What is the saturated zone

Physics
1 answer:
uranmaximum [27]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Saturated zone is area below the water table in which the soil is completely saturated with groundwater.

Explanation:

The saturated zone lies below the ground. It is mainly the lower zone of rock along with the water table where pore spaces are completely filled with water. Even the saturated zone is sometimes separated into 2 subzones: the phreatic zone and the capillary fringe.

The area where pores spaces are not saturated with water is also unsaturated zone. Localized saturated zones can occur within the unsaturated zone. The unsaturated zone lies above the groundwater table.

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

80 N

Explanation:

For A + B: the net force is 100 N = (mA + mB)*a

a = 100/(20 + 5) = 100/25 = 4 m/s²

For A, the net force = mA * a = 20 * 4 = 80 N

How many coulombs of charge enter a 1.20 cm length of the axon during this process?
galina1969 [7]
During the inflow part of a cycle in the neurons approximately 5.6 × 10∧11 Na ions per meter, each with a charge of +e enter the axon.
Therefore, ions will be (5.6 ×10∧11) × (1.2/100)
                                  =  6.72 × 10 ∧8  Na ions
Charge of an electron is 1.6 × 10∧-19 Coulombs
Thus; 6.72 ×10∧ 8 ×1.6 ×10∧-19 = 1.0752 ×10∧-10 coulombs

A guitar string of length L = 0.79 m is oriented along the x-direction and under a tension of T = 74 N. The string is made of st
Orlov [11]

Answer:

74 N

Explanation:

T = Tension in the string = 74 N

\rho = Density of the steel = 7800 kg/m³

A = Area = \pi r^2

r = Radius = 8.5\times 10^{-4}\ m

Linear density is given by

\mu=\rho A\\\Rightarrow \mu=7800\times \pi (8.5\times 10^{-4})^2\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.0177\ kg/m

The linear density is 0.0177 kg/m

Velocity is given by

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{74}{0.0177}}\\\Rightarrow v=64.65903\ m/s

The velocity of the wave on the guitar string is 64.65903 m/s

Luden [163]

Answer:

Explanation:

From your other post, the complete question is:

"You are pulling a sled using a horizontal rèpe, as shown in the diagram. The rope pulls the sled. exerting a force of 50 N to the right. The snow exerts a friction force of 30 N on the sled to the left. The mass of the sled is 50 kg.

Find the sum of the force on the sled.

Determine the acceleration of the sled .

If the sled has an initial velocity 2m/s to the right, how fast will it be traveling after 5 seconds?

"

Given the rope exerting a force of 50 N to the right and the snow exerts a friction force of 30 N to the left, the sum of forces

= 50 - 30

= 20N to the right

The mass of sled is 50 kg and force = mass * acceleration.

Acceleration = Force / mass

= 20 / 50 = 0.4 m/s^2 to the right

If the sled has an initial velocity 2m/s to the right, after 5 seconds it will be traveling at initial velocity + acceleration * time

= 2 + 0.4*5

= 4 m/s to the right
