(Missing question is: which of the following statements are true?)

a) <span>A battery does work on electric charges to bring them to a position of higher electric potential energy so that they can flow through a circuit to a lower potential energy --> TRUE
That's true: the battery does the work to move the charges to one end of its terminal thus creating a potential difference between the two terminals. Then, when it is connected to the circuit, charges start to flow to the terminal at lower potential (through the circuit)

b) </span><span>the potential difference between the terminals of a battery, when no current flows to an external circuit, is referred to as the terminal voltage --> FALSE
This is false: when no current flows, it is called e.m.f. (electromotive force)

c) </span><span>the internal resistance of a battery decreases with decreasing temperature 
--> TRUE
In fact, the dependence of a resistance with the temperature is:
</span>R=R_0[1+\alpha (T-T_0)]
with \alpha being generally positive, therefore the value of the resistance is proportional to T, and when T decreases, R decreases as well.

<span>d) a battery is a device that produces electricity by transforming chemical energy into electrical energy --> TRUE
</span><span>That's true: a battery uses chemical reactions to create a potential difference between the two terminals that can be exploited to make charges flowing through a circuit.

The children at the local park think the slide is too slow. There is too much fiction. What could you do to decrease the amount
igor_vitrenko [27]
In order to decrease the friction on the slide,
we could try some of these:

-- Install a drippy pipe across the top that keeps continuously
dripping olive oil on the top end of the slide.  The oil oozes
down the slide and keeps the whole slide greased.

-- Hire a man to spread a coat of butter on the whole slide,
every 30 minutes.

-- Spray the whole slide with soapy sudsy water, every 30 minutes.

-- Drill a million holes in the slide,and pump high-pressure air
through the holes.  Make the slide like an air hockey table.

-- Keep the slide very cold, and keep spraying it with a fine mist
of water.  The water freezes, and a thin coating of ice stays on
the slide.

-- Ask a local auto mechanic to please, every time he changes
the oil in somebody's car, to keep all the old oil, and once a week
to bring his old oil to the park, to spread on the slide.  If it keeps
the inside of a hot car engine slippery, it should do a great job
keeping a simple park slide slippery.

-- Keep a thousand pairs of teflon pants near the bottom of the ladder
at the beginning of the slide.  Anybody who wants to slide faster can
borrow a set of teflon pants, put them on before he uses the slide, and
return them when he's ready to go home from the park.

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.

he Hobbits are building a watchtower so they can prepare to battle in case trolls decide to attack them. One Hobbit will always
joja [24]

Answer:

5m/8

Explanation:

Function T gives the time the Hobbits have to prepare for the attack, T(k), in minutes, as a function of troll's distance, k, in meters.

Function V gives visibility from the watchtower, V(m), in meters, as a function of the height of the watchtower, m, in meters.

Therefore, T(V(m)) will give the time the Hobbits have to prepare for the troll attack as a function of the height, m, of the watchtower.

We can input m into function V to obtain the visibility from watchtower, V(m), in meters. Since visibility indicates the distance you can see, this also gives the distance of the trolls. This can then be input into function T to obtain the time that the Hobbits have to prepare for a troll attack.

Let's find T(V(m)) by substituting the formula for V(m) into function T as shown below.

T(V(M))=T(50m)

=50m/80

We can simplify this as follows:

=50m/80

=5m/8

What are some of the useful properties of current electricity?
Elena-2011 [213]

By definition we have to:

The electric current is the flow of electric charge due to the movement (usually of electrons) that a material travels.

Some properties are:

1) Electric conduction: The conductive materials have a large amount of free electrons, therefore, the passage of electricity is possible.

2) The current inside a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit. This is what is known as ohm's law:

I =\frac{V}{R}

3) The current can be continuous or alternate.

Alternating current is the electric current in which the magnitude and direction vary cyclically.

The direct current is the flow of electric charges that does not change direction with time.
