Answer:

Flood Plain

Explanation:

The amount of water that circulates through a river, the flow, varies in time and space. These variations define the hydrological regime of a river. Temporary variations occur during or just after episodes of rains or thaws. Much of the water that falls in the catchment basin circulates underground, or feeds underground aquifers and takes much longer to feed the river flow and can reach it days, weeks or months after the rain generated by the runoff. The runoff that goes to the river is what increases its flow. In extreme cases, flooding can occur when the water supply is greater than the river's ability to evacuate it, overflowing and covering nearby flat areas or floodplain. In this distribution between the runoff water (or stream) that goes directly to the channel and water that infiltrates, feeds the aquifers and maintains the flow in the river in times without precipitation depends largely on the geomorphological integrity of the entire river system .

In natural dynamics, the river systems have their own space that has been modeled by the floodwaters and is made up of the channel, the banks and the plain or flood plain. Its dimensions have been defined by the main flood events that this river has attended. Floodplains are wide and flat areas built by the river in its floodwaters. They are flooded frequently and are covered by sediments and nutrients that fertilize the soil act as natural reservoirs, reducing the speed of the downstream current. They store floodwater and rainfall in aquifers (underground area).

•• CP Two blocks connected by a light horizontal rope sit at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. Block AA has mass 15.0
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

(a) T= 38.4 N

(b) m= 26.67 kg

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Kinematics

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² (Formula 2)

d:displacement in meters (m)  

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s  

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s²

v₀=0, d=18 m , t=5 s

We apply the formula 2 to calculate the accelerations of the blocks:

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t²

18= 0+  (1/2)*a*(5)²

a= (2*18) / ( 25) = 1.44 m/s² to the right

We apply Newton's second law to the block A

∑Fx = m*ax

60-T = 15*1.44

60 - 15*1.44 = T

T = 38.4 N

We apply Newton's second law to the block B

∑Fx = m*ax

T = m*ax

38.4 = m*1.44

m= (38.4) / (1.44)

m = 26.67 kg

A capacitor consists of two parallel plates, each with an area of 17.0 cm2 , separated by a distance of 0.150 cm . The material
Llana [10]

Answer:

a) C = 40.138\,pF, b) q = 16.056\,nC, c) U = 3.212\,\mu J

Explanation:

a) The capacitance of two parallel plates capacitor with dielectric is given by the following expression:

C = K\cdot \epsilon_{o}\cdot \frac{A}{d}

Where:

K - Dielectric constant.

\epsilon_{o} - Vaccum permitivity.

A - Plate area.

d - Distance between plates.

Hence, the capacitance of the system is:

C = (4.00)\cdot (8.854\times 10^{-12}\,\frac{F}{m} )\cdot \left(\frac{17\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}}{0.150\times 10^{-2}\,m}\right)

C = 4.014\cdot 10^{-11}\,F

C = 40.138\,pF

b) The charge can be found by using the definition of capacitance:

q = C\cdot V_{batt}

q = (4.014\times 10^{-11}\,F)\cdot (400\,V)

q = 1.606\times 10^{-8}\,C

q = 16.056\,nC

c) The energy stored in the charged capacitor is:

U=\frac{1}{2}\cdot Q\cdot V_{batt}

U=\frac{1}{2}\cdot (1.606\times 10^{-8}\,C)\cdot (400\,V)

U = 3.212\times 10^{-6}\,J

U = 3.212\,\mu J
