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.

Two 13 cm -long thin glass rods uniformly charged to +11nC are placed side by side, 4.0 cm apart. What are the electric field st

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

E1 = 10.15 * 10^4 N/C

E2 = 0

E3 = 10.15 *10^4 N/C

Explanation:

Given data:

Two 13 cm-long thin glass rods ( L ) = 0.13 m

charge (Q) = +11nC

distance between thin glass rods = 4 cm .

<u>Calculate the electric field strengths </u>

electric charge due to a single glass rod in the question ( E ) = $\frac{Q}{2\pi e_{0}rL }$

equation 1 can be used to determine E1, E2 and E3 because the points lie within the two rods hence the net electric field produced will be equal to the difference in electric fields produced

applying equation 1 to determine E1

E1 = $\frac{Q}{2\pi e_{0}rL }$ $( \frac{1}{0.01} - \frac{1}{0.03} )$ ( distance from 1 rod is 0.01 m and from the other rod is 0.03 )

= $\frac{11*10^{-9} }{2*3.14*8.85*10^{-12}*0.13 } ( 66.67 )$

= 10.15 * 10^4 N/C

applying equation 1 to determine E2

E2 = $\frac{Q}{2\pi e_{0}rL }$ $( \frac{1}{0.02} - \frac{1}{0.02} )$

therefore E2 = 0

E1 = E3

hence E3 = 10.15*10^4 N/C

A 0.15-kg ball is thrown into the air and rises to a height of 20.0 m. How much kinetic energy did the ball initially have?

zzz [600]

IF the toss was straight upward, then the kinetic energy it got
from the toss is the gravitational potential energy it has at the top,
where it stops rising and starts falling.

Potential energy = (mass) x   (gravity) x (height)

   = (0.15 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (20 m)

   = 29.4 kg-m²/s² = 29.4 joules .
