Answer: A. If the surface aquifer has a high water table

Explanation:

The water table refers to the water level underground. If it is high, it means that the water underground is close to the surface such that if a well was dug, it would not need to be dug too far for water to be seen.

When heavy rain falls, flooding is avoided if the water is either able to run off efficiently or if the ground is able to absorb the water. When the water table is high, it means that the ground will not be able to absorb much because the water is already close to the surface which means that should heavy rain fall, there will most likely be a flood.

brilliants [131]
1) Data:

Vo = 20 m/s
α = 37°
Yo = 0
Y = 3m

2) Questions: V at Y = 3m and X at Y = 3 m

3) Calculate components of the initial velocity

Vox = Vo * cos(37°) = 15.97 m/s

Voy = Vo * sin(37°) = 12.04 m/s

4) Formulas

Vx = constant = 15.97 m/s

X = Vx * t

Vy = Voy - g*t

Y = Yo + Voy * t - g (t^2) / 2

5) Calculate t when Y = 3m (first time)

Use g ≈ 9.8 m/s^2

3 = 12.04 * t - 4.9 t^2

=> 4.9 t^2 - 12.04t + 3 = 0

Use the quadratic equation to solve the equation

=> t = 0.28 s and t = 2.18s

First time => t = 0.28 s.

6) Calculate Vy when t = 0.28 s

Vy = 12.04 m/s  - 9.8 * 0.28s = 9.3 m/s

7) Calculate V:

V = √ [ (Vx)^2 + (Vy)^2 ] = √[ (15.97m/s)^2 + (9.30 m/s)^2 ] = 18.48 m/s

tan(β) = Vy/Vx = 9.30 / 15.97 ≈ 0.582 => β ≈ arctan(0.582) ≈ 30°

Answer: V ≈ 18.5 m/s, with angle ≈ 30°

8) Calculate X at t = 0.28s

X = Vx * t = 15.97 m/s * 0.28s = 4,47m ≈ 4,5m

Answer: X ≈ 4,5 m

"Light traveling in a medium with a refractive index 1.11 is incident on a plate of another medium with index of refraction 1.66
Kamila [148]

Answer:

56°

Explanation:

Brewsters angle can be simply derived from

n1sin theta1= n2sintheta2= n2costheta1

because the reflected light will be 100% polarized if it is reflected at an angle 90o to the refracted light. Hence, Brewsters angle is

Tan theta= n2/n1

1.66/1.11= 1.495

Theta = 56°

Describe the main reason why the scientific community did not accept Alfred wegener idea of continental drift?
lara31 [8.8K]
<span>I think they were also too skeptic to believe the continent did move or pull apart, even today do you believe that the continents broke from one big flat plate, and that they pulled apart? They also wonder what large force would be responsible for the movement.

It was much later that evidences from plant and animal features that had similarity from two different planets came up that scientists began accepting the idea of continental drift.
And similar rock strata from two different opposite continents, showed similar rock strata.
All these evidences came up much later after Alfred Wengener.

So Alfred Wengener was honored Posthumously</span>
