Which part of a stream's sediment load moves the slowest?

The bed load moves the slowest from all the parts of the stream's sediment. It consists of particles suspended that are suspended and float around the bed. This part is the slowest in motion, as it rolls, and moves with the flow. The particles near the bed are not dissolved so they settle at the bottom and move with the stream.

Is distance traveled by a moving train qualitative discrete continuous or na?

butalik [34]

Continuous. Discrete values are values like 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. - they're values that are distinct, and typically there's some idea of a next and a previous value. When we're counting whole numbers, there's a definitive answer to which number comes after, and which number comes before. With continuous values, there's no real "next" or "last" value.

Motion is measured with continuous values; a train might move 300 yards in 1 minute, but we can look at smaller and smaller chunks of time to keep getting shorter and shorter distances. There is no "next" distance the train moves after those 300 yards - it just doesn't make sense for there to be.

It's also measured quantitatively, not qualitatively. This just means that we can use numerical values to measure it, rather than other descriptors like color, smell, or taste.

Q11) If you were standing at the top of a building and you dropped a rock.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Part A

The distance travel by the rock is approximately 132.496 m

Part B

The speed when the rock hits the ground is approximately 50.96 m/s

Explanation:

Part A

The question is focused on the kinetics equation of a free falling object

The given parameter is the time it takes the rock to hit the ground, t = 5.2 s

For an object in free fall, we have;

h = 1/2·g·t²

Where;

h = The height from which the object is dropped

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

t = The time taken to travel the distance, h = 5.2 s

∴ h = 1/2 × 9.8 m/s² × (5.2 s)² ≈ 132.496 m

The distance travel by the rock, h ≈ 132.496 m

Part B

The speed, 'v', when the rock hits the ground, is given by the following kinematic equation,

v = g·t

∴ v = 9.8 m/s² × 5.2 s = 50.96 m/s

The speed when the rock hits the ground, v ≈ 50.96 m/s.

The temperature of the cooling water as it leaves the hot engine of an automobile is 240 °F. After it passes through the radiato

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:571.09 kJ

Explanation:

Given

Temperature of cooling water from engine exit $=240^{\circ} F\approx 115.55^{\circ}C$

After Passing through the radiator its temperature decreases to $175^{\circ}F\approx 79.44^{\circ}F$

specific heat of water $=4.184 J/g^{\circ}C$

Volume of water $= 1 gallon\approx 3.78 L$

density of water $\rho =1 gm/mL$

Thus mass of water $=\rho \times V=3.78\times 1=3.78 kg$

Heat transferred to the surrounding is equal to heat absorbed by cooling water

$Q=m\cdot c\cdot \Delta T$

$Q=3.78\times 4.184\times 1000\times (115.55-79.44)$

$Q=3.78\times 4.184\times 1000\times (36.11)$

$Q=571.09 kJ$

What is the speed of sound at 33 °C (m/s)? For a frequency of 5 kHz, how large do you expect the wavelength to be (m)?

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

-The speed of sound at 33°C is 362.8 m/s.

-The wavelength at a frequency at 5 kHz is 0.07256 m .

Explanation:

let v = 343 m/s be the speed of sound.

let T be the temperature.

then the speed of sound V, at 33°C is given by:

V = v + 0.6×T

= 343 + 0.6×33

= 362.8 m/s

Therefore, the speed of sound at 33°C is 362.8 m/s.

the wavelength at a frequency of f = 5kHz = 5000 Hz is given by:

λ = V/f

= (362.8)/(5000)

= 0.07256 m

Therefore, the wavelength at a frequency at 5 kHz is 0.07256 m .
