 V

Explanation:

<em>As the circuit is build in series first we will find the current passing through the complete circuit. Current stays the same in each element is the series cirucuit, however, the voltage is different.</em>

Voltage is given by the following formula:

V = IR

<em>Because we have to find current through whole circuit, we will first find resistance of the whole circuit.</em>

Equivalent Resistance R(eq): R1 + R2 = 60 + 60 = 120 ohm

Current passing through whole circuit be:

$I = \frac{V}{R(eq)}\\I = \frac{3}{120}$ = 0.025

Now we will find out the voltage between C and D:

Current stays the same in series circuit: I = 0.025 c

Resistance between C and D is, R = 60 ohm

Voltage becomes, V = IR = 0.025 * 60 = 1.5 V

The initial height of the water in a sealed container of diameter 100.0 cm is 5.00 m. The air pressure inside the container is 0

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

a) F = 2.66 10⁴ N, b) h = 1.55 m

Explanation:

For this fluid exercise we use that the pressure at the tap point is

Exterior

P₂ = P₀ = 1.01 105 Pa

inside

P₁ = P₀ + ρ g h

the liquid is water with a density of ρ=1000 km / m³

P₁ = 0.85 1.01 10⁵ + 1000 9.8 5

P₁ = 85850 + 49000

P₁ = 1.3485 10⁵ Pa

the net force is

ΔP = P₁- P₂

Δp = 1.3485 10⁵ - 1.01 10⁵

ΔP = 3.385 10⁴ Pa

Let's use the definition of pressure

P = Fe / A

F = P A

the area of a circle is

A = pi r² = [i d ^ 2/4

let's reduce the units to the SI system

d = 100 cm (1 m / 100 cm) = 1 m

F = 3.385 104 pi / 4 (1) ²

F = 2.66 10⁴ N

b) the height for which the pressures are in equilibrium is

P₁ = P₂

0.85 P₀ + ρ g h = P₀

h = $\frac{P_o ( 1-0.850)}{\rho \ g}$

h = $\frac{1.01 \ 10^5 ( 1 -0.85)}{1000 \ 9.8}$

h = 1.55 m

What is the best inference for the speed of the car after 3 seconds

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

B. 17m/s

Explanation:

This question contains a graph that illustrates the relationship between the speed of a car over time. The graph shows that one can make an inference of the amount of time it takes for the car to cover a particular speed and vice versa.

In this case, after 3 seconds, the speed of the car will be 17 m/s. This inference was got by tracing the position of 3s in the x-axis to the value on the y-axis. Doing this, the best inference for the speed of the car after 3 seconds is 17m/s.
