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.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

28.6 ohm

Explanation:

there is a 3rd resistor in series. voltage drop across the resistors will be equal to 60v

7*.2+7*.2 +.2x = 60

2.8+.2x = 60

.2x = 57.2

If a circuit contains a 12v battery and two 3 bulbs in series

Paha777 [63]

If the resistance of each bulb is 3 ohms, and they are connected across the battery, then current will flow through them.

In series, the two 3-ohm bulbs will look like a single 6-ohm resistance.

Current = (voltage) / (resistance) = (12v) / (6 ohms) = 2 Amperes.

The battery will need to deliver some power to the circuit.

Power = (voltage) x (current) = (12v) x (2 Amperes) = 24 watts .

Each bulb will dissipate 12 watts, in the form of light and heat.

Answer:

The intensity of light passing from the third polarizer is 3Io/16.

Explanation:

The law of Malus is given by

$I=I_o cos^2\theta$

Let the incident intensity of light is Io.

The intensity of light passing from the first polarizer is

$I' = \frac{I_o}{2}$

The intensity of light passing from the second polarizer is

$I''=\frac{I_o}{2}\times cos^230 =\frac{3I_o}{8}$

The intensity of light passing from the third polarizer is

$I''' = \frac{3I_o}{8}\times cos^2 60\\\\\\I''' = \frac{3I_o}{16}$

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

$a_x = 0\\\\a_y = -g = -9.81\ \ \frac{m}{s^2} \\\\v_{iy} = 0 \\\\y = v_{iy} \times t+ \frac{1}{2ay} \times t^2 \\\\ 15 = \frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times t^2 \\\\t = \sqrt{(2 \times \frac{15}{9.8})} \\\\$

$= 1.75 \ sec \\\\$

Distance:

$x = v_{ix} \times t \\\\$

$= 8 \times 1.75\\\\= 14 m$
