I believe that the answer to the question provided above is that the <span>buildings on permafrost have potential structural issues because the soil is not stable in this area.</span>
Hope my answer would be a great help for you.    If you have more questions feel free to ask here at Brainly.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

the heat from buildings melts the ice in the permafrost below and the water is then displaced.

I just finished this test & 'D' was marked the correct answer.... i initially marked 'A' & it was checked incorrect.  It corrected my paper with 'D' as the CORRECT answer.

A. Write two or three sentences to describe the conductivity of an insulator. Explain its conductivity in terms of the electrons
aliya0001 [1]

PART A)

Conductivity of insulator is very small as there is no free electrons to conduct the current trough that medium

So here number of conduction electrons are very less in insulators

PART B)

Resistance is the property of a conducting medium which will oppose the flow of current trough it

Resistance of wire directly depends on its length so resistance of long wire will be more than the resistance of short wire

Resistance inversely depends on the area so if a wire has more crossectional area then its resistance must be small

PART C)

power of light bulb is defined as rate of electrical energy

it is given by formula

P = i V

here we know that

i = 1.46 A

V = 120 volts

so power is given as

P = 1.46 \times 120

P = 175.2 Watt

A river flowing steadily at a rate of 175 m3/s is considered for hydroelectric power generation. It is determined that a dam can
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

137200000 watts or 137200 kilowatts

Explanation:

The formula for power is P= dhrg

Where P = Power in watts

d = density of water (1000 kg/m^3)

h = height in meters

r = flow rate in cubic meters per second,

g = acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 m/s^2,

Plugging in the known values,

we get

P = 1000 kg/m^3 * 80 m * 175 m^3/s * 9.8 m/s^2

P = 80000 kg/m^2 * 175 m^3/s * 9.8 m/s^2

P = 14000000 kg m/s * 9.8 m/s^2

P = 137200000 kg m^2/s^3

P = 137200000 watts or 137200 kilowatts

The above figure assumes 100% efficiency which is impossible. A good efficiency would be 90% so the actual power available would be close to 0.90 * 137200 = 123480 kilowatts

Gulls are often observed dropping clams and other shellfish from a height to the rocks below, as a means of opening the shells.
kumpel [21]

Answer:

v = 17.71 m / s

Explanation:

We can work this exercise with the kinematics equations. In general the body is released so that its initial velocity is zero, the acceleration of the acceleration of gravity

                v² = v₀² - 2 g (y -y₀)

                v² = 0 - 2g (y -y₀)

when it hits the stone the height is zero and part of the height of the seagull I

              v² = 2g y₀

              v = Ra (2g i)

let's calculate

              v =√ (2 9.8 16)

              v = 17.71 m / s
