Answer:

building and managing of irrigation systems

Explanation:

John Wesley Powell observed that in the lands of the American west in the spring the land used to flood. However, this water could not sustain agriculture for the rest of the year.

The act was introduced by Francis G. Newlands so that building of irrigation systems could be done. This reclamation was the reason why human population grew in the west.

The following quantities describe location or its change:position, distance, and a displacement. Which are vectors?

-Dominant- [34]

As per the question there are three physical quantities named as position,distance and displacement.

Before coming into a conclusion first we have to understand a vector and a scalar.

A scalar quantity is a quantity which has only magnitude for it's complete specifications.

A vector is a quantity which has magnitude as well as direction and at the same time it is in accordance with the paraellogram law of vector addition.

Out of the three options displacement and position are vector quantities.It is because it is the minimum distance between two points .It has magnitude as well as direction.

Distance can not be considered as a vector quantity as it has only magnitude.There is no specific directions of distance travelled.

Position vector is a vector which provides location of an object in a plane or space.It is nothing else except the point which has x,y,z coordinates with origin is taken as the reference point.

Hence position and displacement are vectors

What do comets and asteroids have in common? Check all that apply.

Sidana [21]

Answer:

- They are orbiting the Sun

- They are small compared to the planets

Explanation:

- Comets are small bodies made of rock and ice that have a highly elliptical orbit, and that warm when they pass close to the Sun, releasing gas due to the sublimation of the ice, producing a characteristic "tail" that can extend even for hundreds of kilometers. They are generally located outside the Solar System, in the Oort cloud.

- Asteroids are irregular bodies whose size range from a few km to even a few hundreds of km, that orbit the Sun in an area of the Solar System located between Mars and Jupiter, called "Asteroid belt". They are made mainly of rock and metal debris

So now we can analyze the statements given:

- They are made of ice: FALSE, because this is only valid for comets

- They are orbiting the Sun: TRUE for both comets and asteroids

- They are made of metal debris: FALSE, this is only valid for asteroids

- They are small compared to the planets: TRUE for both (the biggest asteroid, Ceres, has a radius of approx 500 km, much smaller than the smallest planet, Mercury)

- They are at the center of the solar system: FALSE for both

While researching scuba diving, Pablo reads how hot a tank should get while being filled with air. Which law best explains why t

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Gay-Lussac’s law, because as the pressure increases, the temperature increases

Explanation:

First of all, we can notice that the volume of the tank is fixed: this means that the volume of the air inside is also fixed.

This means that in this situation we can apply Gay-Lussac's law, which states that:

"for a gas kept at constant volume, the pressure of the gas is proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas".

Mathematically:

$p\propto T$

where p is the pressure in Pascal and T is the temperature in Kelvin.

In this case, the tank is filled with air: this means that the pressure of the gas inside the tank increases. And therefore, according to Gay-Lussac's law, the temperature will increase proportionally, and this explains why the tank gets hot.

A parallel RLC resonant circuit has a resistance of 200 Ω. If it is known that the bandwidth is 80 rad/s and the lower half-powe

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

L= 3.6mH

C =9.9 microfarad

Explanation:

Resonant frequency fr

fr = fl + 1/2 BW

fr = 800+ 1/2×80

=800+40

=840 rad/s

Bandwidth (BW)

BW = fr/Q

Q = quality factor

Q= fr/ BW

Q = 840/80

Q= 10.5

Quality factor = R/Xl

Xl = inductive reactance

Xl = R/Q

Xl = 200/10.5

Xl = 19.05 ohms

Xl =2πfL

L= Inductance

L = Xl /2πf

L =19.05/5278.56

L= 3.6mH

Capacitor C

1= fr^2 × 4π^2LC

C = 1/fr^24π^2L

C = 1/100307.5

C= 9.9microfarad
