How are dams made do they just freeze time?

Physics

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.

In Newton's third law, the action and reaction forces D.)act on different objects

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that:

<em>"When an object A exerts a force on object B (action force), then action B exerts an equal and  opposite force (reaction force) on object A"</em>

It is important to note from the statement above that the action force and the reaction force always act on different objects. Let's take an example: a man pushing a box. We have:

  • Action force: the force applied by the man on the box, forward
  • Reaction force: the force applied by the box on the man, backward

As we can see from this example, the action force is applied on the box, while the reaction force is applied on the man: this means that the two forces do not act on the same object. This implies that whenever we draw the free-body diagram of the forces acting on an object, the action and reaction forces never appear in the same diagram, since they act on different objects.

The Southwest Indian Ridge, shown in red, moves at an average rate of 20 mm/year, making it among the ultraslow spreading ridges
blagie [28]

v = average speed of movement of the Southwest Indian Ridge = 20 mm/year

d = distance moved by the Southwest Indian Ridge = 100 mm

t = number of years required to move distance "d"

distance traveled is given as

d = v t

inserting the above values in the formula

100 mm = (20 mm/year) t

dividing both side by 20 mm/year

t = 100 mm/(20 mm/year)

t = 5 years

The pump in a water tower raises water with a density of rhow = 1.00 kg/liter from a filtered pool at the base of the tower up h
oee [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of the water being lifted per second

m = volume x density

= 6.2 x 1 = 6.2 kg

height by which water being lifted

h = 75 - 21

= 54 m

increase in potential energy of water per second

mgh

6.2 x 9.8 x 54

= 3281.04 J /s

= 3281.04 W.
