How does the Colorado river enrich the lives of millions of people ?
Answer:
This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross. Loud concerts, power tools, construction work - they're affecting people's hearing. Hearing loss isn't just a problem for older people. In a few minutes, we're going to talk about some of the new high-tech ways of dealing with it. That's the subject of the latest New Yorker article by my guest, David Owen, who is a staff writer for the magazine. He's also a contributing editor at Golf Digest, which is how he got to play golf with Donald Trump. We'll talk about that, too.
But we're going to start with the subject of Owen's new book, "Where The Water Goes," about the Colorado River. The river and its tributaries supply water to over 36 million people in seven states - Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and California - and irrigates close to 6 million acres of farmland. Owen writes about the engineering feats that make all that possible and the legal and environmental battles surrounding the river. The Colorado River is so overtaxed that by the time it reaches the U.S.-Mexico border it's dry.
David Owen, welcome to FRESH AIR. So can you give us a kind of overview sense of the manmade things that have been done to control and disseminate water from the Colorado through the West?
DAVID OWEN: When you look at the Colorado River, it's not a big river. It's done these amazing things. It carved the Grand Canyon. But it's not - it's not broad. It's not like the Mississippi. The Mississippi is 1,000 miles longer, and the entire annual flow of the Colorado River flows down the Mississippi every couple of weeks. And yet in the western United States, it's incredibly important, in seven states. It supplies water to something like 26 million people. It irrigates 6 million acres of agriculture. And most of those 6 million acres are land that the river itself deposited, silt from, you know, what's missing from the Grand Canyon. It spread out across Arizona and California.
So there's this enormous network of canals and irrigation ditches and tunnels that draw water from that river and take it in some cases hundreds of miles away, you know, 300 miles to the west to Los Angeles, you know, 300 miles to the east to Phoenix and Tucson, hundreds of miles across deserts into reservoirs and canal systems. And it's governed by its own - its own laws that determine who gets to pull that water and use it and what they get to use it for.
GROSS: The plan for dividing the water among the seven river states - Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California - that was written up in 1922. You seem to think it's a pretty bad agreement. What makes it so bad?
OWEN: Everybody thinks it's both a bad agreement and a good agreement. It's bad because it divided up the river at a time when people thought the river contained a lot more water than it actually does. It's one of these great sort of ironies of history that in the 19 - the 1920s were some of the wettest years in that part of the country since the 1400s. So the river at that time was carrying more water than ever. And so when the states divided up the river, they were dividing up - actually water that didn't exist. On the other side, the good side is that, well, it's almost a century later and that compact, the agreement among those states, still exists.
GROSS: So how has the world and how has the population in the West changed since 1922 in ways that might make that agreement kind of out-of-date?
OWEN: Well, in lots of ways. There are many more people than anybody imagined in 1922. Some of the biggest, fastest-growing cities in the country are cities that depend on water from that river. Some of the most productive agricultural land draws water from that river. You know, for a long time the fact that they had divided up water that wasn't there didn't make any difference because nobody figured out how to use up all the water anyway. But now we've gotten much better at it and we use it up. So we stretch it farther than people did in those days.

