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

Physics

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.

never [62]

Answer:

N = 1364 N

Explanation:

given data

accelerate upward = 5.70 m/s²

mass = 88.0 kg

solution

normal force is in upward direction so, weight of the student in downward direction and acceleration is in upward direction so formula is express as

N - mg = ma        ...........................1

N = m × (g+a)

put here value

N = 88.0 × (9.8 + 5.70)

N = 1364 N

Deffense [45]
For this problem, we use the Coulomb's Law. The working equation is written below:

F = kQ₁Q₂/d²
where 
F is the electric force
k is a constant equal to 8.99 × 10⁹ N • m²/C²
Q is the charges for the two objects
d is he distance between the objects

Substituting the values,
F = (8.99 × 10⁹ N • m²/C²)(-15×10⁻⁶ C)(-11×10⁻⁶ C)/(180²)
F = 4.578×10⁻⁵ N

Next, we determine the gravitational force using the Law of Universal Gravitation:

F = Gm₁m₂/d²
where
F is the gravitational force
G is a constant equal to 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N • m²/kg²
m is the masses of the objects
d is the distance between the objects

F = (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N • m²/kg²)(58,000 kg)(52,000 kg)/(180²)
F = 6.2089×10⁻⁶ N

The sum of the two forces equal the net force:
Net force = 4.578×10⁻⁵ N + 6.2089×10⁻⁶ N = 1.079×10⁻⁵ N

Why do some astronomers object to the new definition of a planet that was adopted in 2006?
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

A. New space missions show that Pluto is much larger than originally thought.

Explanation:

The new definition of a planet that was adopted in 2006, defined planet as  an object that orbits the sun, with sufficient mass to be round, not a satellite of another object, and has removed debris and small objects from the area around its orbit.

This new definition of a planet that was adopted in 2006, classified Pluto as "dwarf planet", because Pluto meets planetary criteria except that it has not cleared debris from its orbital neighborhood.

However, new Horizons spacecraft flew by Pluto in 2015, revealed that Pluto is much larger than originally thought

Therefore, the correct option is "A"

A. New space missions show that Pluto is much larger than originally thought.
