Answer:

D. It increased deposition downstream.

Explanation:

Tailing is the material leftover after separation of valuable material from ore. Tailing ponds are made near moving water are not good for water as they increase water pollution. In case of waste rocks from mine dumped near water body such as river, may reduce the depth of river bed and increase chances of flood. These deposits also increase deposition downstream and form big deltas.

State how you agree or disagree with the following statement. A good circuit cannot have internal resistance.​
Rashid [163]

Answer: I do

Explanation:

Resistance opposes current thereby reducing the amount of current that flows through a circuit. In other words, it leads to a loss of electrical energy.

Ideally speaking, a good circuit should have no internal resistance as this would lead to more energy having to be supplied to overcome that resistance. External resistance however, is not a bad thing. For instance, oxygen being removed from lightbulbs.

A car travels along a straight line at a constant speed of 53.0 mi/h for a distance d and then another distance d in the same di
Shalnov [3]

A distance of d is covered with 53 mile/hr initially. Time taken to cover this distance t1 = d/53 hour Next distance of d is covered with x mile hours. Time taken to cover this distance t2 = d/x hours. We have average speed = 26.5 mile / hour          

                                         = Total distance traveled/ total time taken                  

                                         = \frac{2d}{\frac{d}{53}+\frac{d}{x}} = \frac{2}{\frac{1}{53}+\frac{1}{x} }  = \frac{106x}{x+53}

                              26.5 = \frac{106x}{x+53} \\ \\ 79.5 x = 1404.5\\ \\ x = 17.67 miles/hour

How should the flight controls be held while taxiing a tricycle-gear equipped airplane with a left quartering tailwind?
AlexFokin [52]
<span>The flight controls must be held with left aileron up and elevator neutral while taxiing a tricycle-gear equipped airplane with a left quartering tailwind. In aircraft, ailerons are placed on the trailing edge of each wing near the wingtips and can be moved up and down. So when the left aileron is up, the movement of the airplane moves to the left  and turns the wheel in a counterclockwise direction while at the same time, the right aileron is down.
