Answer:

Groundwater occasionally discharges into surface water and then, they flow together as a body of water in a watershed.

Explanation:

According to www.mbgnet.net A watershed describes an area of land that contains a common set of streams and rivers that all drain into a single larger body of water, such as a larger river, a lake or an ocean.

Therefore, when groundwater discharges into a body of surface water, for example a stream, the stream just like several other streams in a watershed would flow into a larger body of water.

Answer:

distance difference would a) increase

speed difference would f) stay the same

Explanation:

Let t be the time the 2nd skydiver takes to travel, since the first skydiver jumped first, his time would be t + Δt where Δt represent the duration between the the first skydiver and the 2nd one. Remember that as t progress (increases), Δt remain constant.

Their equations of motion for distance and velocities are

$s_2 = gt^2/2$

$s_1 = g(t + \Delta t)^2/2$

$v_2 = gt$

$v_1 = g(t + \Delta t)$

Their difference in distance are therefore:

$\Delta s = s_1 - s_2 = g(t + \Delta t)^2/2 - gt^2/2$

$\Delta s = g/2((t + \Delta t)^2 - t^2)$

$\Delta s = g/2(t + \Delta t - t)(t + \Delta t + t)$ (As $A^2 - B^2 = (A-B)(A+B)$

$\Delta s = g\Delta t/2(2t + \Delta t)$

So as time progress t increases, Δs would also increases, their distance becomes wider with time.

Similarly for their velocity difference

$\Delta v = v_1 - v_2 = g(t + \Delta t) - gt$

$\Delta v = gt + g\Delta t - gt = g\Delta t$

Since g and Δt both are constant, Δv would also remain constant, their difference in velocity remain the same.

This of this in this way: only the DIFFERENCE in speed stay the same, their own individual speed increases at same rate (due to same acceleration g). But the first skydiver is already at a faster speed (because he jumped first) when the 2nd one jumps. The 1st one would travel more distance compare to the 2nd one in a unit of time.

A) According to the nebular theory, the Solar System formed from a huge gaseous nebula which at a certain point was perturbated. Atoms and molecules started colliding, forming planetesimals (a sort of big rocks). The planetesimals were attracted to each other by gravity, forming bigger warm almost spherical objects called protoplanets, which at the end cooled down forming planets.
Therefore the correct answer is "all of the above".

b) The planets closer to the Sun were (and still are) subject to higher temperatures, due to their close distance to the Sun. In these conditions, rocky materials undergo condensation, while iced gaseous materials undergo vaporization. In the outer parts of the Solar System temperatures are too low to allow these transformations.
The correct answer is again "all of the above".

an object is placed at 19.3 cm in front of a diverging lens with a focal length of -18.7 cm. what is the magnification? enter a

The magnification <u>is 31.16.</u>

Magnification is the process of increasing the apparent size of something rather than its physical size. This increase is quantified by a calculated number, also called the "factor". If this number is less than 1, it means size reduction, sometimes called size reduction or reduction.

u = -19.3

f = -18.7 cm.

m = f/f-u

= -18.7/-18.7 +19.3

The term magnification refers to the size of the image produced by the lens compared to the size of the object. For lenses: Magnification "m" is the ratio of image height to object height. The magnification of a lens is defined as the ratio of image height to object height. It is also given by image distance and object distance. equal to the ratio of image distance to object distance.

Answer:

Spring constant, k = 0.3 N/m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on DNA molecule, $F=1.5\ nN=1.5\times 10^{-9}\ N$

The molecule got stretched by 5 nm, $x=5\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Let k is the spring constant of that DNA molecule. It can be calculated using the Hooke's law. It says that the force acting on the spring is directly proportional to the distance as :

$F=-kx$
