Answer:

volume of water is 1066.50 acre feet

Explanation:

given data

dia = 2 in = 0.166 feet

area = 26 km² = 26 × 247.105 acre = 6424.73 acre

to find out

volume of water

solution

we know volume of water is express as

volume = area × dia     ....................1

put here value in equation 1

volume = 6424.73 acre × 0.166 feet

volume = 1066.50

so volume of water is 1066.50 acre feet

Which type of force can be in the same it opposite direction?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

C) unbalanced

Explanation:

Equal forces acting in opposite directions are called balanced forces. Balanced forces acting on an object will not change the object's motion. When you add equal forces in opposite direction, the net force is zero.

. Are there human health risks from exposure (or overexposure) to X-rays? If so:
algol [13]
<h3>yes, there are human health risks caused by exposure to x rays</h3>
  • describe the main risk (s) ::: - may cause damage to cells in the body

                                                      - large doses may lead cells to be cancerous        

                                                      - causes mutations in the DNA

  • describe common sources of exposure ( or overexposure ) :::

           - natural background radiation   e.g. - cosmic rays

           - medical radiation   e.g. - CT scans & medical x - rays

           - man - made radiation   e.g. - airport security scanners

  • describe a technology, device, or behavior that can be used for protection, or to decrease exposure :::

          - x - ray beam filters

          - digital x - ray detectors

          - technologies reduce radiation doses in radiography &  

            mammography

A ball with 100 J of PE is released from a height of 10 m. What will be the KE of the ball at 5
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is: 50[J]

Explanation:

The ball is having a potential energy of 100 [J], therefore

PE = [J]

The elevation is 10 [m], and at this point the ball is having only potential energy, the kinetic energy is zero.

E_{p} =m*g*h\\where:\\g= gravity[m/s^{2} ]\\m = mass [kg]\\m= \frac{E_{p} }{g*h}\\ m= \frac{100}{9.81*10}\\\\m= 1.01[kg]\\\\

In the moment when the ball starts to fall, it will lose potential energy and the potential energy will be transforme in kinetic energy.

When the elevation is 5 [m], we have a potential energy of

P_{e} =m*g*h\\P_{e} =1.01*9.81*5\\\\P_{e} = 50 [J]\\

This energy is equal to the kinetic energy, therefore

Ke= 50 [J]
