Explanation:

damming of water which changes water flow, in turn could/does cause road/ property flooding

directly being related to water usage, if we have droughts(lack of rain) there we have less water to use for the power.

A loudspeaker located in air generates sound waves of frequency 1,000 Hz. Some of these sound waves enter a pool of water, where

prisoha [69]

Answer:

1.4 m

Explanation:

v = Speed of sound in water = 1400 m/s

f = Frequency of sound = 1000 Hz

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

When we multiply the frequency and the wavelength of a wave we get the velocity of sound in that medium

$v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{1400}{1000}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=1.4\ m$

The wavelength of the sound waves in water is 1.4 m

What do electrons in the same shell have in common? AThey have the same amount of energy incorrect answer BThey are all positive

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

They have the same amount of energy

Explanation:

Electrons are said to be the subatomic particles that move around the nucleus of an atom. These electrons are negatively charged particles that are seen to be quite smaller than the nucleus of an atom.

The electron shells of these atoms are usually being filled from the inside out with the low-energy shells closer to the nucleus being filled before they can go into the much higher-energy shells that are a bit out

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)

A baton twirler is twirling her aluminum baton in a horizontal circle at a rate of 2.33 revolutions per second. A baton held hor

Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that;

horizontal circle at a rate of 2.33 revolutions per second

the magnetic field of the Earth is 0.500 gauss

the baton is 60.1 cm in length.

the magnetic field is oriented at 14.42°

we wil get the area due to rotation of radius of baton is

$\Delta A = \frac{1}{2} \Delta \theta R^2$

The formula for the induced emf is

$E = \frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}$

$\phi = \texttt {magnetic flux}$

$E=\frac{\Delta (BA) }{\Delta t}$

$=B\frac{\Delta A}{\Delta t}$

B is the magnetic field strength

substitute

$\texttt {substitute}\ \frac{1}{2} \Delta \theta R^2 \ \ for \Delta A$

$E=B\frac{(\Delta \theta R^3/2)}{\Delta t} \\\\=\frac{1}{2} BR^2\omega$

The magnetic field of the earth is oriented at 14.42

$\omega =2.33\\\\L=60.1c,\\\\\theta=14.42\\\\B=0.5$

we plug in the values in the equation above

so, the induce EMF will be

$E=\frac{1}{2} \times (B\sin \theta)R^2\omega\\\\E=\frac{1}{2} \times (B\sin \theta)(\frac{L}{2} )\omega$

$=\frac{1}{2} \times0.5gauss\times\frac{0.0001T}{1gauss} \times\sin 14.42\times(\frac{60.1\times10^-^2m}{2} )^2(2.33rev/s)(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev} )\\\\=2.5\times10^-^5\times0.2490\times0.0903\times14.63982\\\\=2.5\times10^-^5\times0.32917\\\\=8.229\times10^-^6V$
