The correct answer is A. Acid rain forms from human activities and lowers the pH of rainwater below 7

Explanation:

The term "acid rain" is used to refer to rainwater with a low pH or a high acidity, this includes rainwater with a pH below 7 (solutions with a pH under 7 are acidic). In terms of formation, acid rain is mainly the result of human activities such as factories or cars that release pollutants into the atmosphere including nitric and sulfuric acids and these alter the natural pH of rain and makes it more acidic. Additionally, acid rain has negative consequences such as the death of fishes and other organisms in lakes, rivers, etc. because the acidity is toxic to many organisms. Thus, acid rain is the result of human activities and it lowers the pH of rain (Option A).

Explain where you observe reflection, refraction, and absorption of light in your everyday activities
Studentka2010 [4]
Reflection: you look in the mirror.
Refraction: You put a straw in a glass of water, and it looks like it broke.
Absorption: If you have a black sweater and you wear it out in the cold, the black sweater is going to hold in heat better than a lighter sweater because the black sweater absorbs light .

A very strong, but inept, shot putter puts the shot straight up vertically with an initial velocity of 11.1 m/s. How long does h
balandron [24]
We need to use the kinematic equation
S=ut+(1/2)at^2
where
S=displacement (+=up, in metres)
u=initial velocity (m/s)
t=time (seconds)
a=acceleration (+=up, in m/s^2)

Substitute values
S=displacement = 1.96-2.27 = -0.31 m (so that shot does not hit his head)
u=11.1
a=-9.81 (acceleration due to gravity)

-0.31=11.1t+(1/2)(-9.81)t^2
Rearrange and solve for t
-4.905t^2+11.1t-0.31=0
t=-0.02756 or t=2.291 seconds 
Reject the negative root to give
t=2.29 seconds (to 3 significant figures)

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s2. A sling shot fires a rock straight up into the air with a speed of +39.2 m/s. 1. what
Vanyuwa [196]

Given that,

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity, u = 39.2 m/s

Time, t = 2 s

To find,

The final velocity of the shot.

Solution,

Let v is the final velocity of sling shot. Using first equation of motion to find it.

v = u +at

Here, a = -g

v = u-gt

v = (39.2)-(9.8)(2)

v = 19.6 m/s

So, its velocity after 2 seconds is 19.6 m/s.