An air bubble released by a deep-water diver, 115 m below the surface of a lake, has a volume of 1.60 cm3. The surface of the lake is at sea level, and the density of the lake water can be approximated as that of pure water. As the bubble rises to the surface, the temperature of the water and the number of air molecules in the bubble can each be approximated as constant. Find the volume (in cm3) of the bubble just before it pops at the surface of the lake.
___ cm3.
Answer:
The value is [tex]V_2 = 1.9396 *10^{-5} \ m^3 [/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The depth at which the bubble is released is [tex]h = 115 \ m[/tex]
The volume of the air bubble is [tex]V = 1.60 cm^3 = 1.60 *10^{-6} \ m^3[/tex]
Generally from the ideal gas law
[tex]PV = nRT[/tex]
Given that n , R , T are constant we have that
[tex]PV = constant[/tex]
So
[tex]P_1 V_1=P_2 V_2[/tex]
Here [tex]P_1[/tex] is the pressure of the bubble at the depth where it is released which i mathematically represented as
[tex]P_1 = P_a + P[/tex]
Here [tex]P_a[/tex] is the atmospheric pressure with value [tex]P_a = 101325 \ Pa[/tex]
and [tex]P[/tex] is the pressure due to the depth which is mathematically represented as
[tex]P = \rho * g * h[/tex]
So
[tex]P = 1000 * 9.8*115[/tex]
=> [tex]P = 1127000\ Pa[/tex]
Here [tex]\rho[/tex] is the density of pure water with value [tex]\rho = 1000 \ kg/m^3[/tex]
[tex]g = 9.8 \ m/s^2[/tex]
[tex]V_1[/tex] is the volume of the bubble at the depth where it is released
[tex]P_2[/tex] is the pressure of the bubble at the surface which is equivalent to the atmospheric temperature
[tex]V_2[/tex] is the volume of the bubble at the surface
So
[tex]V_2 = \frac{ P_1 * V_1}{ P_2}[/tex]
=> [tex]V_2 = \frac{(Pa+ P) * V_1}{P_a}[/tex]
=> [tex]V_2 = \frac{101325 + 1127000 * (1.60 *10^{-6})}{ 101325 }[/tex]
=> [tex]V_2 = 1.9396 *10^{-5} \ m^3 [/tex]

The gravitational force between two objects is
proportional to the products of the masses and
proportional to the square of the distance between them.
The complete question is;
The gravitational force between two objects is ______ proportional to the products of the masses and _______ proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Answer:
First dash is directly
Second dash is inversely
Explanation:
From Newton's law of gravitation the gravitational force is given by the equation;
F = GMm/r²
Where:
F is gravitational force
M and m are two masses representing the two objects
r is the distance between them
G = universal gravitational constant
Thus, if we are to write it in proportion format, we will have;
F ∝ Mm/r²
From this proportion relationship, we can see that the Gravitational force is directly proportional to the products of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Answer:
DirectlyInverselyExplanation:
The gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the products of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

1 point
A. 0.25
OB. 0.50
C. 0.10
D. 0.17
Answer:
D) miu = 0.17
Explanation:
To be able to solve this problem we must perform a sum of forces in the direction of the movement. This sum of forces must be equal to zero, since the block moves at a constant speed, therefore there is no acceleration.
The friction force is defined as the product of the normal force by the coefficient of friction.
[tex]f=miu*N[/tex]
where:
f = friction force = 50 [N]
miu = friction coefficient
N = normal force [N]
Now the normal force is defined as the force with equal magnitude to the weight of the block but acting in the opposite direction.
[tex]N=300[N][/tex]
Now replacing:
[tex]miu=f/N\\miu=50/300\\miu = 0.166\\ or 0.17[/tex]

