History

loris [4]3 years ago

The discharge<span> of a stream is the product of its velocity </span><span>(V </span>- length of travel per unit of time such as feet/second) times depth of the water (D<span> - unit of length) times width (</span>W of the water<span>- units of length). (Make sure all all three lengths are expressed in the same unit.)</span><span><span>
Discharge = V x D x W</span>If length is measured in feet and time in seconds, Discharge has units of <span>feet3/sec</span> or cubic feet per second (cfs).Depth times Width gives the cross-sectional area. The shape of the channel is important because of the reduction in velocity due to friction along the channel margins. In a natural situation, an increase in discharge (cubic feet/second) will result in an increase in all three parameters - the river becomes wider, deeper and flows at a higher velocity.</span>

Read this excerpt from the US Constitution. Which portion of the text is an example of separation of powers?
asambeis [7]

The correct answer is Article I Section 1. All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

The idea of separation of powers refers to a government in which there are several different branches that each have unique responsibilities. The aforementioned part of the Constitution is a perfect example of this, as it states that Congress has the ability to make laws in the US. Congress is given the ability to make laws, whereas the Supreme Court is given the power to interpret the constitution and whether or not laws are constitutonal, and the President is given the power to enforce the laws. This shows that each branch has a specific job in our government.
