Describe how humans’ actions and natural processes have modified coastal regions in Louisiana and other locations

1 answer:

3 0

Coastal erosion has depleted a large portion of South Louisiana's wetlands along the coastline in swamps and marshes mainly due to storm surges. But other factors also contributed to this erosion. Canals and waterways dug through the marshes and swamps for the oil industry is one factor. Man-made levees erected to provide protection to residents living adjacent to the river is another major cause. Large scale logging especially in the early 1900's also damaged the wetlands.

There is strong evidence that Europa, a satellite of Jupiter, has a liquid ocean beneath its icy surface. Many scientists think

dangina [55]

Answer:

4.44 rpm

Explanation:

$\omega$ = Angular speed

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of Europa = $\frac{3138000}{2}\ m$

R = Radius of arm = 6 m

The acceleration due to gravity is given by

$g=\frac{GM}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 4.8\times 10^{22}}{\left(\frac{3138000}{2}\right)^2}\\\Rightarrow g=1.3\ m/s^2$

Here the centripetal acceleration of the arm and acceleration due to gravity are equal

$a_c=\omega^2R$

$a_c=g\\\Rightarrow \omega^2R=1.3\\\Rightarrow \omega^2\times 6=1.3\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{1.3}{6}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=0.46547\ rad/s$

Converting to rpm

$1\ rad/s=\frac{60}{2\pi}\ rpm$

$0.46547\ rad/s=0.46547\times \frac{60}{2\pi}\ rpm=4.44\ rpm$

The angular speed of the arm is 4.44 rpm

A constant magnetic flux through a closed loop of wire induces an emf in that loop. True or false?

miskamm [114]

Answer: False

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the Faraday law, which say

dФm/dt=-ε it means that the variation of the magnetic field flux with time is equal to the emf ( electromotive force). In our case the magnetic flux is constant then there is not a emf induced in a wire closed loop.

A uniform brick of length 21 m is placed over

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

15.75 m

Explanation:

First, let's look at the top brick by itself. In order for it not to tip over the bottom brick, its center of gravity must be right at the edge of the bottom brick. So the edge of the top brick must be 10.5 m from the edge of the bottom brick.

Now let's look at both bricks as a combined mass. We know the total length of this combined brick is 10.5 m + 21 m = 31.5 m. And we know that for it to not tip over the edge of the surface, its center of gravity must be at the edge. So the edge of the combined brick must be 31.5 m / 2 = 15.75 m from the edge of the surface.

Need help anybody thanks

If there are no windows, then the illumination in the room depends
only on the room and what's in it, not on anything outside.
The time of day has no effect. The other things all do.

What is the greatest distance an image can be located behind a convex spherical mirror?

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Maximum distance of image from mirror is equal to focal length of the mirror

Explanation:

As we know by the equation of mirror we have

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}$