Engine 1 produces twice the power of engine 2.
If it takes engine 1 the time T to do the work W, how long does it take engine 2 to do the same work?
Express your answer in terms of some of all of the variables T and W.
T2=________________
Answer:
[tex]T_2=\frac{T}{2}[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that engine 1 produces twice the power of engine 2.
Let [tex]P_1[/tex] and [tex]P_2[/tex] be the power of engine 1 and engine2.
So, the power of the engine 2,
[tex]P_2 = 2P_1\cdots(i)[/tex]
As, Work = Power x time,
So, the work, W, done by an engine 1:
[tex]W=P_1\timesT\cdots(ii)[/tex]
The work, W, done by an engine 2:
[tex]W_2=P_2\times T_2\cdots(iii)[/tex]
If the work done by both the engines are the same, then
[tex]W_2=W[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow P_2\times T_2=P_1\timesT[/tex] [from (ii) nd (iii)]
[tex]\Rightarrow 2P_1\times T_2=P_1\timesT[/tex] [by using (i)]
[tex]\Rightarrow 2 T_2=T \\\\\Rightarrow T_2=\frac{T}{2}[/tex]
Hence, [tex]T_2=\frac{T}{2}.[/tex]
The time taken for engine 2 to do the same amount of work is given by:
T₂ = 2TLet the power of the 1st engine be P₁
Let the power of the 2nd engine be P₂
Power = Work / timeFrom the question given above,
Engine 1 produces twice the power of engine 2.
Thus,
P₁ = 2P₂
P₂ = ½P₁
Next, we shall determine the power used by engine 1 to do the work in time T.Work = W
Time (T₁) = T
Power (P₁) =?Power = Work / time
[tex]P_{1} = \frac{W}{T}\\\\[/tex]Finally, we shall determine the time taken for engine 2 to do the same work.Work = W
Power of engine 1 (P₁) = [tex]\frac{W}{T}\\\\[/tex]
Power of engine 2 (P₂) = ½P₁
Power of engine 2 (P₂) = [tex]\frac{1}{2} (\frac{W}{T}) = \frac{W}{2T}[/tex]
Time (T₂) =?[tex]Power = \frac{Work}{time} \\\\ P_{2} = \frac{W}{T_{2}} \\\\\frac{W}{2T} = \frac{W}{T_{2}} \\\\\frac{1}{2T} = \frac{1}{T_{2}}\\\\[/tex]
Invert
T₂ = 2TTherefore, the time taken for engine 2 to do the same amount of work is: T₂ = 2T

A eureka can of mass 100g and cross-section area 100cm2 is filled with water of density 1g/cm3. A piece of metal of mass 20g and density 8g/cm3 is lowered into the can. ( height of can 10cm ) calculate:
a) the total mass of can before the metal was lowered.
b) the volume of water that overflowed
c) the final mass of can and its content
Answer:
Explanation:
a)
Firstly to calculate the total mass of the can before the metal was lowered we need to add the mass of the eureka can and the mass of the water in the can. We don't know the mass of the water but we can easily find if we know the volume of the can. In order to calculate the volume we would have to multiply the area of the cross section by the height. So we do the following.
100[tex]cm^{2}[/tex] x 10cm = 1000[tex]cm^{3}[/tex]
Now in order to find the mass that water has in this case we have to multiply the water's density by the volume, and so we get....
[tex]\frac{1g}{cm^{3} }[/tex] x 1000[tex]cm^{3}[/tex] = 1000g or 1kg
Knowing this, we now can calculate the total mass of the can before the metal was lowered, by adding the mass of the water to the mass of the can. So we get....
1000g + 100g = 1100g or 1.1kg
b)
The volume of the water that over flowed will be equal to the volume of the metal piece (since when we add the metal piece, the metal piece will force out the same volume of water as itself, to understand this more deeply you can read the about "Archimedes principle"). Knowing this we just have to calculate the volume of the metal piece an that will be the answer. So this time in order to find volume we will have to divide the total mass of the metal piece by its density. So we get....
20g ÷ [tex]\frac{8g}{cm^{3} }[/tex] = 2.5 [tex]cm^{3}[/tex]
c)
Now to find out the total mass of the can after the metal piece was lowered we would have to add the mass of the can itself, mass of the water inside the can, and the mass of the metal piece. We know the mass of the can, and the metal piece but we don't know the mass of the water because when we lowered the metal piece some of the water overflowed, and as a result the mass of the water changed. So now we just have to find the mass of the water in the can keeping in mind the fact that 2.5[tex]cm^{3}[/tex] overflowed. So now we the same process as in number a) just with a few adjustments.
[tex]\frac{1g}{cm^{3} }[/tex] x (1000[tex]cm^{3}[/tex] - 2.5[tex]cm^{3}[/tex]) = 997.5g
So now that we know the mass of the water in the can after we added the metal piece we can add all the three masses together (the mass of the can. the mass of the water, and the mass of the metal piece) and get the answer.
100g + 997.5g + 20g = 1117.5g or 1.1175kg
