Answer:
Divide by 3
Explanation:
In order to estimate the distance traveled by a lightening flash in kilometers, we follow these simple steps:
- Make a count of the number of seconds in between the period a flash occur and the thunder accompanied by the lightening flash is heard.
- Dive the total number of seconds by 3 to get the distance traveled by the flash. This is because in order to cover 1 km, it roughly takes 3 seconds.
Answer:
Total displacement will be 47 meter
Total distance will be 83 meters
Explanation:
We have given that first the student go eastward towards bus stop 20 meters
But he realizes that she dropped his physics notebook and so h=she turns back along the same way up to 18 meters
So displacement = 20-18 = 2 meters
And he travel 45 meters in east along the bus stop so total displacement = 45+2 = 47 meters
Total distance traveled by the student = 20+18+45 = 83 meters
Answer:
Acid mine drainage is dissolved toxic materials wash from mines into nearby lakes and streams.
Explanation:
Acid mine drainage is the flow of acidic water with pH typically between 2 and 4, and high concentrations of other dissolved toxic materials from mines into nearby lakes and streams. It mainly occurs during metal sulfide mining, when the metal sulfide ore such as pyrite (FeS2) is exposed to water and oxygen from air to produce soluble iron and sulfuric acid.
Microorganisms, especially acidophile bacteria like Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans grow by pyrite oxidation, i.e., oxidizing the Fe²⁺ in pyrite to Fe³⁺, which again react with pyrite and water to produce sulfuric acid. Then the acidic water flows into nearby water sources and reduces the pH value of water in those sources. As a result, heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury, etc in other mineral ores also get dissolved into the water. The action of acidophile bacteria also increases the rate and degree of acid-mine drainage process.
The acid mine drainage causes water pollution and adversely affect the aquatic plants and animals. It also results in the contamination of drinking water, corrosion of infrastructures such as bridges, etc.
Answer:
Speed= 6cm/s and velocity= 6cm/s in the negative direction
Explanation:
the change in position is from 45cm to 27 cm (moving towards the negative x direction)
And the change in time:
Now we must define the difference between speed and velocity:
Speed is a scalar quantity, which means that it is a number. Velocity is also a number but you must also indicate the direction of the movement.
Thus, the speed is:
An the velocity is:
6cm/s in the negative direction
The magnitude of work done by the gas is 279 J and the sign is negative so W = -279 J as work is done by the system.
<u>Explanation:</u>
According to first law of thermodynamics, the change in internal energy of the system is equal to the sum of the heat energy added or released from the system with the work done on or by the system. If the heat energy is added to the system to perform a certain work, then the heat energy is taken as positive, while it will be negative when the heat energy is released from the system.
Similarly, in this case, the heat energy of 597 J is added to the system. So the heat energy will be positive, while the gas expansion occurs means work is done by the system.
ΔU = Q+W
Since ΔU is the change in internal energy which is given as 318 J and the heat energy added to the system is Q = 597 J.
Then the work done by the gas = ΔU - Q = 318 J - 597 J = - 279 J.
As the work is done by the system, so it will be denoted in negative sign and the magnitude of work done by the gas is 279 J.
