How can groundwater flow, elevation can transport contaminates

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: it's under explanation

Explanation:Groundwater contamination occurs when man-made products such as gasoline, oil, road salts and chemicals get into the groundwater and cause it to become unsafe and unfit for human use. Materials from the land's surface can move through the soil and end up in the groundwater.

In a mattress test, you drop a 7.0 kg bowling ball from a height of 1.5 m above a mattress, which as a result compresses 15 cm a

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

(d) 113.19 J

(e) 113.19 J

(f) 10061 N/m

Explanation:

15 cm = 0.15 m

Let g = 9.8 m/s2

$E_p = mgx = 7*9.8*0.15 = 10.29 J$

(d) By using law of energy conservation with potential energy reference being 0 at the maximum compression point. As the ball falls and come to a stop at the compression point, its potential energy is transferred to elastic energy, which is the work that the mattress does on the ball:

$E_p = E_e$

$E_e = mgh$

where h = 1.5 + 0.15 = 1.65 m is the vertical distance that it falls.

$E_e = 7*9.8*1.65 = 113.19 J$

(e) Before the compression, the potential energy of the mattress is 0. After the compression, the potential energy is 113.19J. So it has increased by 113.19J due to the potential energy transferred from the falling ball.

(f) $E_e = 113.19 = kx^2/2$
