Answer: B. To contain garbage

Explanation:

Landfill is a site which is excluded from the urban or rural area. It is large place where biodegradable and non biodegradable wastes are disposed off in a large pit. So as to prevent the release of harmful gases after natural decomposition of these waste.

ou are walking down a straight path in a park and notice there is another person walking some distance ahead of you. The distanc
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The value is d  =  31.45 \  m

Explanation:

Generally the relative speed at which you are moving with respect to the person ahead of you is mathematically represented as

v_r  =  v_s  - v_c

substituting 1.05 m/s for v_c and 2.75 m/s for v_s

So

v_r  =  2.75  - 1.05

=> v_r  =  1.7 \  m/s

Generally the distance by which the person is ahead of you is mathematically represented as

d =  v_r  *  t

substituting 18.5 s for t

       d =  1.7  * 18.5

=>      d  =  31.45 \  m

A form of energy that exhibits wave behavior as it travels through space is
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Electromagnetic Radiation

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiation is formed by the combination of electric and magnetic fields, which propagate through space in the form of energy-carrying waves.

Electromagnetic waves have vibrations perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. For this reason, they are classified among the transverse waves.

Electromagnetic waves travel through space, and do not need a material medium to propagate.

Main types of electromagnetic radiation.

Gamma rays: More energetic radiation. It has the highest frequency (and therefore, the shortest wavelength). They constitute a form of radioactivity.

X-rays: Radiation of less energy than gamma rays. It is used in medical examinations and in the study of metals.

Ultraviolet (UV) rays: Radiation of less energy than X-rays. It comes mainly from the sun.

Visible radiation: Radiation of lower energy than ultraviolet rays. Collect the range of frequencies that can be perceived with the view, from red to violet.

Infrared rays (IR): Radiation of less energy than visible radiation. It is emitted by hot bodies.

Microwave: Radiation of less energy than infrared. It is used in appliances and medical therapy.

TV and radio waves: Less energetic radiation. They are used in telecommunications

Orbital velocity is the average speed of a planet moving through space in its orbit around the sun. Which of the following plane
labwork [276]

The force of gravity is equal to the mass times centripetal acceleration.

Fg = m v^2 / r

The force of gravity is defined by Newton's law of universal gravitation as:

Fg = mMG / r^2

Therefore:

mMG / r^2 = m v^2 / r

MG / r = v^2

v increases as r decreases. So the planet with the smallest orbit (closest to the sun) will have the highest orbital velocity. Of the four options, that's Mercury.
