Excess fertilizer use results in nutrient pollution by effecting the nutrition values of the plants we eat.

Cutting down trees more likely to result in air pollution by an increase in greenhouse gases.

Pouring oil in drain creates water pollution which is not a nutrient source.

The correct answer is:

c. excess fertilizer use  

Explanation:

Nutrient pollution, a form of water pollution, regards to pollution by extreme inputs of nutrients. It is the main cause of eutrophication of surface waters, in which excess nutrients, normally nitrogen or phosphorus, animate algal growth. Causes of nutrient pollution include surface runoff from farm fields and pastures, secretions from septic tanks and feedlots, and eruptions from combustion.

We want to construct a solenoid with a resistance of 4.30 Ω and generate a magnetic field of 3.70 × 10−2 T at its center when ap
marshall27 [118]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Resistance of solenoid,R=4.3 ohm

Magnetic field,B=3.7\times 10^{-2} T

Current,I=4.6 A

Diameter of wire,d=0.5 mm=0.5\times 10^{-3} m

Radius of wire,r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.5\times 10^{-3}}{2}=0.25\times 10^{-3} m

1mm=10^{-3} m

Radius of solenoid,r'=1 cm=1\times 10^{-2} m

1 cm=10^{-2} m

Resistivity of copper,\rho=1.68\times 10^{-8}\Omega m

We know that

R=\frac{\rho l}{A}

Where A=\pi r^2

Using the formula

4.3=\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}\times l}{\pi(0.25\times 10^{-3})^2}

l=\frac{4.3\times \pi(0.25\times 10^{-3})^2}{1.68\times 10^{-8}}=50.23 m

Number of turns of wire=\frac{l}{2\pi r'}

Number of turns of wire=\frac{50.26}{2\pi(1\times 10^{-2}}=800

Hence, the number of turns of the  solenoid,N=799

Magnetic field in solenoid,B=\mu_0 nI

3.7\times 10^{-2}=4\pi\times 10^{-7} n\times 4.6

n=\frac{3.7\times 10^{-2}}{4\times 3.14\times 10^{-7}\times 4.6}

n=6404 turns/m

n=\frac{N}{L}

L=\frac{N}{n}

L=\frac{799}{6404}

L=0.125 m=0.125\times 100=12.5 cm

Length of solenoid=12.5 cm

1m=100 cm

Using energy considerations and assuming negligible air resistance, show that a rock thrown from a bridge 23.5 m above water wit
Elodia [21]

As stated in the statement, we will apply energy conservation to solve this problem.

From this concept we know that the kinetic energy gained is equivalent to the potential energy lost and vice versa. Mathematically said equilibrium can be expressed as

\Delta KE = \Delta PE

\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2-\frac{1}{2} mv_0^2 = mgh_2-mgh_1

Where,

m = mass

v_{f,i} = initial and final velocity

g = Gravity

h = height

As the mass is tHe same and the final height is zero we have that the expression is now:

\frac{1}{2}v_f^2-\frac{1}{2} v_0^2 = gh_2

\frac{1}{2} (v_f^2-v_0^2) = gh_2

(v_f^2-v_0^2) = 2gh_2

v_f = \sqrt{2gh_2+v_0^2}

v_f = \sqrt{2(9.8)(23.5)+13.6^2}

v_f = 25.4m/s

30. The length of mercury thread when it is at 0°C, 100°C and at an unknown temperature 0 is 25mm, 225mm and 175mm respectively.
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

75°C

Explanation:

175−25/225−25=x−0/100−0

150/200=x/100

x=150×100/200

= 75°C

Two air craft P and Q are flying at the same speed 300m/s. The direction along which P is flying is at right angles to the direc
Lerok [7]

Answer:

424.26 m/s

Explanation:

Given that Two air craft P and Q are flying at the same speed 300m/s. The direction along which P is flying is at right angles to the direction along which Q is flying. Find the magnitude of velocity of the air craft P relative to air craft Q

The relative speed will be calculated by using pythagorean theorem

Relative speed = sqrt(300^2 + 300^2)

Relative speed = sqrt( 180000 )

Relative speed = 424.26 m/s

Therefore, the magnitude of velocity of the air craft P relative to air craft Q is 424.26 m/s
