This type of water occurs as a liquid resource that is dispersed through numerous holes, pores, fractures, and cavities in bodie

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Although this may seem surprising, water beneath the ground is commonplace. Usually groundwater travels slowly and silently beneath the surface, but in some locations it bubbles to the surface at springs. The products of erosion and deposition by groundwater were described in the Erosion and Deposition chapter.

Groundwater is the largest reservoir of liquid fresh water on Earth and is found in aquifers, porous rock and sediment with water in between. Water is attracted to the soil particles and capillary action, which describes how water moves through a porous media, moves water from wet soil to dry areas.

Aquifers are found at different depths. Some are just below the surface and some are found much deeper below the land surface. A region may have more than one aquifer beneath it and even most deserts are above aquifers. The source region for an aquifer beneath a desert is likely to be far from where the aquifer is located; for example, it may be in a mountain area.

The amount of water that is available to enter groundwater in a region is influenced by the local climate, the slope of the land, the type of rock found at the surface, the vegetation cover, land use in the area, and water retention, which is the amount of water that remains in the ground. More water goes into the ground where there is a lot of rain, flat land, porous rock, exposed soil, and where water is not already filling the soil and rock.

The residence time of water in a groundwater aquifer can be from minutes to thousands of years. Groundwater is often called “fossil water” because it has remained in the ground for so long, often since the end of the ice ages.

What disadvantage of convex mirror

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

The disadvantage is that convex mirror is that they make it appear like those objects are at a more noteworthy distance than they actually are. It always gives a virtual, erect and a diminished image.

At a circus, a human cannonball is shot from a cannon at 15m/s at an angle of 40° above horizontal. She

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The height is $H = 6.74 \ m$

The horizontal distance is $D = 23.74 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed is $v = 15 \ m/s$

The angle is $\theta = 40^o$

The height of the cannon from the ground is h = 2 m

The distance of the net from the ground is k = 1 m

Generally the maximum height she reaches is mathematically represented as

$H = \frac{v^2 sin^2 \theta }{2 * g } + h$

=> $H = \frac{(15)^2 [sin (40)]^2 }{2 * 9.8} + 2$

=> $H = 6.74 \ m$

Generally from kinematic equation

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

Here s is the displacement which is mathematically represented as

s = [-(h-k)]

=> s = -(2-1)

=> s = -1 m

There reason why s = -1 m is because upward motion canceled the downward motion remaining only the distance of the net from the ground which was covered during the first half but not covered during the second half

a = -g = -9.8

$u = v sin (\theta)$
