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.

An electron traveling horizontally to the right enters a region where a uniform electric field is directed downward. What is the
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Upward

Explanation:

For charged particles immersed in an electric field:

- if the particle is positively charged, the direction of the force is the same as the direction of the electric field

- if the particle is negatively charged, the direction of the force is opposite to the direction of the electric field

In this problem, we have an electron - so a negatively charged particle - so the direction of the force is opposite to that of the electric field.

Since the electric field is directed downward, therefore, the electric force on the electron will be upward.

A block of mass 8 m can move without friction
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Let M1 = 8 kg and M2 = 34 kg

F = M a = (M1 + M2) a

F = M2 g     the net force accelerating the system

M2 g = (M1 + M2) a

a = M2 / (M1 + M2) g = 34 / (42) g = .81 g = 7.9 m/s^2

A person is lying on a diving board 2.00 m above the surface of the water in a swimming pool. She looks at a penny that is on th
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

7.98 m

Explanation:

In the given question,

distance above surface= 2 m

Distance penny from person = 8 m

Since the swimming pool is filled with water and atmosphere has air therefore the refractive index phenomenon will occur.

The refractive index of water: air is 4/3 (1.33).

Using the formula, 4/3 = real depth, apparent depth

real depth= 4/3 x apparent depth

Now, calculating apparent depth = 8 - 2

= 6 m

therefore, real depth =  4/3 x apparent depth

= 1.33 x 6

= 7.98

thus, 7.98 m is the real depth of water.

Jon's bathtub is rectangular and its base is 18 ft2. (a) How fast is the water level rising if Jon is filling the tub at a rate
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The water level in the bath tub is rising at a rate of 0.0111 ft/s

Explanation:

Volume of the bath tub = (Area of base) × (height)

Area of base = 18 ft² (constant)

Height = h (variable)

V = 18h

(dV/dt) = 18 (dh/dt)

If (dV/dt) = 0.2 ft³/s

0.2 = 18 (dh/dt)

(dh/dt) = (0.2/18)

(dh/dt) = 0.0111 ft/s

Hope this Helps!!!
