Answer:

Water travels in a continuous path through Earth called the water cycle. The journey starts in the Earth's oceans. As the Sun heats the ocean, the water evaporates into a gas. The gas meets cooler air, and the gas changes into droplets of tiny water molecules. This process is called condensation. Little droplets of water fall back down to Earth again as precipitation. The precipitation fills up the rivers and various other things and the cycle begins all over again.

molecules of water are never destroyed - they go through various uses in a cycle of re-use. beginning in the ocean. a water molecue is attached to the wet suit of a deep sea diver. when the diver gets back on his boat, the water molecule leaves the ocean. Diver dry his suit under the sun. The water molecule is evaporated to the air. It meets up with more water molecules to form cloud. Cloud becomes rain over ground. Rain drains into stream which merges into river. River runs out to the ocean and the water cycle starts anew.

If cooling occurred at the bottom of a lake instead of its surface, the lake

AlladinOne [14]

No because the top has more oxygen to it which will break the particles up and have them freeze easier.

so if something froze at the bottom of the lake it would float to the top and that's why water always freezes from the top down :))

Montano1993 [528]

Explanation:

let vertical distance from A to C be $h=250mm$ the constraint equation is:

$l_{ac} +l_{ab} =L$

we want to find $l_{bc}$ distance can be written as $l_{bc} =h_{1}+h_{2}$ which we will find by using Pythagorean theorem h 1 is a constant and can be written as h:

$h_{2} =\sqrt{l_{ab}^2- s_{A} ^2}$

$l_{ac} =\sqrt{s_{A}^2+ h^2 }$

$l_{ab} =L-\sqrt{s_{A} ^2+h^2 }$

taking derivative w.r.t time we get

$h^._{2} =-v_{B =(l_{ab} l_{ab} ^.-s_{A} v_{A} )/h_{2}$

$l_{ab} ^.=(s_{A} v_{A} )/l_{ab} -L$

given $s_{A} =425mm$ which gives us

$l_{ab} =1050-\sqrt{450^2+250^2} =556.923mm\\\\h_{2} =\sqrt{556.923^2-425^2}=359.914mm$

$l_{ab} ^.=(425.25)/(556.923-1050)=-21.548mm\\\\-v_{B} =(-556.923*21.548-425.25)/(359.914)\\\\v_{B} =62.864mm/s$

Bad White [126]

I should think that Yolanda should use litmus paper throughout the reaction as its color will tell when the mixture is neutral and therefore then, when she can stop adding either the hydrochloric acid or the sodium hydroxide or if one or the other needs to be added to make the solution approach neutral. Blue litmus paper stays blue in a neutral solution, but will turn red in an acidic solution.

Luden [163]

Let's call this "certain amount" with a variable, x, (since it's not specified in the question, I will assume that the answer shall just be based on this variable).

So every additional floor will make the building sink by x, and let's make the unit cm, so x cm.

Now we know that the maximum depression is 20 cm, and it is also

x*y, where y is the number of floors.

So we have x*y=20,

therefore the number of floors is:
20/x or This is the answer
