Answer:

-6.44 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = 60 m

v₀ = 27.8 m/s

v = 0 m/s

Find: a

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(0 m/s)² = (27.8 m/s)² + 2a (60 m)

a = -6.44 m/s²

Acid mine drainage is:
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Acid mine drainage is dissolved toxic materials wash from mines into nearby lakes and streams.

Explanation:

Acid mine drainage is the flow of acidic water with pH typically between 2 and 4, and high concentrations of other dissolved toxic materials from mines into nearby lakes and streams. It mainly occurs during metal sulfide mining, when the metal sulfide ore such as pyrite (FeS2) is exposed to water and oxygen from air to produce soluble iron and sulfuric acid.

Microorganisms, especially acidophile bacteria like Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans grow by pyrite oxidation, i.e., oxidizing the Fe²⁺ in pyrite to Fe³⁺, which again react with pyrite and water to produce sulfuric acid. Then the acidic water flows into nearby water sources and reduces the pH value of water in those sources. As a result, heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury, etc in other mineral ores also get dissolved into the water. The action of acidophile bacteria also increases the rate and degree of acid-mine drainage process.

The acid mine drainage causes water pollution and adversely affect the aquatic plants and animals. It also results in the contamination of drinking water, corrosion of infrastructures such as bridges, etc.

At a department store, you adjust the mirrors in the dressing room so that they are parallel and 6.2 ft apart. You stand 1.8 ft
barxatty [35]

Answer:

<em>a) 3.6 ft</em>

<em>b) 12.4 ft</em>

Explanation:

Distance between mirrors = 6.2 ft

difference from from the mirror you face = 1.8 ft

a) you stand 1.8 ft in front of the mirror you face.

According to plane mirror rules, the image formed is the same distance inside the mirror surface as the distance of the object (you) from the mirror surface. From this,

your distance from your first "front" image = 1.8 ft + 1.8 ft = <em>3.6 ft</em>

b) The mirror behind you is 6.2 - 1.8 = 4.4 ft behind you.

the back mirror will be reflected 3.6 + 4.4 = 8 ft into the front mirror,

the first image of your back will be 4.4 ft into the back mirror,

therefore your distance from your first "back" image = 8 + 4.4 = <em>12.4 ft</em>

A refrigerator removes 55.0 kcal of heat from the freezer and releases 73.5 kcal through the condenser on the back.How much work
sammy [17]

Here refrigerator removes 55 kcal heat from freezer

Refrigerator releases 73.5 kcal heat to surrounding

So here we can use energy conservation principle by II Law of thermodynamics

the law says that

Q_1 = Q_2 + W

here we know that

Q_1 = heat released to the surrounding

Q_2 = heat absorbed from freezer

W = work done by the compressor

now using above equation we can write

73.5 = 55 + W

W = 73.5 - 55

W = 18.5 kcal

So here compressor has to do 18.5 k cal work on it
