Answer:

1- Surface water

2- Groundwater

3- Lake

4- River

5- Watershed/Catchment basin

6- Wetland

Explanation:

  • Surface water refers to all the water bodies that are present on the surface of the earth. This includes rivers, streams, ponds, lakes.
  • Groundwater refers to the subsurface flow of water. When precipitation occurs, the water percolates downward through the rocks in the region where the rocks are porous and permeable, and this water then becomes groundwater.
  • A lake is usually defined as a large water body that is comprised of nutrient minerals and has extensive areas of open water. The depth of the lakes from one place to another and some are so deep that sunlight cannot penetrate into the deeper zone and the plants cannot carry out the process of photosynthesis.
  • A river is defined as a water body that flows from a region of higher elevation to the region of lower elevation and it flows across the land surface and configures the landscape.
  • Catchment basin is usually defined as a large area in which the precipitation occurs and the waters are accumulated and flow downward and mix up with the river channel and streams.
  • Wetlands are usually defined as an ecosystem that is comprised of shallow standing water, and a sufficient amount of vegetation.

Although we have discussed single-slit diffraction only for a slit, a similar result holds when light bends around a straight, t
user100 [1]

Answer:

The width of the strand of hair is   1.96 10⁻⁵ m

Explanation:

For this diffraction problem they tell us that it is equivalent to the diffraction of a single slit, which is explained by the equation

<h3>       a sin θ =±  m λ </h3><h3 />

Where the different temrs are: “a” the width of the hair, λ the wavelength, θ the angle from the center, m the order of diffraction, which is the number of bright rings (constructive diffraction)  

We can see that the diffraction angle is missing, but we can find it by trigonometry, where L is the distance of the strand of hair to the observation screen and "y" is the perpendicular distance to the first minimum of intensity

        L = 1.25 m 100 cm/1m   = 125 cm

       y = 5.06 cm  

      Tan θ = y/L

      Tan θ = 5.06/125

      θ = tan⁻¹ ( 0.0405)

      θ =  2.32º

With this data we can continue analyzing the problem, they indicate that they measure the distance to the first dark strip, thus m = 1

     a = m λ / sin θ

     a = 1 633 10⁻⁹ 1.25/sin 2.3

     a = 1.96 10⁻⁵ m  

     a = 0.0196 mm

The width of the strand of hair is   1.96 10⁻⁵ m

1. How much heat must be absorbed by 375 grams of water to raise its
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

39225J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of water  = 375grams of water

Change in temperature  = 25°C

Specific heat capacity of water  = 4.184J/g°C

Unknown:

Amount of heat absorbed  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

      H  = m c Ф  

H is the heat absorbed

m is the mass

c is the specific heat capacity

Ф is the change in temperature

  Insert the parameters and solve;

      H  = 375 x 4.184 x (25) = 39225J

A friend claims that throwing a baseball up towards the school roof illustrates gravitational potential energy transforming into
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The Statement is wrong because the reverse is the case as it is the  kinetic energy that is being transformed to gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

As your friend throws  the baseball into the air the ball gains an initial velocity (u) and this makes the Kinetic energy to be equal to

                    KE = \frac{1}{2} mu^2

Here  m is the mass of the baseball

       Now as this ball moves further upward the that velocity it gained reduce due to the gravitational force and this in turn reduces the kinetic energy of the ball and this kinetic energy lost is being converted to gravitational potential energy which is mathematically represented as (m×g×h)

as energy can not be destroyed but converted to a different form according to the first law of thermodynamics

Looking a the formula for gravitational potential energy we see that the higher the ball goes the grater the gravitational potential energy.
