Answer:

contaminated drinking water

deaths of sea creatures that are used as a food source

limits to potential economic activities such as a fishing

Explanation:

A watershed is a large area that comprises of drainage area of all the surrounding water bodies meeting at a common affluence point before draining into sea or ocean or any other large water body. Pollution in this area can pollute the small water streams flowing through it, thereby polluting the larger water body into which it drains.

Thus, the water extracted for drinking from such area will be contaminated. Pollution in larger water body can cause death of water creature and hence pose a threat to fishing.

Your office has a 0.025 m^3 cylindrical container of drinking water. The radius of the container is about 13 cm. Required:a. Whe

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

a) 105935.7 Pa

b) 103630.35 Pa

Explanation:

The volume of the container = 0.025 m^3

The radius of the container = 13 cm = 0.13 m

We have to find the height of the tank

From the equation for finding the volume of the cylinder,

V = $\pi r^2h$

where

V is the volume of the cylinder

h is the height of the cylinder

substituting values, we have

0.025 = 3.142 x $0.13^2$ x h

0.025 = 0.0531h

h = 0.025/0.0531 = 0.47 m

Pressure at the bottom of the tank P = ρgh

where

ρ is the density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h is the depth of water which is equal to the height of the tank

substituting values, we have

P = 1000 x 9.81 x 0.47 = 4610.7 Pa

atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa

therefore, the pressure in the tank bottom above atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa + 4610.7 Pa = 105935.7 Pa

b) For half way down the container, depth of water will be = 0.47/2 = 0.235 m

pressure P = 1000 x 9.81 x 0.235 = 2305.35 Pa

This pressure above atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa + 2305.35 Pa = 103630.35 Pa

During an episode of turbulence in an airplane you feel 210 n heavier than usual.if your mass is 72 kg, what are the magnitude a

lana66690 [7]

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the net force experienced by the system is equal to the mass of the system in question times the acceleration in motion. In this case, the net force is the difference of gravitational force and the force experience by the motion of the airplane. This difference is already given to be 210 N.

Net force = ma
210 N = (73 kg)(a)
a = +2.92 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration of the airplane's motion is 2.92 m/s² to the positive direction which is upwards.
