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 toy rocket is launched straight up by using a spring. The rocket is initially pressed down on the spring so that the spring is

Delvig [45]

Answer:

B.6.86 m

Explanation:

Given that

Compression in spring ,x= 9 cm

Spring constant ,K= 830 N/m

Mass of the rocket ,m= 50 g = 0.05 kg ( 1 kg = 1000 g)

Now by applying energy conservation

$\dfrac{1}{2}Kx^2=mgh$

$h=\dfrac{1}{2\times mg}kx^2$

Now by putting the values ( we are taking g= 9.81 m/s²)

$h=\dfrac{1}{2\times 9.81\times 0.05}\times 830\times 0.09^2$

h= 6.853 m

Therefore the answer is B.

B.6.86 m

AM signals travel as changes in?

gtnhenbr [62]

It definitely changes in frequency. For example if the frequency is medium the signals change after the sunset and it changes in the ionosphere cause medium frequency travels in the skywave.
