Answer:
1.7% is stored in the polar icecaps, glaciers, and permanent snow
Explanation:
70% of the Earth's surface is covered with water; However, only a small percentage, 0.025%, is suitable for human consumption. A limited resource whose demand, according to the forecasts of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), will skyrocket up to 55% globally between 2000 and 2050.
In the attached infographic we observe that the total volume of water on Earth is 1,386 million cubic kilometers, of which<em> </em><u>1.7% is forming polar ice, cap glaciers and permanent snow</u>. 1,338 million cubic kilometers of that water is in seas and oceans, that is, 96.5% is in seas and oceans, that is, it is salt water that cannot be drunk.
Only 3.5% of the Earth's water is fresh, but of this percentage, only 1% of the Earth's fresh water flows through the river basins in the form of streams and rivers.
Answer:
The maximum speed of sonic at the bottom of the hill is equal to 19.85m/s and the spring constant of the spring is equal to (497.4xmass of sonic) N/m
Energy approach has been used to sole the problem.
The points of interest for the analysis of the problem are point 1 the top of the hill and point 2 the bottom of the hill just before hitting the spring
The maximum velocity of sonic is independent of the his mass or the geometry. It is only depends on the vertical distance involved
Explanation:
The step by step solution to the problem can be found in the attachment below. The principle of energy conservation has been applied to solve the problem. This means that if energy disappears in one form it will appear in another.
As in this problem, the potential and kinetic energy at the top of the hill were converted to only kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill. This kinetic energy too got converted into elastic potential energy .
x = compression of the spring = 0.89
Answer:
1.045 m from 120 kg
Explanation:
m1 = 120 kg
m2 = 420 kg
m = 51 kg
d = 3 m
Let m is placed at a distance y from 120 kg so that the net force on 51 kg is zero.
By use of the gravitational force
Force on m due to m1 is equal to the force on m due to m2.



3 - y = 1.87 y
3 = 2.87 y
y = 1.045 m
Thus, the net force on 51 kg is zero if it is placed at a distance of 1.045 m from 120 kg.
Mass over volume is the answer
