Answer:

t =  0.75 \ hr  =  0.75 *60  =  45 \ minutes

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  hydraulic conductivity is  Ks =  10\ mm/hr

    The  effective matrix potential Ns  =  20 \ mm

    The  intensity of  rainfall is  I  =  30 \ mm/hr

    The runoff rate R =  15 \  mm/hr

Generally the run off rate is mathematically represented as  

      R = (I - Ks) t

Here t is the amount of runoff generated

=>   15 = (30 - 10) t

=>  t  =  0.75 \ hr

converting to minutes

    t =  0.75 \ hr  =  0.75 *60  =  45 \ minutes

A spy satellite uses a telescope with a 1.7-m-diameter mirror. It orbits the earth at a height of 180 km.
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: the minimum spacing that must be there between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope 6.45 cm

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter of the mirror d = 1.7 m

height h = 180 km = 180 × 10³ m

wavelength λ = 500 nm = 5 × 10⁻⁹ m

Now Angular separation from the peak of the central maximum is expressed as;

sin∅= 1.22 λ / d

sin∅ = (1.22 × 5 × 10⁻⁹) / 1.7

 sin∅ = 3.588 × 10⁻⁷

we know that;

 sin∅  = object separation / distance from telescope

object separation =   sin∅ × distance from telescope

object separation = 3.588 × 10⁻⁷  × 180 × 10³

object separation =6.45 × 10⁻² m

then we convert to centimeter

object separation = 6.45 cm

Therefore the minimum spacing that must be there between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope 6.45 cm

A quarterback pedals 3.3meters southward and then run 5.7meters northward. Whats the distance ? And whats the displacement?
masya89 [10]
The distance is 9.0 meters because that's how far the person ran. The displacement is 2.4 meters North because displacement is a speed AND direction. Basically you're calculating how far you are from where you started.

Your friend says that the primary difference between a solid and a liquid is the kind of atoms in the material. Do you agree or
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

I disagree with my friend because, the primary difference is not in the kind of atoms, rather it is the arrangement of atoms and molecules that distinguishes solids and liquids.

Atoms are closely packed in solid and hence large cohesive forces act between atoms in solids whereas in liquids atoms are at a distance from each other, hence, less cohesive force act between it's atoms. Moreover, due to loose packing in liquids atoms are free to move in space and hence liquids can flow whereas solids cannot.

If two runners take the same amount of time to run a mile, they have the same __________.
Elan Coil [88]

None of the choices is correct.

If two runners take the same amount of time to run a mile,
they have the same average speed.  But their velocities
are not the same unless both runners begin and end their
run at the same points.

Speed is   (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance).

Velocity is not.  It's something different. 
'Velocity' is not just a bigger word for 'speed'.

This is a velocity versus time graph of a car starting from rest. If the area under the line is 10 meters: what is the correspon
shtirl [24]

Answer: The correct answer is option (D).

Explanation:

The area under the line is 10 meters that is displacement which means that area enclosed by the right angled triangle is 10 unit squares.

So, the it can be written as:

\text{area of triangle}=\frac{1}{2}\times velocity\times time

10=\frac{1}{2}\times 2.0 m/s\times time

time =10 seconds

Hence the, the correct answer is option (D).
