Umm I think that it's called a run off! Because it's running off of a surface into water.

Answer:

Precipitation, runoff and percolation

Explanation:

The water cycle refers to the movement of water from one place to another by undergoing certain processes such as evaporation, transpiration, condensation. This plays an important role in maintaining the total amount of water on earth.

From the figure, it can be concluded that the process of precipitation, runoff and percolation are the three stages in which the water moves downward due to the influence of gravity.

The precipitation occurs in the form of snowfall, rainfall, and so on. This allows the water to fall freely because of gravity.

The surface water runoff also occurs under the influence of gravity, that rapidly falls downward along the slope of the area and gets mixed up with the rivers, streams and lakes.

Lastly, during the water cycle process, some of the water gets percolate downward through the voids present within the rocks. Here the water moves because of the effect of gravity but at a much slower rate. This water then slowly adds to the groundwater.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

a). $K=528.92 \frac{N}{m}$

b). $m=4.84kg$

Explanation:

a).

The work of the spring is find by the formula:

$w_s =\frac{1}{2}*k*x^2$

So knowing the work can find the constant K'

$3.2J =\frac{1}{2}*k*(0.11m)^2$

Solve for K'

$K=\frac{2*W_s}{x^2}=\frac{2*3.2J}{0.11m^2}$

$K=528.92 \frac{N}{m}$

b).

The force of the spring realice a motion so using the force and knowing the accelerations can find the mass

$F=m*a$

$m=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{K*x}{a}$

$m=\frac{528.9*0.11m}{12m/s^2}$

$m=4.84kg$

MamaMia's Pizza purchases its pizza delivery boxes from a printing supplier. MamaMia's delivers on-average 200 pizzas each month

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

a) 138 units

b) 17 units

c) 17 units

d) Total Cost = $353.35

Explanation:

Given:

Average pizzas delivered = 200

Charge of inventory holding = 30% of cost

Lead time = 7 days

Now,

a) Economic Order Quantity = $\sqrt\frac{2\times\textup{Annual Demand}\times\textup{Cost per Order}}{\textup{Carrying cost}}$

also,

Annual Demand = 200 × 12 = 2400

Cost per Order = Cost of Box + Processing Costs

= 30 cents + $10

= $10.30

and, Carrying Cost = $\frac{\textup{Total Inventory Cost}}{\textup{total annual demand}}$

= $\frac{\textup{Total Cost per order}\times\textup{Annual demand}\times\frac{25}{100}}{\textup{Annual demand}}$

= $\frac{\$10.30\times2400}\times\frac{25}{100}}{2400}$

= $2.575

Therefore,

Economic Order Quantity = $\sqrt\frac{2\times\textup{2400}\times\textup{10.30}}{\textup{2.575}}$

= 138.56 ≈ 138 units

b) Reorder Point

= (average daily unit sales × the lead time in days) + safety stock

= ( $\frac{200}{30}\times7$

= 46.67 ≈ 47 units

c) Number of orders per year = $\frac{\textup{Annual Demand}}{\textup{Economic order quantity}}$

= $\frac{\textup{2400}}{\textup{138}}$

= 17.39 ≈ 17 units

d) Total Annual Cost (Total Inventory Cost)

= Ordering Cost + Holding Cost

Now,

The ordering Cost = Cost per Order × Total Number of orders per year

= $10.30 × 17

= $175.1

and,

Holding Cost = Average Inventory Held × Carrying Cost per unit

Average Inventory Held = $\frac{\textup{0+138}}{\textup{2}}$ = 69

Carrying Cost per unit = $2.575

Holding Cost = 69 × $2.575 =

$177.675

Therefore,

Total Cost = Ordering Cost + carrying cost

= $175.1 + $177.675 = $353.35

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 60 m building and lands 100 m from the base of the building. How long is the bal

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The ball is in the air for 3.5 seconds

The initial horizontal component of velocity is 28.6 m/s

The vertical component of the final velocity is 34.3 m/s downward

The final velocity is 44.7 m/s in the direction 50.2° below the horizontal

Explanation:

A ball is thrown horizontally

That means the vertical component of the initial velocity $u_{y}=0$

The initial velocity is the horizontal component $u_{x}$

The ball is thrown from the top of a 60 m

That means the vertical displacement component y = 60 m

→ y = $u_{y}$ t + $\frac{1}{2}$ gt²

where g is the acceleration of gravity and t is the time

y = -60 m , g = -9.8 m/s² , $u_{y}=0$

Substitute these values in the rule

→ -60 = 0 + $\frac{1}{2}$ (-9.8)t²

→ -60 = -4.9t²

Divide both sides by -4.9

→ 12.2449 = t²

Take √ for both sides

∴ t = 3.5 seconds

* The ball is in the air for 3.5 seconds 

The initial velocity is the horizontal component $u_{x}$

The ball lands 100 meter from the base of the building

That means the horizontal displacement x = 100 m

→ x = $u_{x}$ t

→ t = 3.5 s , x = 100 m

Substitute these values in the rule

→ 100 = $u_{x}$ (3.5)

Divide both sides by 3.5

→ $u_{x}$ = 28.57 m/s

The initial horizontal component of velocity is 28.6 m/s

The vertical component of the final velocity is $v_{y}$

→ $v_{y}$ = $u_{y}$ + gt

→ $u_{y}$ = 0 , g = -9.8 m/s² , t = 3.5 s

Substitute these values in the rule

→ $v_{y}$ = 0 + (-9.8)(3.5)

→ $v_{y}$ = -34.3 m/s

The vertical component of the final velocity is 34.3 m/s downward

The final velocity v is the resultant vector of $v_{x}$ and $v_{y}$

→ Its magnetude is $v=\sqrt{(v_{x})^{2}+(v_{y})^{2}}$

→ Its direction $tan^{-1}\frac{v_{y}}{v_{x}}$

→ $v_{y}$ = 28.6 , $v_{y}$ = -34.3

Substitute this values in the rules above

→ $v=\sqrt{(28.6)^{2}+(-34.3)^{2}}=44.66$

→ Its direction $tan^{-1}\frac{-34.3}{28.6}=-50.18$

The negative sign means the direction is below the horizontal

The final velocity is 44.7 m/s in the direction 50.2° below the horizontal

Estimate the monthly cost of using a 700 W refrigerator that runs for 10 hours a day if the cost per kilowatt hours is cents $.2

Mrac [35]

Answer:

$4.2

Explanation:

Given data

Power= 700W

time= 10 hours

Cost per kilowatt hours is cents $0.20

Let us find the number of hours in a month

=24*30

=720 hours

Energ= power*time

Energy= 700/1000*30

Energy= 7*3

Enery= 21 kwh

1 kwh= 0.2

21kwh= x

cross multiply

x=21*0.2

x= $4.2

The frictional force is 39.4 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying Newton's 2nd law of motion: in fact, the net force acting on the block is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration. So we can write
