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]3 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

A rod (length = 2.0 m) is uniformly charged and has a total charge of 5.0 nC. What is the electric potential (relative to zero a
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The electric potential is  V  =  15.6 V

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The length  of the rod is  L =  2.0 \ m

     The total charge of the rod is  q =5.0 nC = 5.0*10^{-9} C

      The length from the center is  d =  3.0 \ m

The diagram illustrating the setup for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

From the diagram the potential at point  A  dl is mathematically represented as

         dV  =  K  \frac{dq}{l}

Where K is the coulomb constant with a value  K  = 9*10^9 \   Nm^2 /C^2

where q is the charge in charge  the rod relative to its distance from A  is mathematically represented as

         dq =  \frac{q}{L}  dl

This a small unit length of the rod

So         V = \frac{q}{L}  \int\limits^4_2  {\frac{dl}{l} } \,

        =>   V =  k\frac{q}{L}  ln [\frac{4}{2} ]

              V =  k\frac{q}{L}  ln2

Substituting values

                V  =  9* 10^9  *  \frac{5*10^{-9}}{2} * ln 2

                 V  =  15.6 V

Assume that the mass has been moving along its circular path for some time. You start timing its motion with a stopwatch when it
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

v = R\omega(-sin\omega t \hat i + cos\omega t \hat j)

Explanation:

As we know that the mass is revolving with constant angular speed in the circle of radius R

So we will have

\theta = \omega t

now the position vector at a given time is

r = Rcos\theta \hat i + R sin\theta \hat j

now the linear velocity is given as

v = \frac{dr}{dt}

v = (-R sin\theta \hat i + R cos\theta \hat j)\frac{d\theta}{dt}

v = R\omega(-sin\omega t \hat i + cos\omega t \hat j)

A wheel in the shape of a flat, heavy, uniform, solid disk is initially at rest at the top of an inclined plane of height 2.00 m
olasank [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

If friction is neglected, the wheel cannot roll and can only slide frictionlessly and will have the same velocity at the bottom of the ramp as if it had been in free fall as it has converted the same amount of potential energy.

mgh = ½mv²

v = √(2gh) = √(2(9.81)(2.00)) = 6.26418... = 6.26 m/s

However if we do not ignore all friction and the wheel rolls without slipping down the slope, the potential energy becomes linear and rotational kinetic energy

mgh = ½mv² + ½Iω²

mgh = ½mv² + ½(½mR²)(v/R)²

2gh = v² + ½v²

2gh = 3v²/2

v = √(4gh/3) =√(4(9.81)(2.00)/3) = 5.11468... = 5.11 m/s

Calculate the change in internal energy of the following system: A balloon is cooled by removing 0.659 kJ of heat. It shrinks on
bixtya [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

-310J

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The change in internal energy (ΔE) of a system is the sum of the heat (Q) and work (W) done on or by the system. i.e

ΔE = Q + W       ----------------------(i)

If heat is released by the system, Q is negative. Else it is positive.

If work is done on the system, W is positive. Else it is negative.

<em>In this case, the system is the balloon and;</em>

Q = -0.659kJ = -695J    [Q is negative because heat is removed from the system(balloon)]

W = +385J  [W is positive because work is done on the system (balloon)]

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

ΔE = -695 + 385

ΔE = -310J

Therefore, the change in internal energy is -310J

<em>PS: The negative value indicates that the system(balloon) has lost energy to its surrounding, thereby making the process exothermic.</em>
