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.

An object of mass m = 5.0 kg hangs from a cord around a light pulley: The length of the cord between the oscillator and the pull

puteri [66]

Answer:

$\mu=0.0049Kg/m$

Explanation:

When a standing wave is formed with six loops means the normal mode of the wave is n=6, the frequency of the normal mode is given by the expression:

$f_n=\frac{nv}{2L}$

Where $L$ is the length of the string and $v$ the velocity of propagation. Use this expression to find the value of $v$ .

$f_6=\frac{6v}{2L}\\(150)=\frac{6v}{2(2)} \\150=\frac{3v}{2} \\3v=150(2)\\ v=\frac{300}{3} \\v=100m/s$

The velocity of propagation is given by the expression:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }$

Where $\mu$ is the desirable variable of the problem, the linear mass density, and $T$ is the tension of the cord. The tension is equal to the weight of the mass hanging from the cord:

$T=W=mg=(5)(9.81)=49.05N$

With the value of the tension and the velocity you can find the mass density:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}$

$v^2=\frac{T}{\mu}\\ \mu=\frac{T}{v^2} =\frac{49.05}{(100)^2} =\frac{49.05}{10000} =0.0049Kg/m$

Answer:

If there are equal forces in both directions and there is no motion, the net force is 0 Newtons. This is because you'd be subtracting 100 from 100 which just equals 0.

What do scientists use to determine the temperature of a star?

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Measure the brightness of a star through two filters and compare the ratio of red to blue light. Compare to the spectra of computer models of stellar spectra of different temperature and develop an accurate color-temperature relation.
