Derek designed an experiment to demonstrate interactions between Earth systems. He cleared a patch of land in his backyard and p

oured a glass of water from a height of 12 inches above the ground. A depression was formed on the land at the spot where the water hit the ground. What does Derek's experiment best demonstrate?

Derek's experiment best demonstrates the effects of gravity, that force made the water go down and  hit the ground, the effect of that was a depression.

The definition of Hydrosphere is all the water of earth surface, so the water represents Hydrosphere.

The definition of Geosphere is the surface of Earth, when the water fell down and touched the ground it caused an interaction between Hydrosphere and Geosphere.

An 81.5-kg man stands on a horizontal surface.
Elza [17]

Answer:

a)V= 0.0827 m³

b)P=181.11 x 10²  N/m²

Explanation:

Given that

m = 81.5 kg

Density ,ρ = 985 kg/m³

As we know that

Mass = Volume x Density

81.5 = V x 985

V= 0.0827 m³

The force exerted by weight = m g

 F= m g= 81.5 x 10 = 815 N      ( Take ,g= 10 m/s²)

Area ,A= 4.5 x 10⁻² m²

The Pressure P

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

P = \dfrac{815}{4.5\times 10^{-2}}\ N/m^2

P=181.11 x 10²  N/m²

A one-dimensional plane wall of thickness 2l= 100 mm experiences uniform thermal energy generation of q˙= 800 w/m3 and is convec
slega [8]

Answer:

The thermal conductivity of the wall = 40W/m.C

h = 10 W/m^2.C

Explanation:

The heat conduction equation is given by:

d^2T/ dx^2 + egen/ K = 0

The thermal conductivity of the wall can be calculated using:

K = egen/ 2a = 800/2×10

K = 800/20 = 40W/m.C

Applying energy balance at the wall surface

"qL = "qconv

-K = (dT/dx)L = h (TL - Tinfinity)

The convention heat transfer coefficient will be:

h = -k × (-2aL)/ (TL - Tinfinty)

h = ( 2× 40 × 10 × 0.05) / (30-26)

h = 40/4 = 10W/m^2.C

From the given temperature distribution

t(x) = 10 (L^2-X^2) + 30 = 30°

T(L) = ( L^2- L^2) + 30 = 30°

dT/ dx = -2aL

d^2T/ dx^2 = - 2a
