How does human activity affect erosion and sedimentation

Physics
1 answer:
antoniya [11.8K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Human activity such as soil stripping, mining dangerous agricultural practice causes and affects erosion and sedimentation.

The earth operates a balanced process such that the earth produce it self at about the same rate as it erodes. So if humans are stripping the soil at a rate greater than the rate at which the soil is forming itself, the soil wont be able to keep up, thus leading to erosion.

Sedimentation on the other hand is the process whereby by particle settle at the base of the carrying body due to the force of gravity.

As humans, mining activity most importantly at times dissolves particles which travels down to the core and are then moved to another location by erosion. this implies that the strength of the soil of that location becomes weak.

Acceleration = (change of speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (22 - 4) = 18 m/s.
Time for the change = 3 sec.

Acceleration = 18/3 = 6 m/s per second.

a lead block drops its temperature by 5.90 degrees celsius when 427 J of heat are removed from it. what is the mass of the block
Airida [17]

Answer:

577g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Temperature change = 5.9°C

Amount of heat lost = 427J

Unknown:

Mass of the block = ?

Solution:

The heat capacity of a body is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of that body by 1°C.

                H =  m c Ф

  H is the heat capacity

 m  is the mass of the block

  c is the specific heat capacity

   Ф is the temperature change

Specific heat capacity of lead is 0.126J/g°C

   m = H / m Ф

   m = \frac{427}{0.126 x 5.9}  = 577g

Mass of the lead block is 577g

The sum of the charges on both plates of a capacitor is zero. What does a capacitor store?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Current is the overall flow of electrons through a conductor and can be defined as the speed of the flow of electrons. Resistance is defined as the opposition to current flow. Circuits must have resistance  to convert electrical energy into light, heat, or motion. Resistance is called the directional movement of electrons that form an electric current. It is also known that  electrons do not move freely in the crystal structure of a conductor. Resistance is the inherent opposition to the flow of electrons present in a conductor. Inductance is the property of any circuit to resist any change in current while capacitance is the property of the circuit to resist any change in voltage.

<h3>What is capacitor?</h3>

A capacitor is an electronic component that stores an electrical charge. Capacitors consist of two close conductors (usually plates) separated by a dielectric material. The plates accumulate an electrical charge when connected to a power source. The main purpose of a capacitor is to store electrostatic energy in an electric field and, if possible, to supply this energy to an electrical circuit.

To avoid dangerous circuit failure, they allow alternating current to flow but block direct current. Capacitors are widely used as circuit elements in many common electrical devices. Commercial capacitors are made of interwoven metal foils with paraffin or Mylar-impregnated paper as the dielectric.
