Explain what causes acid rain to form and its negative effects on living and nonliving things.

Physics

What causes it to form: <span>Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain. Human activities, power plants, and exhaust from vehicles all are causes.</span>
Affects on living things-
Acid rain can kill trees
It can affect plant growth patterns
Toxins can kill animals
Nonliving things- 
It can decay building materials and paints
it breaks down rocks

When blue light of wavelength 460 nm falls on a single slit, the first dark bands on either side of center are separated by 45.0
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

width of slit =1.23× 10⁻⁶ m  

Explanation:

we know the condition of diffraction minima,

d sin θ = n λ

λ = wavelength     θ = angle between the central maxima and 1st  minima

d = slit width

for first minima  n = 1

now,

d =\dfrac{n \lambda}{sin \theta}

\theta = \dfrac{45^0}{2} = 22.5^0

d =\dfrac{1\times 460 \times 10^{-9}}{sin 22.5^0}

d = 1228 × 10⁻⁹ m  = 1.228× 10⁻⁶ m

d =  1.23× 10⁻⁶ m

width of slit =1.23× 10⁻⁶ m

The diagram shows the parabolic path of a projectile that leaves the foot of a kicker with a horizontal velocity of 15 m/s and a
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

I would increase the horizontal velocity or the vertical velocity or both to make the ball go the extra distance to cross the goal line.

Explanation:

In order to increase the horizontal distance covered by the ball, we need to examine the variables involved in the formula of range of projectile. The formula for the range of projectile is given as follows:

R = V₀² Sin 2θ/g

where, g is a constant on earth (acceleration due to gravity) and θ is the angle of ball with ground at the time of launching. The value of θ should be 45° for maximum range. In this case we do not know the angle so, we can not tell if we should change it or not.

The only parameter here which we can increase to increase the range is launch velocity (V₀). The formula for V₀ in terms of horizontal and vertical components is as follows:

V₀ = √(V₀ₓ² + V₀y²)

where,

V₀ₓ = Horizontal Velocity

V₀y = Vertical Velocity

Hence, it is clear from the formula that we can increase both the horizontal and vertical velocity to increase the initial speed which in turn increases the horizontal distance covered by the ball.

<u>Therefore, I would increase the horizontal velocity or the vertical velocity or both to make the ball go the extra distance to cross the goal line.</u>

As an object moves from point A to point B only two forces act onit: one force is nonconservative and does -30 J of work, the ot
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

To solve this problem we will apply the principles of energy conservation. On the one hand we have that the work done by the non-conservative force is equivalent to -30J while the work done by the conservative force is 50J.

This leads to the direct conclusion that the resulting energy is 20J.

The conservative force is linked to the movement caused by the sum of the two energies, therefore there is an increase in kinetic energy. The decrease in the mechanical energy of the system is directly due to the loss given by the non-conservative force, therefore there is a decrease in mechanical energy.

Therefore the correct answer is A. Kintetic energy increases and mechanical energy decreases.
