Answer:

by preventing flooding, creating reservoirs, and providing water for irrigation

Dams and waterways store and provide water for irrigation so farmers can use the water for growing crops. This idea goes way back into history. Irrigation is an important part of using water. In areas where water and rain are not abundant (like the desert), irrigation canals from rivers and dams are used to carry water.

Dams help in preventing floods. They catch extra water so that it doesn’t run wild downstream. Dam operators can let water out through the dam when needed.

A 17-car train standing on the siding is started in motion by the train’s engine. 9 cm slack is between each of the cars, which

Answer:

4 seconds

Explanation:

There are links between cars, they are in between

1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6, 6-7, 7-8, 8-9, 9-10, 10-11, 11-12, 12-13, 13-14, 14-15, 15-16, 16-17.

Here 1 represents the first car which is firmly attached to the engine. So, there are 16 links and each link has a slack of 9 m.

So, total slack

9×16 = 144 cm

Speed of train = 36 cm/s

$\text{Time taken by the pulse}=\frac{Length}{speed}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time taken by the pulse}=\frac{144}{36}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time taken by the pulse}=4\ s$
