Answer:

Gravity dams are so named because they are held to the ground by gravity – they weigh a lot, and are typically made from concrete or stone. Engineers must de-water the river where the dam is meant to be built. This is done by diverting the river through a tunnel that runs around the intended construction zone.

Answer:First, they dug tunnels from below the dam to above the dam. Then, they put the cofferdam in place, and opened the tunnels. The water flowed around the site where the permanent dam would be built until they were done, at which point the cofferdam was removed.

A satellite dish is in the shape of a parabolic surface. Signals coming from a satellite strike the surface of the dish and are

RSB [31]

Answer: 6.125 ft

Explanation:

If this dish has the form of a concave upward parabola and its vertex $p$ is at the origin, its corresponding equation is:

$x^{2}=4py$

Where:

$x$ is the radius, which can be found by dividing the diameter $d=14 ft$ by half. Hence $x=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{14 ft}{2}=7 ft$

$y=2 ft$ is the depth

$p$ is the vertex of the parabola, where its base is

Finding $p$ :

$p=\frac{x^{2}}{4y}$

$p=\frac{(7 ft)^{2}}{4(2 ft)}$

Finally:

$p=6.125 ft$ This is where the the receiver should be placed

At t = 0, object A is dropped from the roof of a building. At the same instant, object B is dropped from a window 10 m below the

dsp73

Answer:

Explanation:

Given two objects are dropped simultaneously

Object A is 10 m higher than object B therefore

Distance covered by object A is given by

$y_a(t)$ is given by

$y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where y=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

$y_a(t)=0+0.5gt^2--1$

for object B

$y_b(t)=0+0.5gt^2--2$

Subtract 1 and 2 we get

$y_a(t)-y_b(t)=0$

i.e. they will travel equal distance in equal time and distance between them remain 10 m until object B hits the ground

Does research lessen its value for its being cyclical? Enumerate Two Possible advantages of a cyclical research

Tanya [424]

Answer:

Research usually is a cyclical process because it starts with a problem and ends with a problem.

This is bad or lessens the value of the research?

No, because there are problems that in nature are cyclical, (for example the related ones to action research).

And it also may be a good thing, solving one "problem" leads to another problem, but in the process of solving the first one we may win a lot of knowledge, and the same happens with the next one, and so on.

Two possible advantages of cyclical research are:

Knowing beforehand that the research will be cyclical, will allow us to estimate better the amount of time and money needed because we already know (more or less) where to aim.

It also may lead to a better end product, as we already know that we must focus in solving one thing and then we can focus in the next one.

Another possible advantage may be that we know that after the work, there will be a new thing to research, and it is fun, so if you are curious enough this may be a good thing (especially in scientific areas, physics, chemistry, etc).
