In the semi arid regions of China, the country's inhabitants have practiced water harvesting for generations. Water harvesting i

s the process of collecting rainfall and/or runoff for later use. How does this water conservation method help the environment?
A) Water harvesting causes drought-like conditions the rest of the year.
B) Harvesting water during the rainy season has damaged the ecosystem by killing some of the organisms.
C) By collecting run off during the rainy season for future irrigation increases the agricultural production.
D) Run off is one of the main sources of drinking water so there is a shortage of drinking water the remaining part of the year.

Answer: C) By collecting run off during the rainy season for future irrigation increases the agricultural production

Explanation:

Water harvesting is a process of collection of rain water by using special water storing systems. This water storage practice helps during the scarcity of water like in dry summer seasons and in conditions of drought. Such water can be treated with filters to make it potable for drinking. But generally the water is used for the purpose of irrigation in the agricultural field and household sanitary requirements.

On the basis of the above description, By collecting run off during the rainy season for future irrigation increases the agricultural production is the correct option.

Influenced by the gravitational pull of a distant star, the velocity of an asteroid changes from from +19.3 km/s to −18.8 km/s o
muminat

As per above given data

initial velocity = 19.3 km/s

final velocity = - 18.8 km/s

now in order to find the change in velocity

\Delta v = v_f - v_i

\Delta v = -18.8 - 19.3

\Delta v = -38.1 km/s

\Delta v = -3.81 * 10^4 m/s

Part b)

Now we need to find acceleration

acceleration is given by formula

a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

given that

\Delta v =- 3.81 * 10^4 m/s

\Delta t = 2.07 years = 6.53 * 10^7 s

now the acceleration is given as

a = \frac{-3.81 * 10^4}{6.53 * 10^7}

a = - 5.84 * 10^{-4}m/s^2

so above is the acceleration

Which characteristic do arid and polar regions share?
Setler79 [48]

few plants

Explanation:

Arid and polar regions of the world typically have few plant species. The plant species in such environment are called xerophytes. They are plants that can live in an area with little to no precipitation.

  • Arid regions of the world are about the most driest in the world with very high diurnal temperature range.
  • Polar regions are frigid and cold all year round.
  • Both arid and polar regions have little to no precipitation all year round.
  • They have poor soils to support plant growth.
  • This is why they both have few plants.

Katarina [22]

Explanation:

Taking the incident light to be traveling in the + x-direction so that it is at normal incidence to the left side of the film(referred to as the "Front side"). This means the beam transmitted into the liquid is essentially as strong as the incident beam.

Almost all the light that is reflected off the back surface will get through the front surface. (But only 2.78% gets re-reflected off the the front surface back to the right) this means that there are two beams reflected to the - x-direction, one from the front surface and one from the back, and these beams are of almost equal intensity.

Hope this is helpful. Thanks

A thin film of oil of thickness t is floating on water. The oil has index of refraction no = 1.4. There is air above the oil. Wh
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:t=0.1205

Explanation:

Given

Refractive index of oil\left ( \mu \right )=1.4

Wavelength of red light =675 mm

Condition for constructive interference is

2\mu _{oil}t=\frac{m\lambda }{2}

t=\frac{m\lambda }{4\mu _{oil}}

For m= 1 i.e. for minimum thickness

t=\frac{1\times 675\times 10^{-9}}{4\times 1.4}

t=0.1205 \mu m
