Thank you so much
Homework Answers
Saturated soils - all pores when filled with water then at hat point the water potential energy becomes almost near to zero.
hence option b is the correct one.
unsaturated soils - have negative matric (capillary) potential energy . Matric potential is the availability of water for plants in the soil . Under unsaturated condition this energy is negative hence option d is correct.

(1) Hydraulic turbines convert the potential energy of water into shaft work, which, in turn, rotates the electric generator coupled to it in producing electric power. Pelton turbine named after Lester Allen Pelton of the USA, an impulse turbine used for high head and low discharge. In an impulse turbine all the available head of water is converted into kinetic energy in a nozzle. The water shoots out of the nozzle in a free jet into a bucket which revolves...

Conservation of energy In the examples you have examined in this lab, as the coaster travels down the track its gravitational potential energy decreases, and its kinetic energy increases. At any point along the path of the coaster, the potential energy plus the kinetic energy add up to the same value. In the absence of friction and air resistance, we find that the total energy (kinetic plus potential) stays the same. For this reason, physicists call the total energy a...

Consider the potential energy described in problem 1.14. For low
amplitudes, the motion of the object is well described by simple
harmonic motion, so that the period is independent of amplitude.
However, once the amplitude gets high enough this is no longer
true. As the amplitude increase, does the period increase or
decrease? Explain your reasoning thoroughly, and assume that the
amplitude is always less than pi/B.
