<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The statement is </u><u>False</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Contaminated rags may contain plastic and other materials that cannot be defused in soil and they remain there for a long period of time. Another reason to avoid disposal of contaminated material in earth is that it may also contain toxic materials which may result into land pollution. So it is not recommended to dispose contaminated rags in landfills.

False because it would depend on what the contaminant is

what is the kinetic energy of a 1 kilogram ball is thrown into the air with an initial velocity of 3 m/sec

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Data:
m (mass) = 1 Kg
s (speed) = 3 m/s
Kinetic energy = ? (Joule)

Formula (Kinetic energy)
$E_{k} = \frac{m*s^2}{2}$

Solving:
$E_{k} = \frac{m*s^2}{2}$
$E_{k} = \frac{1*3^2}{2}$
$E_{k} = \frac{1*9}{2}$
$E_{k} = \frac{9}{2}$
$\boxed{\boxed{E_{k} = 4.5\:J}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

What increases the work output of a machine

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

There are only two things you can do to increase the work output of a machine:

1). Increase the work INput to the machine.

2). Make the machine more efficient ... do things like lubricating it better to eliminate some internal friction.

A system had 150 kj of work done on it and its internal energy increased by 60 kj. How much energy did the system gain or lose a

mina [271]

Answer:

The system loses 90 kJ of heat

Explanation:

We can answer the question by using the 1st law of thermodynamics, which states that:

$\Delta U=Q-W$

where

$\Delta U$ is the change in internal energy of the system

$Q$ is the heat absorbed by the system (positive if absorbed, negative if released by the system)

$W$ is the work done by the system (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surrounding on the system)

In this problem, we have:

$W=-150 kJ$ is the work done (negative, because it is done by the surrounding on the system)

$\Delta U=+60 kJ$ is the increase in internal energy

Using the equation above, we can find Q, the heat absorbed/released by the system:

$Q=\Delta U+W=+60 kJ+(-150 kJ)=-90 kJ$

And the negative sign means that the system has lost this heat.

Wave power can be regarded as a reliable source of energy because the ocean currents are always moving.

<h3>What can be the challenges of wave power?</h3>

Wave power is a device that can be used to convert the mechanical energy of the ocean waves into electrical energy based on the principle of conservation of energy.

The major challenges that face the use of wave power in electricity generation is the unreliability of the waves which leads to uncertainty in the quantity of power generated Also, the wave direction and direction of ocean currents all limit the amount of power generated by this method. However, in spite of challenges, it can be regarded as a reliable source of energy because the ocean currents are always moving.
