Answer:
b. The pirating streams are eroding headwardly to intersect more of the other streams’ drainage basins, causing water to be diverted down their steeper gradients.
Explanation:
From the Kaaterskill NY 15 minute map (1906), this shows two classic examples of stream capture.
The Kaaterskill Creek flow down the east relatively steep slopes into the Hudson River Valley. While, the Gooseberry Creek is a low gradient stream flowing down the west direction which in turn drains the higher parts of the Catskills in this area.
However, there is Headward erosion of Kaaterskill Creek which resulted to the capture of part of the headwaters of Gooseberry Creek.
The evidence for this is the presence of "barbed" (enters at obtuse rather than acute angle) tributary which enters Kaaterskill Creek from South Lake which was once a part of the Gooseberry Creek drainage system.
It should be noted again, that there is drainage divide between the Gooseberry and Kaaterskill drainage systems (just to the left of the word Twilight) which is located in the center of the valley.
As it progresses, this divide will then move westward as Kaaterskill captures more and more of the Gooseberry system.
Answer:
W = 2695.14 lb
Explanation:
given,
side of cube = 3 ft
density of the cube = 3.1 slugs/ft³
we know,
mass = density x volume
volume = 3³ = 27 ft³
mass = 3.1 x 27
m = 83.7 slugs.
weight calculation
converting mass from slug to pound
weight of 1 slug is equal to 32.2 lb
now,
weight of the cube is equal to
W = 83.7 slugs x 32.2 lb/slug
W = 2695.14 lb
hence, weight is equal to W = 2695.14 lb
Answer:
7.8 Mph
Explanation:
Rate of cycling = 1.1 rev/s
Rear wheel diameter = 26 inches
Diameter of sprocket on pedal = 6 inches
Diameter of sprocket on rear wheel = 4 inches
Circumference of rear wheel = \pi d=26\piπd=26π
Speed would be
\begin{gathered}\text{Rate of cycling}\times \frac{\text{Diameter of sprocket on pedal}}{\text{Diameter of sprocket on rear wheel}}\times{\text{Circumference of rear wheel}}\\ =1.1\times \frac{6}{4}\times 26\pi\\ =134.77432\ inches/s\end{gathered}Rate of cycling×Diameter of sprocket on rear wheelDiameter of sprocket on pedal×Circumference of rear wheel=1.1×46×26π=134.77432 inches/s
Converting to mph
1\ inch/s=\frac{1}{63360}\times 3600\ mph1 inch/s=633601×3600 mph
134.77432\ inches/s=134.77432\times \frac{1}{63360}\times 3600\ mph=7.65763\ mph134.77432 inches/s=134.77432×633601×3600 mph=7.65763 mph
The Speed of the bicycle is 7.8 mph
