Answer: Watershed

A watershed or drainage basin is a down the slope land where the water is drained off from sources of water flowing comparatively at some elevation. It includes water from rivers, river streams that progressively drain into larger areas. The initial source of watershed is called as headwater. The endpoint of watershed is open up into another water body is called as mouth.

Which shows a decrease in fluid pressure? A. Water in a creek slows down as it enters a slow-moving river. B. Oxygen is compress

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Option D.

A fan is turned from high speed to low speed.

Explanation:

It is important to note that air is also a fluid.

In a system, static pressure of air increases with the speed of rotation of the fan. This is because when the speed of the fan is increased, the force with which it is pushing the air molecules is increased. Since pressure is a relationship between force and area, the pressure of the air molecules will be increased.

Conversely, when the speed of the fan is reduced, the priming force on the air molecules will be reduced, hence the pressure of the air will drop.

This makes option D the correct option

A series of pulses of amplitude 0.25 m are sent down a string that is attached to a post at one end. The pulses are reflected at

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

since the string is rigidly attached to the post, the reflected and incident pulses are of the same amplitude but different polarities. At the point where the two pulses meet, the amplitude will be the addition of that of the incident and the reflected pulses. i.e Amplitude= 0.25 + -0.25=0m

The age of a piece of wood from an archeological site is to be determined using the Carbon-14 method. The activity of the sample

Bond [772]

Answer:

4276.98 years

Explanation:

t = age of the sample in numbers of years

T = half life of the carbon-14 isotope = 5730 yrs

λ = decay constant of carbon-14

decay constant is given as

$\lambda =\frac{0.693}{T}$
