Answer:
There is an attractive force call gravity
Explanation:
The reason the moon's inertia doesn't make it continue in a straight line is due to the attractive force of gravity and the reason the moon and earth's gravity doesn't make them collide with each other is due to the moon's inertia. To understand this phenomenon imagine that you have a ball tied to a rope, you keep the rope with one hand and with the other you push the ball so it can move freely; the ball, like the moon, has velocity, but the ball can not move in a straight line because the rope doesn't allow it, in our hypothetical scenario the rope is like the gravity that traps the ball in an 'endless' circle.
Note: The rope and the ball are a hypothetical case, it helps us imagine the phenomena but the forces involved are different than in the case of the moon.
Answer:
<u>Adaptation:</u>
c) Giving a subsidy for people to buy hybrid cars.
d) Giving a subsidy for people to buy air conditioners for their homes.
<u>Mitigation:</u>
a) Building up tall levees to stop the rising ocean from flooding a town.
b) Rising the tax on gasoline.
Explanation:
<em>Since the global climate change is ravaging the world, there is need to apply both adaptation method and mitigation method in-order to stop its effect on the world.</em>
Answer:
transmissivity =0.0001458235 m² / year
Explanation:
given data
discharge = 6,000 acre - feet/year = 0.001775566 cubic miles
width of aquifer = 1.8 miles
Gradient = 0.95%
to find out
what would be the average transmissivity of the aquifer
solution
we know that transmissivity formula that is
transmissivity = 
here Q is discharge and W is width and i is gradient
so put here value
transmissivity =
transmissivity = 
transmissivity =0.0010383427 mile² / year
and we know 1 miles² = 2589988.11 m²
so
transmissivity =0.0001458235 m² / year
