Answer:

107,768 ft³/hr

Explanation:

Given that :

FIELD A:

Runoff Coefficient (C1) = 0.55

Field size (s1) = 3 acre

FIELD B:

Runoff Coefficient (C2) = 0.75

Field size (s2) = 5 acre

Rainfall intensity (I) = 5.5 in/hr

We need to convert ;

Field size to ft²

1 acre = 43560 ft²

s1 = 3 acre = 43560 * 3 = 130,680 ft²

s2 = 5 acre = 43560 * 5 = 217,800 ft²

Rainfall intensity to ft/hr

1 inch = 0.0833 ft

5.5 in/ hr = (0.0833 * 5.5) ft/hr = 0.45815 ft/hr

Peak flow :

(C1 * s1 * I) + (C2 * s2 * I)

(0.55 * 130680 * 0.45815) + (0.75 * 217800 * 0.45815)

32929.0731 + 74838.8025

= 107767.8756 ft³/hr

Discuss the issue of the sea level that is rising due to the increase of polar ice melting ( incorporate various populations of
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

As discussed below.

Explanation:

  • The melting of the sea ice and rise in global temperature are having a profound impact on the distribution of land and water ration of the earth as much of the land is concentrated in the northern hemispheres and the rest of the areas are oceanic waters.
  • The presence of warm global temperature in the seas and continue expansion of the bottoms are thus spading this effect as a rise in 1 to 3 degrees caused a severe rise in the oceanic basins and this cause more salinity in the rivers and an increase in the global cooling staking over the oceans.
  • The population of freshwater and marine water is badly affected many species of corals have already died and a catastrophic bleaching has occurred on the western coast of Australia. Thus it poses a severe threat to the marine biology and ecology of the pant is due impacted by this.
  • More and more species are getting extinct and habits are getting lost and the planet is getting more heated and drastic release of temperature is causing more in tectonic movement in the polar areas.

How is the system formed​
Dimas [21]
Formation. Our solar system formed about 4.5 billion years ago from a dense cloud of interstellar gas and dust. The cloud collapsed, possibly due to the shockwave of a nearby exploding star, called a supernova. When this dust cloud collapsed, it formed a solar nebula—a spinning, swirling disk of material. Approximately 4.6 billion years ago, the solar system was a cloud of dust and gas known as a solar nebula. Gravity collapsed the material in on itself as it began to spin, forming the sun in the center of the nebula. With the rise of the sun, the remaining material began to clump together. Part of Hall of the Universe. The Sun and the planets formed together, 4.6 billion years ago, from a cloud of gas and dust called the solar nebula. A shock wave from a nearby supernova explosion probably initiated the collapse of the solar nebula. ... In a similar manner, moons formed orbiting the gas giant planets. Hope this helps!

It ha a Specific Gravity of 1 at room Temperature.

It freezes at (0) zero, degree Celsius.

It boils at 100 degrees Celsius.

Chemical Properties:

It is the BEST solvent of all solvents.

When decomposes, it gives two atoms of Hydrogen (H2) and one atom of Oxygen (O).

It is an excellent diluent for all acids.

It reacts vigorously with Sulphuric Acid(H2SO4) producing HEAT. Acid should be added to Water, Not the other way round.

Water is an essential Nutrient to Humans, Animals and Plants.
