Which of the following strategies would most likely improve water conservation at a plant that manufactures computer chips?

1 answer:

3 0

The correct option is D.
Water conservation have to do with all the efforts that are made by individuals, government and organisations to ensure that water resources are well managed and preserved for present and future humans' use. The chip manufacturing company in the question given above can ensure water preservation by using non toxic chemicals that will not harm the aquatic environment where they will eventually discharge their wastes. And in case, the wastes of this company are buried, it can affect the water table of the community where the company is located if the wastes contain toxic materials.

What is the resistance of the coil A at 600 kelvin if its resistance at 300 kelvin is 50 ohms? (Assume the temperature coefficie

leonid [27]

155Ω

Explanation:

R = R ref ( 1 + ∝ ( T - Tref)

where R = conduction resistance at temperature T

R ref = conductor resistance at reference temperature

∝ = temperature coefficient of resistance for conductor

T = conduction temperature in degrees Celsius

T ref = reference temperature that ∝ is specified at for the conductor material

T = 600 k - 273 k = 327 °C

Tref = 300 - 273 K = 27 °C

R = 50 Ω ( 1 + 0.007 ( 327 - 27) )

R = 155Ω

In a game of pool, the cue ball strikes another ball of the same mass and initially at rest. After the collision, the cue ball m

ikadub [295]

(a) $-39.4^{\circ}$

Let's take the initial direction (before the collision) of the cue ball has positive x-direction.

Along the y-direction, the total initial momentum is zero:

$p_y =0$

Therefore, since the total momentum must be conserved, it must be zero also after the collision. So we write:

$0 = m v_1 sin \phi_1 + m v_2 sin \phi_2 \\0 = m(4.60) sin (28^{\circ}) + m(3.40) sin \phi_2$

where

m is the mass of each ball

$v_1= 4.60 m/s$ is the velocity of the cue ball after the collision

$v_2 = 3.40 m/s$ is the velocity of the second ball after the collision

$\phi_1=28.0^{\circ}$ is the angle of the cue ball with the x-axis

$\phi_2$ is the angle of the second ball

Solving for $\phi_2$ , we find the angle between the direction of motion of the second ball and the original direction of motion:

$sin \phi_2 = -\frac{4.60 sin 28}{3.40}=-0.635\\\phi_2 = -39.4^{\circ}$

(b) 6.69 m/s

To find the original speed of the cue ball, we analyze the situation along the horizontal direction.

First, we calculate the total momentum along the x-direction after the collision, which is:

$p_x = m v_1 cos \phi_1 + m v_2 cos \phi_2 \\0 = m(4.60) cos (28^{\circ}) + m(3.40) cos (-39.4^{\circ})=6.69 m$

The initial total momentum along the x-direction as

$p_x = m u$

where

m is the mass of the cue ball

$u$ is the initial velocity of the cue ball

The momentum along this direction must be conserved, so we can equate the two expressions and find the value of u:

$mu = 6.69 m\\u = 6.69 m/s$

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

D. 1×10⁻⁸ M

Explanation:

[H⁺] [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴

(1×10⁻⁶) [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴

[OH⁻] = 1×10⁻⁸

The radius of a sphere is increasing at a rate of 4 mm/s. How fast is the volume increasing when the diameter is 60 mm?

jok3333 [9.3K]

V = [4/3]π r^3 => [dV / dr ] = 4π r^2

[dV/dt] = [dV/dr] * [dr/dt]

[dV/dt] = [4π r^2] * [ dr/ dt]

r = 60 mm, [dr / dt] = 4 mm/s

[dV / dt ] = [4π(60mm)^2] * 4mm/s = 180,955.7 mm/s
