At high elevations or high latitudes, some of the water that falls on land does not immediately soak in , run off, evaporate or

transpire. where is the water being temporarily stored?

LUCKY_DIMON [66]2 years ago

Answer:

The water is stored in ice sheets and as snow

Explanation:

Temperature reduces with an increase in altitudes. The standard laps rate is 6.5°C per 1,000 m gained in elevation

At very high elevations, therefore,  the air is usually very cold such that when an elevation of 4,500 meters is reached at the equator, it is possible to observe snowfall and the water remain temporarily stored on the surface of the mountain as ice and snow

posledela

Answer:

180.4 m

Explanation:

The package in relation to the point where it was released falls a certain distance that is calculated by applying the horizontal motion formulas , as the horizontal speed of the plane and the height above the ground are known, the time that It takes the package to reach its destination and then the horizontal distance (x) is calculated from where it was dropped, as follows:    

$V_{ox}=v_x = 40 \ m/s$

   h = 100 m  

    x =?

     Height formula h:

     $h=g \times \frac{t^2}{2}$

      Time t is cleared:

     $t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

      $t = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 100}{9.8}}$

      t = 4.51 sec

 Horizontal distance formula x:

       $x=V_x \times t$

        x = 40 m / sec x 4.51 sec

        x = 180.4 m

comparing the blank of an object with that of a liquid will tell you where or not the objects will float in that liquid
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer: Density

Explanation: Recall Archimedes Principle. There are two forces acting an object submerged in a liquid: the force of gravity and the  (opposite directed) force of buoyancy. The buoyancy is proportional to the mass of the liquid displaced by the submerged part of the object.

Density is the ratio of mass to volume. Therefore if the density of the submerged object is higher than that of the displaced liquid, the net force will point in the direction of the gravity (object will sink). In the opposite case, the net force will point in the direction of the buoyant force (upward) and the object will float.

What major body of water did the new states of kentucky and tennessee
chubhunter [2.5K]

The major water body given access to the new states of Kentucky and tennessee was the Mississippi river.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Mississippi river serves to be the <em>second ranked</em> longest river located in the North America. the access was given to United States by the Kentucky state and Tennessee state.

The access granted was requested in order to serve the purpose of<em> trade</em> across. The Mississippi river have been often remarked as the super highway to the sea. <em>Irrigation of crops with the transportation aid along with the food availability</em>, all calls for the grant access to the major water body.

Objects 1 and 2 attract each other with a gravitational force of 179 units. If the distance separating objects 1 and 2 is change
yaroslaw [1]

Explanation:

Fgravity = G*(mass1*mass2)/D²

G is the gravitational constant throughout the universe.

D is the distance between the 2 objects.

the distance is now quadrupled.

Fgravitynew = G*(mass1*mass2)/(4D)² =

= G*(mass1*mass2)/(16D²) =

= (G*(mass1*mass2)/D²) / 16 = Fgravity/16

the new gravitational force will be 179/16 = 11.1875 units
