Answer:

FLASH FLOODS CAN CAUSE VEHICLES TO FLOAT AND FILL WITH WATER, TRAPPING AND DROWNING PEOPLE. WHILE ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT AND IN DEEP WATER, EVEN ____ INCHES OF WATER CAN FLOAT SOME SMALL CARS.

The Answer is SIX Inches.

Explanation:

Flash floods: are short-term events and are associated with short, high-intensity rainfall which occur when creeks that are normally dry fill up and other creeks overflow. Densely populated areas have a high risk of flash floods. Water levels in flash floods can rise one foot in five minutes making Six inches of water able to reach the bottom of most passenger cars. Moving water will exert pressure on a car. The car floats downstream when stream force exceeds the friction force, the car will be carried when bouyancy force (which is the upward force exerted by any fluid upon a body placed in it) is greater than vehicle weight.

What is friction and explain
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Friction is the force you get when you (for example) Rub something with another, it's a force that may generate heat and even some resistance. Another example is rubbing your hands together, they get hot, therefore friction is working, without friction you wouldn't be able to stop moving.

<span>The answer is C. temperature, light level, species of bacteria. All three variables are considerations regarding the reproduction rate of the bacteria. The other three answer choices can be eliminated easily because they each contain at least one irrelevant variable. In particular, all three contain a variable that makes reference to Jack's personal characteristics. These do not have any impact on the experiment and readily stand out to disqualify the entire answer choice.</span>

Two resistors, R1 and R2, are
dlinn [17]

The reciprocal of the total resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the component resistances:

1/(120.7 Ω) = 1/<em>R₁</em> + 1/(221.0 Ω)

1/<em>R₁</em> = 1/(120.7 Ω) - 1/(221.0 Ω)

<em>R₁</em> = 1 / (1/(120.7 Ω) - 1/(221.0 Ω)) ≈ 265.9 Ω

g The speed of light in a vacuum is larger for short wavelength electromagnetic waves. larger for high frequency electromagnetic
Orlov [11]

Answer:

A constant value everywhere in the universe.

Explanation:

The speed of light in a vacuum is a constant value. It is not affected by change in frequency or wavelength of the light.

Mathematically the speed of light is given as:

c = λf

where λ = wavelength and f - frequency

The speed of light is the constant of proportionality between frequency and wavelength. In order words, wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. As the wavelength increases, frequency decreases and vice versa.

While the change in wavelength and frequency of light affect the energy of the light, its speed is a constant value as long as the medium is a vacuum.

The speed of light is also not dependent on the manner with which the light wave is moving.
