A team at a university in Pennsylvania has concerns about the health of streams in a watershed because of the various land uses

in the area. There has been an increase in road repair work, and the area has many dairy farms. Which of the following would be most effective at preventing sediment runoff into the streams of the watershed? *
a) Have construction crews steepen the slopes of the valleys of streams near roadwork zones.
b) Maintain zones of grass at least wide on the sides of streams in the area.
c) Construct at least one dam on a stream in the watershed to improve flood control.
d) Shift from dairy farming to corn planted in agricultural fields located within of streams.

ki77a [65]

Answer:

The correct answers are

The following statements are true about an object in two-dimensional projectile motion with no air resistance

D) The speed of the object is zero at its highest point.

E) The horizontal acceleration is always zero and the vertical acceleration is always a non-zero constant downward

Explanation:

A) The speed of the object is constant but its velocity is not constant.

False the vertical velocity increases on descent

B) The acceleration of the object is constant but its object is + g when the object is rising and -g when it is falling.

False, the acceleration is -g when the object is rising

C) The acceleration of the object is zero at its highest point.

False, the acceleration is constant in magnitude throughout the motion

D) The speed of the object is zero at its highest point.

True, the direction of motion changes at the highest point from hence the body comes to rest and the speed is zero

E) The horizontal acceleration is always zero and the vertical acceleration is always a non-zero constant downward

True, the horizontal acceleration has associated force during motion but the vertical acceleration is due to gravity which is constant downwards

A container of volume 0.6 m^3 contains 5.3 mol of argon gas at 24°C. Assuming argon behaves as an ideal gas, find the total inte
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

the internal energy of the gas is 433089.52 J

Explanation:

let n be the number of moles, R be the gas constant and T be the temperature in Kelvins.

the internal energy of an ideal gas is given by:

Ein = 3/2×n×R×T

     = 3/2×(5.3)×(8.31451)×(24 + 273)

     = 433089.52 J

Therefore, the internal energy of this gas is 433089.52 J.

750 million years ago, there was enough Uranium-235 present in Oklo, Gabon to have a natural fission reactor occur and generate
Komok [63]
<span>With a half-life of 700 million years, U-235 would have had twice as much mass at a time 700 MYA. This would have put the mass at 100kg at that time. Going back another 50 million years would be (50/700) or 1/14 of the half-life, or (1/2 * 1/14), or 1/28 of the total mass. 1/28 of 100kg is 3.57kg, so the amount present at the 750MYA mark would be approximately 103.57kg of U-235.</span>

An electron and a proton are held on an x axis, with the electron at x = + 1.000 m and the proton at x = - 1.000 m. Part A How m
r-ruslan [8.4K]

PART A)

Electrostatic potential at the position of origin is given by

V = \frac{kq_1}{r_1} + \frac{kq_2}{r_2}

here we have

q_1 = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

q_2 = -1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

r_1 = r_2 = 1 m

now we have

V = \frac{Ke}{r} - \frac{Ke}{r}

V = 0

Now work done to move another charge from infinite to origin is given by

W = q(V_f - V_i)

here we will have

W = e(0 - 0) = 0

so there is no work required to move an electron from infinite to origin

PART B)

Initial potential energy of electron

U = \frac{Kq_1e}{r_1} + \frac{kq_2e}{r_2}

U = \frac{9\times 10^9(-1.6\times 10^{-19}(-1.6 \times 10^{-19})}{19} + \frac{9\times 10^9(1.6\times 10^{-19}(-1.6 \times 10^{-19})}{21}

U = (2.3\times 10^{-28})(\frac{1}{19} - \frac{1}{21})

U = 1.15\times 10^{-30}

Now we know

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

KE = \frac{1}{2}(9.1\times 10^{-31}(100)^2

KE = 4.55 \times 10^{-27} kg

now by energy conservation we will have

So here initial total energy is sufficient high to reach the origin

PART C)

It will reach the origin
