At some speed, the drag or force of resistance will equal the gravitational pull on the object. At this point the object ceases to accelerate and continues falling at a constant speed called the terminal velocity (also called settling velocity).
Answer:
vp = 0.94 m/s
Explanation
Formula
Vp = position/ time
position: Initial position - Final position
Position = 25 m - (-7 m) = 25 m + 7 m = 32 m
Then
Vp = 32 m / 34 seconds
Vp = 0.94 m/s
Answer:
P= 454.11 N
Explanation:
Since P is the only horizontal force acting on the system, it can be defined as the product of the acceleration by the total mass of the system (both cubes).
The friction force between both cubes (F) is defined as the normal force acting on the smaller cube multiplied by the coefficient of static friction. Since both cubes are subject to the same acceleration:
In order for the small cube to not slide down, the friction force must equal the weight of the small cube:
The smallest magnitude that P can have in order to keep the small cube from sliding downward is 454.11 N
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:
0 Kelvin
Explanation:
Atoms in absolute temperature get approximatelly motionless since 0 Kelvin is -273 degrees Celcius. The kinetic energy of atoms/particles in matter has the possible lowest value ( almost zero), so that there is nothing colder than 0 Kelvin.
