Answer:

C

Explanation:

Although this may seem surprising, water beneath the ground is commonplace. Usually groundwater travels slowly and silently beneath the surface, but in some locations it bubbles to the surface at springs. The products of erosion and deposition by groundwater were described in the Erosion and Deposition chapter.

Groundwater is the largest reservoir of liquid fresh water on Earth and is found in aquifers, porous rock and sediment with water in between. Water is attracted to the soil particles and capillary action, which describes how water moves through a porous media, moves water from wet soil to dry areas.

Aquifers are found at different depths. Some are just below the surface and some are found much deeper below the land surface. A region may have more than one aquifer beneath it and even most deserts are above aquifers. The source region for an aquifer beneath a desert is likely to be far from where the aquifer is located; for example, it may be in a mountain area.

The amount of water that is available to enter groundwater in a region is influenced by the local climate, the slope of the land, the type of rock found at the surface, the vegetation cover, land use in the area, and water retention, which is the amount of water that remains in the ground. More water goes into the ground where there is a lot of rain, flat land, porous rock, exposed soil, and where water is not already filling the soil and rock.

The residence time of water in a groundwater aquifer can be from minutes to thousands of years. Groundwater is often called “fossil water” because it has remained in the ground for so long, often since the end of the ice ages.

A swimmer, capable of swimming at a speed of 1.0 m/s in still water (i.e., the swimmer can swim with a speed of 1.0 m/s relative
Vesnalui [34]
If the current takes him downstream we must find the resultant vector of the velocities: V res= \sqrt{1^{2}+0.91^{2}  } = \sqrt{1.8281}= 1.3520747 Then if the river is 3000 m-wide the swimmer will have to pass:
 1.3520747 · 300 = 4056.14 m                t = 4056.14 m : 1 m/s
a ) It takes 4056.15 seconds ( 1 hour 7 minutes and 36 seconds ) to cross the river.  
b ) 0.91 · 3000 = 2730 m
He will be 2730 m downstream.

which instrument is best suited for measuring the dimensions of a shoebox? a)a triple-beam balance b)a volumetric flask c)a rule
Aloiza [94]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The instrument that is <span>best suited for measuring the dimensions of a shoebox would be a ruler. A triple-beam balance is for measuring mass. A volumetric flask is for volume. A caliper is measuring lengths of small objects.</span>

if two point charges are separated by 1.5 cm and have charge values of 2.0 and -4.0, respectively, what is the value of the mutu
RUDIKE [14]

Complete question:

if two point charges are separated by 1.5 cm and have charge values of +2.0 and -4.0 μC, respectively, what is the value of the mutual force between them.

Answer:

The mutual force between the two point charges is 319.64 N

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the two point charges, r = 1.5 cm = 1.5 x 10⁻² m

value of the charges, q₁ and q₂ = 2 μC and - μ4 C

Apply Coulomb's law;

F = \frac{k|q_1||q_2|}{r^2}

where;

F is the force of attraction between the two charges

|q₁| and |q₂| are the magnitude of the two charges

r is the distance between the two charges

k is Coulomb's constant = 8.99 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

F = \frac{k|q_1||q_2|}{r^2} \\\\F = \frac{8.99*10^9 *4*10^{-6}*2*10^{-6}}{(1.5*10^{-2})^2} \\\\F = 319.64 \ N

Therefore, the mutual force between the two point charges is 319.64 N

an object is thrown into the air with an initial velocity of 12 meters per seconds from a platform that is raised 4 meters above
butalik [34]

Answer:

1.52 seconds

Explanation:

Step 1: identity the given parameters

Initial velocity (u) = 12m/s

Height above ground (h1) = 4m

Final velocity (V) = 0

Step 2: calculate the height travelled by the object from 4m height (h2).

V^2 = U^2 -2gh

0= 12^2-2(9.8*h)

2(9.8*h) = 12^2

19.6*h = 144

h = 144/19.6

h = 7.347 m

Total height above ground (ht) = 4m +7.347m = 11.347m

Step 3: calculate the time reach ground

T = √(2h/g)

T = √(2*11.347/9.8)

T= √(22.694/9.8)

T= √2.316

T= 1.52 seconds
