How long do molecules of groundwater stay in the ground?

Physics

Hoochie [10]3 years ago

Answer:

It varies from days to years

Explanation:

Water cycle includes series of steps and processes which enables water to be recycled. During dry or hot season , the sun heats up water bodies and water evaporates into the atmosphere.

During the cold or rainy season the evaporated water condensed and fall as rain back into the water bodies and environment generally.

The period or time frame in which ground water from rain stays in the soil is based on some factors such as the nature of the soil. Some soils such as clayey soil have a larger water retentive capacity than the others.

A system of pulleys is used to raise a load of bricks that weighs 1,700 newtons. The force applied to the pulley is 340 newtons.
Law Incorporation [45]
By definition, we have that the mechanical advantage is given by the following equation:
 MA =  \frac{W}{T} 

 Where,
 W: is the load
 T: is the tension
 Substituting the values in the given equation we have:
 MA = \frac{1700}{340}
 MA = 5

 Therefore, the mechanical advantage is equal to 5.
 Answer:
 The mechanical advantage of this machine is:
 MA = 5

A 60kg bicyclist (including the bicycle) is pedaling to the
Fittoniya [83]

a) 4 forces

b) 186 N

c) 246 N

Explanation:

a)

Let's count the forces acting on the bicylist:

1) Weight (W=mg): this is the gravitational force exerted on the bicyclist by the Earth, which pulls the bicyclist towards the Earth's centre; so, this force acts downward (m = mass of the bicyclist, g = acceleration due to gravity)

2) Normal reaction (N): this is the reaction force exerted by the road on the bicyclist. This force acts vertically upward, and it balances the weight, so its magnitude is equal to the weight of the bicyclist, and its direction is opposite

3) Applied force (F_A): this is the force exerted by the bicylicist to push the bike forward. Its direction is forward

4) Air drag (R): this is the force exerted by the air on the bicyclist and resisting the motion of the bike; its direction is opposite to the motion of the bike, so it is in the backward direction

So, we have 4 forces in total.

b)

Here we can find the net force on the bicyclist by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on a body is equal to the product between the mass of the body and its acceleration:

F_{net}=ma

where

F_{net} is the net force

m is the mass of the body

a is its acceleration

In this problem we have:

m = 60 kg is the mass of the bicyclist

a=3.1 m/s^2 is its acceleration

Substituting, we find the net force on the bicyclist:

F_{net}=(60)(3.1)=186 N

c)

We can write the net force acting on the bicyclist in the horizontal direction as the resultant of the two forces acting along this direction, so:

F_{net}=F_a-R

where:

F_{net} is the net force

F_a is the applied force (forward)

R is the air drag (backward)

In this problem we have:

F_{net}=186 N is the net force (found in part b)

R=60 N is the magnitude of the air drag

Solving for F_a, we find the force produced by the bicyclist while pedaling:

F_a=F_{net}+R=186+60=246 N

A 3.0 kg block is pushed by a 14 N force. If µ = 0.6, will the block move?
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The block will not move.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the frictional force. This can be obtained as follow:

Coefficient of friction (µ) = 0.6

Mass of block (m) = 3 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Normal reaction (R) = mg = 3 × 10 = 30 N

Frictional force (Fբ) =?

Fբ = µR

Fբ = 0.6 × 30

Fբ = 18 N

From the calculations made above, the frictional force of the block is 18 N. Since the frictional force (i.e 18 N) is bigger than the force applied (i.e 14 N), the block will not move.

If the mass of a material is 87 grams and the volume of the material is 14 cm3, what would the density of the material be?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

6.214g/cm³

Explanation:

The question is on density of a material

Density=mass/volume

Given, mass=87grams   and volume= 14 cm³  density=?

Density=m/v 87/14 =6.214g/cm³
