BabaBlast [244]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

<u>EFFECTS: ( doughts)</u>

  1. There would be less water in the river for you and other people who live along the river to use.
  2. If we use too much water during times of normal rainfall, we might not have enough water when a drought happens.

<u>EFFECTS:( FLOODS)</u>

  1. The immediate impacts of flooding include loss of human life, damage to property, destruction of crops, loss of livestock, and deterioration of health conditions owing to waterborne diseases.
  2. power plants, roads and bridges are damaged and disrupted, some economic activities may come to a standstill, people are forced to leave their homes and normal life is disrupted.

How to prevent from flooding is :

  1. Construct buildings above flood levels.
  2. Tackle climate change

How to prevent from droughts :

  1. drought trends that may occur based on statistical and actual weather forecasts.
  2. In the U.S., the U.S. Drought Monitor provides a day-by-day visual of the drought conditions around the country.

Filiberto va a 90m/s en su carri, de repente se distrae por un par de segundos y su velocdad pasa a 40 m/s ¿cual fue su acelerac
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Filiberto experimenta una deceleración de 2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}.

Explanation:

(The problem was written in Spanish. Hence, explanation will be held in Spanish).

Asúmase que Filiberto se distrae por 2 segundos, puesto que un par equivale a dos, y que el vehículo experimenta un aceleración constante. La deceleración experimentada por el vehículo se deriva de la siguiente fórmula:

a = \frac{v-v_{o}}{\Delta t}

a = \frac{40\,\frac{m}{s}-90\,\frac{m}{s} }{2\,s}

a = -25\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Filiberto experimenta una deceleración de 2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}.

puteri [66]

Answer:

pressure in liquids is given as:

P= hpg

where h is the depth

where p is the density

where g is 10

Explanation:

From the formula above

p = 10 X 1000 X 10

p = 100000N/m

If the index of refraction for a certain glass is 1.5, and the angle of refraction is 15 degrees for a ray of light
LiRa [457]

Answer:

\theta_i = 23^o

Explanation:

The refractive index of a medium is given by the following formula:

\eta = \frac{Sin\theta_i}{Sin\theta_r}

where,

η = refractive index = 1.5

\theta_i = angle of incidence = ?

\theta_r = angle of refraction = 15°

Therefore,

1.5 = \frac{Sin\theta_i}{Sin15^o}\\\\Sin\theta_i=(1.5)Sin15^o\\\\\theta_i = Sin^{-1}(0.388)\\\\

\theta_i = 23^o
