scoray [572]
The correct option is B.
A water shed refers to an area of land which serves as channel for rainfall and supply other bodies of water connected with it with water. The amount of water in the watershed determines the quantity of water that will be passed to the water bodies that are connected to the watershed.
A model is usually made in order to use it to forecast or predict a certain thing. A watershed model can be used to predict the amount of floods and drought at a particular location.<span />

A double-slit diffraction pattern is formed on a distant screen. If the separation between the slits decreases, what happens to
LenKa [72]

Answer:

The distance between interference fringes increases.

Explanation:

In a double-slit diffraction pattern, the angular position of the nth-maximum in the diffraction patter (measured with respect to the central maximum) is given by

sin \theta = \frac{n \lambda}{d}

where

\theta is the angular position

\lambda is the wavelength

d is the separation between the slits

In this problem, the separation between the slits decreases: this means that d in the formula decreases. As we see, the value of sin \theta (and so, also \theta) is inversely proportional to d: so, if the d decreases, then the angular separation between the fringes increases.

So, the correct answer is

The distance between interference fringes increases.

Which of the following is the best example of kinetic energy being transformed into potential energy
poizon [28]

A pendulum is probably the most common showing of this example. As the pendulum swings down, it converts its potential energy (height) into kinetic energy (velocity). At the lowest point the kinetic energy is the highest and the potential is the lowest. At the highest point in its swing the velocity is zero so the kinetic energy is zero and the potential energy is at a maximum (greatest height).

How does light determine whether it acts as a particle or a wave?
pishuonlain [190]
Great question. Albert Einstein proved that light acts as both a particle and a wave in his 1905 paper. This is called wave-particle duality. 
With quantum mechanics, it is easy to prove that light behaves as both a particle and a wave. 
When UV light hits a metal surface, it causes an emission of electrons. This "photoelectric effect" proves how light behaves.

Archerfish are tropical fish that hunt by shooting drops of water from their mouths at insects above the waterÂs surface to knoc
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

.012

Explanation:

Take the mass of the fish and divide it by the mass of the water:

65/.30=216.667

Divide the given speed by the value we found above:

2.5/216.667=.0115

Answer can be rounded up to .012
