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:
The outline of the energy transfer are;
a) Kinetic energy → Clockwork spring → Potential energy
b) Potential energy in clockwork car → Clockwork spring coil unwound → Clockwork car run
c) Chemical potential energy → Batteries in the car → Electric motors → Kinetic energy
Please find attached the drawings of the energy transfer created with MS Visio
Explanation:
The energy transfer diagrams are diagrams that can be used to indicate the part of a system where energy is stored and the form and location to which the energy is transferred
a) The energy transfer diagram for the winding up a clockwork car is given as follows;
Mechanical kinetic energy is used to wind up (turn) the clockwork car such that the kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy and stored in the wound up clockwork as follows;
Kinetic energy → Clockwork spring → Potential energy
b) Letting a wound up clockwork car run results in the conversion of mechanical potential energy into kinetic (energy due tom motion) energy as follows;
Potential energy in clockwork car → Clockwork spring coil unwound → Clockwork car run
c) The energy stored in the battery of a battery powered car is chemical potential energy. When the battery powered car runs, the chemical potential energy produces an electromotive force which is converted into kinetic energy as electric current flows from the batteries
Therefore, we have;
Chemical potential energy → Batteries in the car → Electric motors → Kinetic energy
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>To relate the type of box material to the warmth inside the box
</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
3 boxes are made with three different materials glass, plastic and Aluminium. Thermal conductivity is different for different materials. thermal conductors allow easy flow of heat through them and insulators allow minimal or no flow of heat through them.
Thus the amount by which an object gets heated up depends on the value of its conductivity. In this experiment, glass and plastic are insulators and aluminium is a conductor. Among glass and plastic, plastic is a better insulator.
<em>Thus the heat contained in the boxes will be of the order </em>Aluminium>glass>plastic.
Answer:
15.5 m/s.
Explanation:
Potential energy of the balloon has been converted to kinetic energy.
potential energy = kinetic energy.
mgh = ½mv².
10* 10* 12= ½ *10 *v²
1200 = 5v²
v²=1200÷5
v=√240
v= 15.49~15.5 m/s.
