8 0

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Flash flood refers to the sudden flood that occurs in a particular area due to the heavy and excessive amount of rainfall, often accompanied by thunderstorms within a few hours. It releases a huge amount of water due to the failure of natural levee as well dam. They are very devastating. During flash flood, the water exerts a massive force which can make vehicles float over water. The <u>six inches of water</u> that flows over an area has the capacity to lift the tyres of small vehicles and carry hem further away.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

nasty-shy [4]
Given:
Water, 2 kilograms
T1 = 20 degrees Celsius, T2 = 100 degrees Celsius.  

Required:
Heat produced  

Solution:
Q (heat) = nRT = nR(T2 = T1)
Q (heat) = 2 kilograms (4.184 kiloJoules per kilogram Celsius) (100 degrees Celsius – 20 degrees Celsius)
<u>Q (heat) = 669.42 Joules
</u>This is the amount of heat produced in boiling 2 kg of water.

Only some shortwave radiation from the Sun reaches Earth’s surface. What is the leading cause of this radiation loss? Only some
anastassius [24]

Answer: Reflection by clouds

Explanation:

Only some shortwave radiation from the sun reaches the Earth's surface because solar radiation is being reflected by  thick clouds and thin clouds transmit the  solar radiation.

About 31 % of solar radiation is reflected by clouds. The tiny water particle scatters 20-90 % of incoming sunlight giving them a bright white appearance.

a mountain biker cycling a trail traveling at 5.4 m/s begins to slow down when she notice a wooden bridge ahead has flooded. if
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

t = 5.56 s

Explanation:

In order to calculate the time interval taken by the mountain biker to come to a stop, we will use third equation of motion and first find the deceleration:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

where,

a = deceleration = ?

s = distance = 15 m

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s

Vi = Initial Velocity = 5.4 m/s

Therefore,

2a(15 m) = (0 m/s²) - (5.4 m/s)²

a = - 0.972 m/s²

Now, we use 1st equation of motion:

Vf = Vi + at

therefore,

0 m/s = 5.4 m/s + (-0.972 m/s²)(t)

t = (5.4 m/s)/(0.972 m/s²)

<u>t = 5.56 s</u>

An isolated conducting sphere has a 12 cm radius. One wire carries a current of 1.0000049 A into it while another wire carries a
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

it will take for the sphere to increase in potential by 1500 V, 503.71 s.

Explanation:

The charge on the sphere after t seconds is:

q = (1.0000049 - 1.0000000) t = 0.0000049 t

The voltage on the surface is

V = k * \frac{q}{R} = k 0.0000049 t / R

solve for t

t = (R*V) / (0.0000049 k) = (0.12 * 1500) / (0.0000049 * 9e^{9}) = 503.71 s
