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).

Un cuerpo se mueve con MRU a una rapidez de 12 m/s y recorre 240 m; luego, disminuye su ra¬pidez uniformemente a razón de 2 m/s2
Annette [7]

Answer:

29 seconds

Explanation:

First we have a constant speed of 12 m/s and the distance of 240 m, so to find the time we can use the formula:

distance = speed * time

240 = 12 * time1

time1 = 20 seconds

Then, the speed decreases at 2 m/s2 until it reaches 2 m/s. So to find this time, we use this formula:

Final speed = inicial speed + acceleration * time

2 = 12 - 2 * time2

2*time2 = 10

time2 = 5 seconds.

Then, the speed increases from 2 m/s to 22 m/s with an acceleration of 5 m/s2, so we have:

Final speed = inicial speed + acceleration * time

22 = 2 + 5 * time3

5*time3= 20

time3 = 4 seconds

The total time is:

Total time = time1 + time2 + time3 = 20 + 5 + 4 = 29 seconds
