Describe the full water cycle

sergey [27]

The water cycle (hydro-logic cycle), explains the constant motion of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth. The mass of water on Earth stays equally constant over time, although the severe portion of the water goes into the major reservoirs of ice, fresh water, saline water and atmospheric water is variable depending on a wide range of climatic variables. The water moves from one reservoir to another, such as from river to ocean, or from the ocean to the atmosphere, by the physical processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff, and subsurface flow. In doing so, the water goes through different forms: liquid, solid (ice) and vapor.

A bucket of water of mass 14.0 kg is suspended by a rope wrapped around a windlass, that is a solid cylinder with diameter 0.260

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The tension in the rope is 41.38 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of bucket of water = 14.0 kg

Diameter of cylinder = 0.260 m

Mass of cylinder = 12.1 kg

Distance = 10.7 m

Suppose we need to find that,

What is the tension in the rope while the bucket is falling

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using relation of torque

$\tau=F\times r$

$I\times\alpha=F\times r$

Where, I = moment of inertia

$\alpha$ = angular acceleration

$\dfrac{Mr^2}{2}\times\dfrac{a}{r}=F\times r$

$F=\dfrac{M}{2}a$ ...(I)

Here, F = tension

The force is

$F=m(g-a)$ ...(II)

Where, F = tension

a = acceleration

From equation (I) and (II)

$\dfrac{M}{2}a=m(g-a)$

$a=\dfrac{g}{1+\dfrac{M}{2m}}$

Put the value into the formula

$a=\dfrac{9.8}{1+\dfrac{12.1}{2\times14.0}}$

$a=6.84\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the tension in the rope

Using equation (I)

$F=\dfrac{M}{2}a$

Put the value into the formula

$F=\dfrac{12.1}{2}\times6.84$

$F=41.38\ N$

Hence, The tension in the rope is 41.38 N.

describe the charge, mass and the location of each subatomic particle and the role each plays in determining the properties of a

Harrizon [31]

Explanation :

An atom is a smallest particle of matter. An atom consists of protons, neutrons and electrons. These are three subatomic particles.

Protons are positively charged species while neutrons are negatively charged species. Electrons revolves around an atom.

Charge :

The charge of an electron is negative or $-1.6\times 10^{-19} \ C$

The charge of proton is +e or $1.6\times 10^{-19} \ C$

Neutron has no charge.

Mass :

Atomic mass of electron is $9.1\times10^{-31}\ Kg$

Atomic mass of proton is $1.67\times10^{-27}\ Kg$

Atomic mass of neutron is $1.67\times10^{-27}\ Kg$

Both protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus at the center.

Charge, atomic mass and location determines the properties of an atom. Atomic mass tells about the number of protons and neutrons inside an atom. Electric charge tells us the number of electrons gain or lost.
