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.

<h3><u>Answer and explanation;</u></h3>

Reflection;

Bounces back from an opaque material
Bounces back from the boundary of two mediums
Seen in mirrors

Refraction;

Passes through a prism
Moves from one medium to another
Seen in lenses

Reflection refers to the bouncing of waves such as light waves. It involves a change in direction of waves when they bounce off a barrier.

Refraction is the bending of waves when they move from one medium to another. It involves a change in the direction of waves as they pass from one medium to another.

A submarine is 2.99 ✕ 102 m horizontally from shore and 1.00 ✕ 102 m beneath the surface of the water. A laser beam is sent from

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

a The diagram of the situation is shown on the first uploaded image

b the angle of incidence beam striking the water is $\theta = 49.63^o$

c the angle of refraction beam striking the water is $r = 59.7^o$

d The angle the refracted beam make with respect to the horizontal is $= 30.3^o$

e The height of the target above sea level is

$h= 125.05m$

Explanation:

From the diagram we see that the angle of the beam striking the water is

$tan \theta = \frac{100}{85}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{100}{85} )$

$= 49.63^o$

According to Snell's law

$\mu_{water} *sin(i) = \mu_{air} *sin(r)$

Where $\mu_{water }$ is the refractive index of water = 1.333

$i$ is the angle of incidence

$\mu_{air}$ is the refractive index of air = 1

r is the angle of refraction

Substituting values accordingly

$1.33 * sin (40.37) = 1 * sin(r)$

Making r the subject of the formula

$r = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.333 *sin(40.37)}{1})$

$= 59.7^o$

looking at the diagram we can see that to obtain the angle the refraction beam makes with the horizontal by subtracting the angle refraction from 90°

i.e $90 -59.7 = 30.3$ °

From the diagram we see that the height target above sea level can be obtained by this relation

$tan \theta = \frac{h}{214}\\$

Where h is the is the height

$tan(30.3) = \frac{h}{214}$

$h = 214 * tan (30.3)$

$=125.05m$

Draw Graph for the derivation of three equations of Motion

Over [174]

Answer:

Hey mate I shall not tell you the answer I shall explain it to you after this if still you can't understand then say

Explanation:

Derive v = u + at by Graphical Method. Consider the velocity – time graph of a body shown in the below Figure

Derive s = ut + (1/2) at2 by Graphical Method. Velocity so time graph to derive the equations of motion.

Derive v2 = u2 + 2as by Graphical Method. Velocity–Time graph to derive the equations of motion.

I hope you understand now

Who is the founder of operant conditioning?

Gemiola [76]

Operant conditioning, sometimes called <em>instrumental learning</em>, was first extensively studied by Edward L. Thorndike, who observed the behavior of cats trying to escape from home-made puzzle boxes.
