Suppose you were digging a well into saturated sediments. Why is the sediment’s permeability an important factor in deciding whe

zloy xaker [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The importance of the sediments permeability is that if it is permeable, water will flow easily through the sediment and thereby produce a very good supply of water for the well.

Explanation:

When digging a well into saturated sediments, the possibility of the sediment with either little saturation or full saturation being able to provide steady water supply will be limited by how permeable it is. Now, the importance of the sediments permeability is that if it is permeable, water will flow easily through the sediment and thereby produce a very good supply of water for the well.

Which type of comb would be best to use in the winter, a plastic comb or a glass comb? Explain using the Triboelectric series.
leonid [27]

Answer:

I'm not sure how to use it using the Series, but it would be the plastic comb

Explanation:

In the winter, it's likely to be cold and the glass would absorb that energy, also making it cold. in order to be able to hold it, you would need something warm, thus making the plastic one the better option as it is less likely to absorb the cold energy

How far will a free falling object fall in 8.7 secs if it started from rest? Remember acceleration is negative for free fall. Do
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

h~=371.26m

Explanation:

when an object falls we use the equations of accelerated motion. There is only one that gives distance.

x = ut +  \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}

Since we have no initial velocity (started from rest) we can get rid of the (ut) term

where a we substitute g (gravitational acceleration, constant for given heights and almost 9.81m/s^2).

h =  \frac{1}{2} g {t}^{2}  =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 9.81 \times  {8.7}^{2}  = 371.26m

What is the Mirror equation? What does it look like?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

1/f = 1/D' + 1/D

The magnification equation relates the ratio of the image distance and object distance to the ratio of the image height (h^i) and object height (h^o). The magnification equation is stated as follows:

M= H^i/H^o = D^i/D^o

A ray diagram is shown.
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

It is virtual and behind the mirror

Explanation:

When an image is produced by a mirror, we have the following situations:

- The image is said to be in front of the mirror if it is on the same side of the object, with respect to the mirror

- The image is said to be behind of the mirror if it is on the opposite side of the object, with respect to the mirror

Moreover:

- The image is said to be real if it is in front of the mirror

- The image is said to be virtual if it is behind the mirror

In this case, the image (located at point I) is on the opposite side of the object (located at point O), so it is virtual and behind the mirror.
