The use of pesticides in farming land is example of non-point source pollution. The area of emitting of pollution is very large. That is why, it is difficult to monitor and control this type of pollution.

Americans get their water for everyday use through aquifer. Aquifers can be conserve by avoiding high amount of chemical uses and reducing household waste. Also the sustainable use of water cause conservation of natural resource.

Aquifer are basically underground water present in ground pores. The structure of aquifer just look like sponge. The water moves through the porous surfaces of the ground.

A hippo drives 42 km due East. He then turns and drives 28 km at 25° East of South. He turns again and drives 32 km at 40° North
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

a) Please, see the attched figure

b) Total displacement R = (78.3 km; -4.8 km)

c) R = (78.4 km * cos (-3.5°); 78.4 km * sin (-3.5°))

d) The hippo is 78.4 km from his starting point.

The total distance traveled is 102 km

Explanation:

a)Please, see the attached figure.

b) The vector A can be expressed as:

A = (magnitude * cos α; magnitude * sin α)

Where

magnitude = 42 km

α= 0

Then,

A = (42 km ; 0) or 42 km i

In the same way, we can proceed with the other vectors:

B = ( Bx ; By)

where

(apply trigonometry of right triangles: sen α = opposite / hypotenuse and

cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse. See the figure to determine which component of vector B is the opposite and adjacent side to α)

Bx = 28 km * sin 25 = 11.8 km

By = 28 km * cos 25 = -25.4 km (it has to be negative since it is directed towards the negative vertical region according to our reference system)

B = (11.8 km; -25.4 km) or 11.8 km i - 25.4 km j

C = (Cx; Cy)

where

Cx = 32 km * cos 40° = 24.5 km

Cy = 32 km * sin 40 = 20.6 km

C = (24.5 km; 20.6 km)

Then:

R = A+B+C = (42 km + 11.8 km + 24.5 km; 0 - 25.4 km + 20.6 km)

= (78.3 km; -4.8 km) or 78.3 km i -4.8 km j

c) R = (78.3 km; -4.8 km)

The magnitude of R is:

magnitude = \sqrt{(78.3)^{2 }+ (-4.8)^{2}}= 78.4 km

Using trigonometry, we can calculate the angle:

Knowing that

tan α = opposite / adjacent

and that

opposite = Ry = -4.8 km

adjacent = Rx = 78.3 km

Then:

tan α = -4.8 km / 78.4 km

α = -3.5°

We can now write the vector R in magnitude and direction form:

R = (78.4 km * cos (-3.5°); 78.4 km * sin (-3.5°))

d) The displacement of the hipo relative to the starting point is the magnitude of vector R calculated in c):

magnitude R = 78. 4 km

The total distance traveled is the sum of the magnitudes of each vector:

Total distance = 42 km + 28 km + 32 km = 102 km

Range of motion is the distance an object can travel when separated from another object. Please select the best answer from the
Lady_Fox [76]
Based on the given statement above, the correct answer would be FALSE. It is not true that range of motion is the distance an object can travel when separated from another object because range of motion or ROM is the distance--linear or angular--<span>that a movable object may normally travel while properly ATTACHED (not separated) to another. Hope this answer helps.</span>

The hot glowing surfaces of stars emit energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. It is a good approximation to assume tha
belka [17]

Given that,

Energy H=2.7\times10^{31}\ W

Surface temperature = 11000 K

Emissivity e =1

(a). We need to calculate the radius of the star

Using formula of energy

H=Ae\sigma T^4

A=\dfrac{H}{e\sigma T^4}

4\pi R^2=\dfrac{H}{e\sigma T^4}

R^2=\dfrac{H}{e\sigma T^4\times4\pi}

Put the value into the formula

R=\sqrt{\dfrac{2.7\times10^{31}}{1\times5.67\times10^{-8}\times(11000)^4\times 4\pi}}

R=5.0\times10^{10}\ m

(b). Given that,

Radiates energy H=2.1\times10^{23}\ W

Temperature T = 10000 K

We need to calculate the radius of the star

Using formula of radius

R^2=\dfrac{H}{e\sigma T^4\times4\pi}

Put the value into the formula

R=\sqrt{\dfrac{2.1\times10^{23}}{1\times5.67\times10^{-8}\times(10000)^4\times4\pi}}

R=5.42\times10^{6}\ m

Hence, (a). The radius of the star is 5.0\times10^{10}\ m

(b). The radius of the star is 5.42\times10^{6}\ m

What would be the best design for an experiment that tests how much water expands when frozen?
galben [10]

B. Purchase a small plastic container and mark 1-ounce increments on the outside to determine volume. Pour 5 ounces of water into the container, and place in the freezer for 8 hours. Compare the frozen or ending volume with the liquid or beginning volume.

<h3>How much water expands when frozen?</h3>

Ice is less denser than the liquid form. Water is the only known non-metallic substance that expands when it freezes because it is the unique property of water. Water density decreases and it expands approximately  about 9% by volume. For calculating the expansion of water, plastic container is the best option. We know that water expands when the water freezes because it is a unique property of water which allows the survival of aquatic organisms.

So we can conclude that option B is the right answer.
