How can humans building a drainage system affect the water cycle?

Answer: C Water would be directed to a new location because of the drains.

Explanation:

The human constructed drainage system will likely to transport the water in the form of numerous drains coming from a single large water source. As a result of this the water from the native water source will be distributed to distinct locations. This is going to affect the water cycle of the region as water in the native water body may wiped out or completely dried up. As a result of this the water cycle of that region will be affected. As the water will not be available for formation of clouds in the absence of water body and hence, no rainfall will occur in that region.

Human building a drainage system could affect the water cycle because :
C. water would be directed to a new location because of the drains

This could potentially changed the natural occurrence that usually happened within the water cycle

hope this helps

Suppose that an asteroid traveling straight toward the center of the earth were to collide with our planet at the equator and bu

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{10}$ M

Explanation:

To apply the concept of angular momentum conservation, there should be no external torque before and after

As the asteroid is travelling directly towards the center of the Earth, after impact ,it does not impose any torque on earth's rotation, So angular momentum of earth is conserved

⇒ $I_{1} \times W_{1} =I_{2} \times W_{2}$

$I_{1}$ is the moment of interia of earth before impact
$W_{1}$ is the angular velocity of earth about an axis passing through the center of earth before impact
$I_{2}$ is moment of interia of earth and asteroid system
$W_{2}$ is the angular velocity of earth and asteroid system about the same axis

let $W_{1}=W$

since $\text{Time period of rotation}∝$ $\frac{1}{\text{Angular velocity}}$

⇒ if time period is to increase by 25%, which is $\frac{5}{4}$ times, the angular velocity decreases 25% which is $\frac{4}{5}$ times

therefore $W_{1}$ $=$ $\frac{4}{5} \times W_{1}$

$I_{1}=\frac{2}{5} \times M\times R^{2}$ (moment of inertia of solid sphere)

where M is mass of earth

R is radius of earth

$I_{2}=\frac{2}{5} \times M\times R^{2}+M_{1}\times R^{2}$

(As given asteroid is very small compared to earth, we assume it be a particle compared to earth, therefore by parallel axis theorem we find its moment of inertia with respect to axis)

where $M_{1}$ is mass of asteroid

⇒ $\frac{2}{5} \times M\times R^{2} \times W_{1}=}(\frac{2}{5} \times M\times R^{2}$ $+$ $M_{1}\times R^{2})\times(\frac{4}{5} \times W_{1})$

$\frac{1}{2} \times M\times R^{2}$ = $(\frac{2}{5} \times M\times R^{2}$ + $M_{1}\times R^{2})$

$M_{1}\times R^{2}=$ $\frac{1}{10} \times M\times R^{2}$

⇒ $M_{1}=}$ $\frac{1}{10} \times M$

What is the Kinetic Energy of a tennis ball after 40.0cm of freefall?

OlgaM077 [116]

The kinetic energy is the same as the potential energy of raising it 40cm (0.4m). That's mgh where m is mass of ball. Its then 3.924*m, whatever m is equal to in kg.

A kite 100 ft above the ground moves horizontally at a speed of 11 ft/s. At what rate is the angle (in radians) between the stri

frutty [35]

Answer:

-2.26×10^-4 radians

Explanation:

The solution involves a right angle triangle

Length is z while the horizontal is the height x

X^2+ 100^2=z^2

Taking the derivatives

2x(dx/dt)=Z^2(dz/dt)

Specific moments = Z= 200 ,X= 100sqrt3 and dx/dt= 11

dz/dt= 1100sqrt3/200 = 9.53

Sin a= 100/a

Taking derivatives in terms of t

Cos a(da/dt)=100/z^2 dz/dt

a= 30°

Cos (30°)da/dt= (-100/40000×9.5)

a= -2.26×10^-4radians
