Which type of soil can retain the greatest amount of water- high porosity, low porosity, low permeability or high permeability

1 answer:

3 0

The answer is: HIGH POROSITY.
________________________________
(although low permeability can be associated with greater water retention. Permeability can be affected by particular size. For instance, larger particular have larger poles, so fluid (water) can pass through water quickly (higher permeability and less water retention). As such, smaller particles have smaller pores, so fluid (water) can pass through water LESS quickly (lower permeability and RETAINING MORE WATER.).
_______________________
However, "high porosity" is the best choice.

When Carla solved for the height from the ground to the point where the ladder

Westkost [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Given

Represent the vertical angle with $\theta$

$\theta = 75$

The question has incomplete details because the length of the ladder is not given; neither is the distance between the ladder and the wall given.

See attachment for illustration

So, this solution will be based on assumptions.

Represent

- The height from ground to the top of the ladder with y

- The length of the ladder with L

- The distance between the ladder and the wall with x

Carla could solve for y in any of the following ways:

1. Tan formula

$tan \theta = \frac{opp}{adj}$

In this case:

$tan \theta = \frac{x}{y}$

Multiply both sides by y

$y * tan \theta = \frac{x}{y} * y$

$y * tan \theta = x$

Divide both sides by tan

$y = \frac{x}{tan \theta}$

$y = \frac{x}{tan 75}$

This can be used if the distance (x) between the ladder and the wall is known.

Assume x = 15

$y = \frac{15}{tan 75}$

$y = 4.02$

2. Cosine formula

$cos \theta = \frac{adj}{hyp}$

In this case:

$cos \theta = \frac{y}{L}$

Multiply both sides by L

$L * cos \theta = \frac{y}{L} * L$

$Lcos \theta = y$

$y = Lcos \theta$

$y = Lcos75$

This can be used if the length (L) of the ladder is known.

Assume L = 15

$y = 15 * cos75$

$y = 3.88$

Which statement best explains why scientists depend on submersibles to study ocean features?

natali 33 [55]

ANSWER:

The statement "the extreme pressure and freezing temperatures of the deep ocean make it dangerous to send humans to the greatest ocean depths" best explains why scientists depend on submersibles to study ocean features .

EXPLANATION:

The oceans are so vast and deep that humans cannot withstand the pressure in depths.

Submersibles are developed in such a manner that they can travel to the deepest parts of the ocean and study ocean life.

Submersibles are vehicles that have the capability to carry humans as well to the deep ocean floors or these can be controlled in an automatic manner.

The submersibles are provided with tools and technologies that can record ocean floor features and make their study possible.
