Answer:
True
Explanation:
It can cause flooding and destruction of habitat because of dammed rivers create large reservoirs upstream which can spill out to the surrounding during heavy rainfall causing flooding and destruction of natural habitat.
Answer: It was Democritus, in fact, who first used the word atomos to describe the smallest possible particles of matter.

A and C is the correct one
Answer: 909 m/s
Explanation:
Given
Mass of the bullet, m1 = 0.05 kg
Mass of the wooden block, m2 = 5 kg
Final velocities of the block and bullet, v = 9 m/s
Initial velocity of the bullet v1 = ? m/s
From the question, we would notice that there is just an object (i.e the bullet) moving before the collision. Also, even after the collision between the bullet and wood, the bullet and the wood would move as one object. Thus, we would use the conservation of momentum to solve
m1v1 = (m1 + m2) v, on substituting, we have
0.05 * v1 = (0.05 + 5) * 9
0.05 * v1 = 5.05 * 9
0.05 * v1 = 45.45
v1 = 45.45 / 0.05
v1 = 909 m/s
Thus, the original velocity of the bullet was 909 m/s
I'm trying to think of something that will give you the biggest bang for your buck, meaning what would give you the most number of energy transformations in their use.
Wind energy uses those great big windmills that transform wind into electrical energy. The wind is caused by the sun (which has nuclear energy, light energy and the earth's rotation which is not related to the sun but is mechanical energy). To start with you use mechanical energy. That energy drives a generator that stores it's energy in a battery. You have changed electrical energy into chemical energy. The batteries, on a calm day take over and provide electrical energy that must be transported to the consumers using it. Proponents of wind energy say that it is pollution free. It's not exactly true. The batteries used have to be manufactured (not a clean industry) and when they wear out, they pollute the environment if they cannot be recharged with new battery plates and acid (chemical).
Added to which wind energy is very noisy (sound energy) which has been linked to serious diseases.
