Answer
• Improving the environmental performances
• Developing Green Mining technology
Explanation
The effect to the environment caused by opal mining are; impact on soils and geology, clearing of native vegetation disrupting flora and fauna, change in land use and effects of air quality.
Opal mining is currently examining environmental impacts and adopting measures that mitigate the impacts making the process less destructive to the environment.
With the current commitment to sustainability, opal companies are investing funds for Green Mining as a positive way to impact the environment before and after mining.
Answer:84.672 joules.
Explanation:
1) Data:
m = 7.2 kg
h = 1.2 m
g = 9.8 m / s²
2) Physical principle
Using the law of mechanical energy conservation principle, you have that the kinetic energy of the dog, when it jumps, must be equal to the final gravitational potential energy.
3) Calculations:
The gravitational potential energy, PE, is equal to m × g × h
So, PE = m × g × h = 7.2 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 1.2 m = 84.672 joules.
And that is the kinetic energy that the dog needs.
A) We balance the masses: 4(1.00728) vs 4.0015 + 2(0.00055)4.02912 vs. 4.0026This shows a "reduced mass" of 4.02912 - 4.0026 = 0.02652 amu. This is also equivalent to 0.02652/6.02E23 = 4.41E-26 g = 4.41E-29 kg.
b) Using E = mc^2, where c is the speed of light, multiplying 4.41E-29 kg by (3E8 m/s)^2 gives 3.96E-12 J of energy.
c) Since in the original equation, there is only 1 helium atom, we multiply the energy result in b) by 9.21E19 to get 3.65E8 J of energy, or 365 MJ of energy.
