Watersheds provide many of us with our drinking water supply, plus recreational opportunities and aesthetic beauty. Watersheds are areas from which water runs into a public water supply. Thus, much of the water you drink from a public source has passed through a watershed. Because of this, it's important that care be taken to minimize any contaminents that may find their way into a public water supply. A small example of a watershed would be the hills around a reservoir. A larger example would be the portions of Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and Washington DC that are designated Chesapeake Bay watershed.

Answer:

A watershed is an area of land that drains rain water or snow into one location such as a stream, lake or wetland. These water bodies supply our drinking water, water for agriculture and manufacturing, offer opportunities for recreation (canoeing and fishing, anyone?) and provide habitat to numerous plants and animals

If a 370 KG missile is flying at a speed of 220 m/s , then what is it’s kinetic energy
lidiya [134]

Answer:

8954000 J

Explanation:

The formula to find kinetic energy is:

<em>Kinetic energy = </em>\frac{1}{2}<em> × mass × (velocity)²</em>

So, Kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2} × 370 × (220)²

Kinetic energy = 8954000 J

What makes gravity work
olganol [36]
Well we have two concepts of gravity now. In Newton's concept masses create forces between them. In Einstein's concept mass distorts time and space around it and makes masses move as if there are forces between them.
So whichever concept you prefer it's the presence of mass that creates gravity.

Ou are given a 25.3 µf capacitor that is connected to a 13.0 v dc power supply. what will be the charge that is stored on this c
Black_prince [1.1K]

charge stored in the capacitor=3.29 x 10⁻⁴ C

Explanation:

we use the formula

Q= C V

Q= charge

C= capacitor=25.3 μF= 25.3 x 10⁻⁶ F

V= voltage= 13 V

Q=(25.3 x 10⁻⁶ ) (13)

Q= 3.29 x 10⁻⁴ C
