Hydraulic engineers often use, as a unit of volume of water, the "acre-foot", defined as the volume of water that will cover 1 a

cre of land to a depth of 1 ft. A severe thunderstorm dumps 1.7 in. of rain in 30 min on a town of area 29 km2. What volume of water, in acre-feet, fell on the town?

Answer:

Volume = 1,015 acre-feet (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Rain = 1.7 in

Time = 30 min

Area = 29 km²

Find:

Volume in acre-feet

Computation:

1 km = 1,000 m

1 m = 3.28 feet

1 km² = 247.105 acre

d = 1.7 in = 1.7 / 12 = 0.14167 ft

Area = 29 × 247.105 = 7,166.045 acre

Volume = 7,166.045 acre × 0.14167 ft

Volume = 1,015 acre-feet (Approx)

Define Momentum in detail.
Harrizon [31]

Explanation:

Momentum Is defined as the product of of mass and its velocity

Momentum (M) =mass *velocity

SI unit of momentum is kgm/s

The rate of change in momentum

=change in momentum / time

=(mv-mu)/t

Robert has just bought a new model rocket, and is trying to measure its flight characteristics. The rocket engine package claims

Answer:

The work done by the drag force is given by 29.96 J

Explanation:

Given :

Thrust force F = 12.3 N

Displacement d = 10.2 m

Mass of rocket m = 0.663 Kg

From work energy theorem,

  W = \Delta K

 W_{t} - Wd - W_{g} = KE

Where W_{t} = thrust work W_{g} = gravitational work

KE = 12.3 \times 10.2 -Wd - 0.663 \times 9.8 \times 10.2

KE = 59.2 -Wd

After cutoff kinetic energy is converted into potential energy,

KE = Wd' + mg\Delta h

Put value of KE

59.2 -Wd = Wd' + 0.663 \times 9.8 \times 4.5

Work done by drag force is given by,

Wd'+Wd =  59.2 -29.23

                 = 29.96 J

Therefore, the work done by the drag force is given by 29.96 J

Answer:

Hello, how's your day going?

if humanity came together and made a base on the moon, it would be revolutionary. The point of a base on the moon would have multiple purposes. for example, some think that the moon contains valuable metals such as iron and titanium. a base would serve as a place for workers harvesting metals to rest. Obviously or not most of the iron harvesting would be done automatically by robots and such.

If such a base were constructed on the moon, it would be the begining of people living on other worlds and would be a great start for a base on Mars.

Hope it helped
