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.

A balloon-powered car rolls across the floor at a speed of 0.711 m/s. How long does it take to cover 8.25 m?

devlian [24]

Answer:

Time = 11.60 seconds.

Explanation:

Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.

Mathematically, speed is given by the equation;

$Speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

Given the following data;

Speed = 0.711m/s

Distance = 8.25m

To find the time;

Making time the subject of formula, we have;

$Time = \frac{distance}{speed}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Time = \frac{8.25}{0.711}$

Time = 11.60 secs.

Which evidence supports the big band theory select 3 options

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are different theories and evidence about the big bang, in this case, we're going to see three evidence.

The galaxies are moving from us, this means space is expanded, this in consequence Big Bang's explosion.

The cosmic microwave background radiation is related to the early warmth of the universe.

The observed abundance of hydrogen, helium, deuterium, lithium, these are checked from the spectra of the oldest stars.

In the Daytona 500 auto race, a Ford Thunderbird and a Mercedes Benz are moving side by side down a straightaway at 71.0 m/s. Th

elena55 [62]

Answer:

Thunderbird is 995.157 meters behind the Mercedes

Explanation:

It is given that all the cars were moving at a speed of 71 m/s when the driver of Thunderbird decided to take a pit stop and slows down for 250 m. She spent 5 seconds in the pit stop.

Here final velocity $v=0 \ m/s$

initial velocity $u= 71 m/s$ distance

Distance covered in the slowing down phase = $250 m$

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$a= \frac {(v^2-u^2)}{2s}$

$a = \frac {(0^2-71^2)}{(2 \times 250)}=-10.082 \ m/s^2$

$v=u+at$

$t= \frac {(v-u)}{a}$

$= \frac {(0-71)}{(-10.082)}=7.042 s$

$t_1=7.042 s$

The car is in the pit stop for 5s $t_2=5 s$

After restart it accelerates for 350 m to reach the earlier velocity 71 m/s

$a= \frac {(v^2-u^2)}{(2\times s)} = \frac{(71^2-0^2)}{(2 \times 370)} =6.81 \ m/s^2$

$v=u+at$

$t= \frac{(v-u)}{a}$

$t= \frac{(71-0)}{6.81}= 10.425 s$

$t_3=10.425 s$

total time= $t_1 +t_2+t_3=7.042+5+10.425=22.467 s$

Distance covered by the Mercedes Benz during this time is given by $s=vt=71 \times 22.467= 1595.157 m$

Distance covered by the Thunderbird during this time= $250+350=600 m$

Difference between distance covered by the Mercedes and Thunderbird

= $1595.157-600=995.157 m$

Thus the Mercedes is 995.157 m ahead of the Thunderbird.

Suppose you are on an airplane moving at high speed. If you flip a coin straight up it will land in your lap rather than a great

maxonik [38]

It will land in your lap because there's different frames of motion relative to yourself. For example, if you're running at a speed of 6 mph, it doesn't mean you'll run as fast as the Earth spins. Also, since you're on the interior of the plane, any kind of wind or weather on the outside will not affect the coin. A law to back up this claim is Einsteins Special Law of Relativity.

White light is shining on a green grape. The grape would absorb all colors except green and will reflect the green color around and into our eyes. That's why the grape is green. Hope this helped!
