Identify the law that describes how rock layers settle over time

Hydraulic engineers often use, as a unit of volume of water, the "acre-foot", defined as the volume of water that will cover 1 a

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Volume = 1,015 acre-feet (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Rain = 1.7 in

Time = 30 min

Area = 29 km²

Find:

Volume in acre-feet

Computation:

1 km = 1,000 m

1 m = 3.28 feet

1 km² = 247.105 acre

d = 1.7 in = 1.7 / 12 = 0.14167 ft

Area = 29 × 247.105 = 7,166.045 acre

Volume = 7,166.045 acre × 0.14167 ft

Volume = 1,015 acre-feet (Approx)

the wattage ratting of a light bulb is the power it sonsumers when it is connected accross a 120 V potential difference what is

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

240 Ω

Explanation:

Resistance: This can be defined as the opposition to the flow of current in an electric field. The S.I unit of resistance is ohms (Ω).

The expression for resistance power and voltage is give as,

P = V²/R.......................... Equation 1

Where P = Power, V = Voltage, R = Resistance

Making R the subject of the equation,

R = V²/P.................... Equation 2

Given: V = 120 V, P = 60 W.

Substitute into equation 2

R = 120²/60

R = 240 Ω

Hence the resistance of the bulb = 240 Ω

Based on the following equation, answer the questions below. ρ = (2γϕ + ψ)/rg where ρ [=] moles per cubic foot [mol/ft3] γ [=] j

AlekseyPX

1) Fundamental units of $\Psi$ are $[\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]$

2) Fundamental units of $\Phi$ are $[\frac{mol}{m^3}]$

Explanation:

The equation for the variable $\rho$ is

$\rho =\frac{2\gamma \Phi+\Psi}{rg}$

where we have:

$\rho$ measured in $[\frac{mol}{ft^3}]$

$\gamma$ measured in $[\frac{J}{kg}]$

$r$ measured in $[in]$

$g$ measured in $[\frac{m}{s^2}]$

We can re-write the equation as

$\rho rg = 2\gamma \Phi + \Psi$

And we notice that the units of the term on the left must be equal to the units of the term on the right.

This means that:

1) First of all, $\Psi$ must have the same units of $\rho r g$ . So,

$[\rho r g]=[\frac{mol}{ft^3}][in][\frac{m}{s^2}]$

However, both ft (feet) and in (inches) are not fundamental dimensions: this means that they can be expressed as meters. Therefore, the fundamental units of $\Psi$ are

$[\Psi]=[\frac{mol}{m^3}][m][\frac{m}{s^2}]=[\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]$

2)

The term $2\gamma \Phi$ must have the same units of $\Psi$ in order to be added to it. Therefore,

$[\gamma \Phi] = [\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]$

We also know that the units of $\gamma$ are $[\frac{J}{kg}]$ , therefore

$[\frac{J}{kg}][\Phi]= [\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]$

And so, the fundamental units of $\Phi$ are

$[\Phi]= [\frac{mol\cdot kg}{J\cdot m\cdot s^2}]$

However, the Joules can be written as

$[J]=[kg][\frac{m^2}{s^2}]$

Therefore

$[\Phi]= [\frac{mol\cdot kg}{(kg \frac{m^2}{s^2})\cdot m\cdot s^2}]=[\Phi]= [\frac{mol}{m^3}]$

Why does earth have the youngest surface of all the terrestrial planets today?

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Its the biggest terrestrial planet as the result of the interior being not able to cool down that much.

its rotates rapidly

Explanation:

the earth planet is not close to the sun,which puts it in the advantage of not loosing water.
