Answer:

EFFECTS: ( doughts)

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

EFFECTS:( FLOODS)

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.
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 :

Construct buildings above flood levels.
Tackle climate change

How to prevent from droughts :

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

A 0.00275 kg air‑inflated balloon is given an excess negative charge q1 =−3.50×10−8 C by rubbing it with a blanket. It is found

kati45 [8]

Answer:

1) $\rm q_2$ is positive.

2) $\rm q_2=4.56\times 10^{-10}\ C.$

Explanation:

The charged rod is held above the balloon and the weight of the balloon acts in downwards direction. To balance the weight of the balloon, the force on the balloon due to the rod must be directed along the upwards direction, which is only possible when the rod exerts an attractive force on the balloon and the electrostatic force on the balloon due to the rod is attractive when the polarities of the charge on the two are different.

Thus, In order for this to occur, the polarity of charge on the rod must be positive, i.e., $\rm q_2$ is positive.

Given:

Mass of the balloon, m = 0.00275 kg.
Charge on the balloon, $\rm q_1 = -3.50\times 10^{-8}\ C.$
Distance between the rod and the balloon, d = 0.0640 m.
Acceleration due to gravity, $\rm g = 9.81\ m/s^2.$

In order to balloon to be float in air, the weight of the balloom must be balanced with the electrostatic force on the balloon due to rod.

Weight of the balloon, $\rm W = mg = 0.00275\times 9.81=2.70\times 10^{-2}\ N.$

The magnitude of the electrostatic force on the balloon due to the rod is given by

$\rm F_e = \dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}\dfrac{|q_1||q_2|}{d^2}.$

$\rm \dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}$ is the Coulomb's constant.

For the elecric force and the weight to be balanced,

$\rm F_e = W\\\dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}\dfrac{|q_1||q_2|}{d^2}=W\\8.99\times 10^9\times \dfrac{3.50\times10^{-8}\times |q_2| }{0.0640^2}=2.70\times 10^{-2}\\|q_2| = \dfrac{2.70\times 10^{-2}\times 0.00640^2}{8.99\times 10^9\times 2.70\times 10^{-7}}=4.56\times 10^{-10}\ C.$

______ is the percent ionization of a weak acid in water increases as the concentration of acid decreases.

Nuetrik [128]

The ratio of concentration of ionized acid to the initial concentration of acid multiplied by 100 will give the percent ionization of a weak acid in water increases as the concentration of acid decreases.

Explanation:

Percent ionization is used for quantifying the number of ions present in the weak acid when dissolved in a solution. So it is similar to the pKa value. The percent ionization value can be determined as negative log of dissociation constant. Also the as the number of ions increases in weak acid, the concentration of acid will be decreasing . It can be calculated using the formula for percent ionization as follows:

$Percent ionization = \frac{Ionized acid concentration}{Initial concentration of acid} * 100$

As the water volume or concentration increases, the acid will get diluted much more thus leading to decrease in the concentration of acid.

So the ratio of concentration of ionized acid to the initial concentration of acid multiplied by 100 will give the percent ionization of a weak acid in water increases as the concentration of acid decreases.

You hold a metal block of mass 40 kg above your head at a height of 2 m.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The work done by gravity is 784 J.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the block is, $m=40\ kg$

Height to which it is raised is, $h=2\ m$

Acceleration due to gravity is, $g=9.8\ m/s^2$

Now, work done by gravity is equal to the product of force of gravity and the distance moved in the direction of gravity. So,

$\textrm{Work by gravity}=F_g\times h$

Force of gravity is given as the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

$\therefore F_g=mg=40\times 9.8=392\ N$ . Now,

$\textrm{Work by gravity}=F_g\times h=392\times 2=784\ J$

Therefore, the work done by gravity is 784 J.

Label these parts on the wave below: Amplitude, Wavelength, Crest, Trough, Rest Position

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Wavelength is the distance between from one crest to another crest or from one trough to another trough. The amplitude is the distance from the midpoint to the crest or trough. Crest is the highest point of the or a wave. Tough is the lowest point of the or a wave. Rest position is the position where it lies on the midpoint line.

Explanation:

I need a diagram to label these parts.
