What type of energy is involved when a river moves sediment and erodes its banks?

1 answer:

8 0

First question: The type of energy involved when a river moves sediment and erodes its banks is: option d. Kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy associated with motion. A body (in this case the water) that moves has an energy associated with its motion that is proportional to the speed (exactly to the square of the speed). When the water collides with the banks it is the kinetic energy of the river that erodes it Second question: the answer is the option d. As gravity pulls water down a slope potential energy changes to knietic energy. This is the, water loses altitude and gains velocity. The potential energy. which is proportional to the height, decreases and the kinetic energy, which is proportional to the square of the speed, increases.

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The value is $q = 3.4 *10^{-6} \ C$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of each sphere is $m_1 = m_2 = m = 0.020 \ kg$

The length of the string is $l = 0.18 \ m$

The angle of with the vertical is $\theta = 7^o$

The acceleration due to gravity is $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$

Generally the force acting between the forces is mathematically represented as

$F = T cos \theta = \frac{k* q^2}{ r^2}$

=> $T cos \theta = \frac{k* q^2}{ r^2}$

Generally from Pythagoras theorem the radius of the circular curve created by the force is

$r = 2 L sin (\theta )$

=> $r = 2* 0.180 sin (7)$

=> $r = 0.043 \ m$

=> $q = tan \theta * \frac{m * g * r^2 }{k}$

=> $q = tan(7)* \frac{ 0.02 * 9.8 * 0.043^2 }{9*10^{9}}$

=> $q = 3.4 *10^{-6} \ C$

Describe the water cycle process starting from an afternoon thunderstorm. There are many different variations that could happen.

spin [16.1K]

Explanation:

The water cycle basically involves five steps:

evaporation and transpiration ⇄
condensation, ⇄
precipitation, ⇄
runoff, ⇄
infiltration ⇄

So when a thunderstorm occurs it helps in completing the precipitation process by enabling the release of water vapor stored up in the atmosphere to fall on the ground as rain.

After this, the water runoffs to the surface of the ground, on plants, into rocks, rivers, and lakes.

Next, the Infiltration process enables the water on the ground surface to enter the soil some of which becomes groundwater.

The cycle begins again as the evaporation and transpiration process begins, where the groundwater as a result of heat from the sun is taken back into the atmosphere, while water in plants by means of transpiration goes back into the atmosphere.

It then condenses and falls back as precipitation again.
