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

Physics

Kaylis [27]3 years ago

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 well-insulated bucket of negligible heat capacity contains 129 g of ice at 0°C.
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The final equilibrium temperature of the system is T = 12.48^oC

For the ice it would melt completely the mass that would remain is Zero

Explanation:

In the following question we are provided with

Mass of the ice M_{i} = 129 g = 0.129 kg

Mass of the steam M_s = 19 g = 0.019 kg

Initial temperature is  T_i = 0°C

Temperature of  steam  T_s = 100°C

Following the change of state of water in the question

 The energy required by ice to change to water is mathematically given as

          Q_A = M_iL_f

Where L_f is a constant known as heat of fusion  and the value is 334*10^3 J/kg

           Q_A = 0.129 *334 *10^3  = 43086 J

The energy been released when the steam changes to water is mathematically given as

            Q_B = M_s * L_v

           Where L_v is a constant known as heat of vaporization and the value is 2256*10^3J/kg

           Q_B = 0.019 * 2256*10^3 = 42864J

         The energy released when the temperature of water decrease from 100°C to 0°C is

                 Q_C = M_s *C_water (100°C)

Where C_{water} is the specific heat of water which has a value 4186J/kg \cdot K

                  Q_C = 0.019 *4186*100 = 7953.4

Looking at the values we obtained we noticed that ]

             Q_B + Q_C > Q_A

What this means is that the ice will melt

bearing in mind the conservation of energy

     looking the way at which water at different temperature were mixed according to the question

     Heat lossed by the vapor   = heat gained by ice

        Q_B + M_s *C_{water}(100-T) = Q_A + M_i C_{water} T

                                               T = \frac{Q_B+M_s *C_{water}(100^oC)-Q_A}{(M_s *C_{water})+(M_i*C_{water})}

                                               T = \frac{42864+7953.4-43086}{(0.019+0.129)(4186)}

                                              T = 12.48^oC

A student constructed a series circuit consisting of a 12.0-volt battery, a 10.0-ohm lamp, and a
Zolol [24]
     Considering the unknown resistence as R and using the Ohm's First Law, we have:

i= \frac{V}{R_{eq}}  \\ 0.5= \frac{12}{R+10}  \\ R+10=24 \\ R=14-Ohm
 
     The equivalent resistence is given by the resistor series with the lamp resistence.

R_{eq}=R+10 \\ R_{eq}=14+10 \\ \boxed {R_{eq}=24-Ohm}

If you notice any mistake in my english, please let me know, because i am not native.
