What is non-point source pollution, and why is this kind of pollution hard to monitor and control?

1 answer:

7 0

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.

Talja [164]

Answer:

A) 5.2 x 10³ N

B) 8.8 x 10³ N

Explanation:

Part A)

$F_{g}$ = weight of the craft in downward direction = tension force in the cable when stationary = 7000 N

$T$ = Tension force in upward direction

$F_{d}$ = Drag force in upward direction = 1800 N

Force equation for the motion of craft is given as

$F_{g}$ - $F_{d}$ - $T$ = 0

7000 - 1800 - $T$ = 0

$T$ = 5200 N

$T$ = 5.2 x 10³ N

Part B)

$F_{g}$ = weight of the craft in downward direction = tension force in the cable when stationary = 7000 N

$T$ = Tension force in upward direction

$F_{d}$ = Drag force in downward direction = 1800 N

Force equation for the motion of craft is given as

$T$ - $F_{g}$ - $F_{d}$ = 0

$T$ - 7000 - 1800 = 0

$T$ = 8800 N

$T$ = 8.8 x 10³ N

Two workers are sliding 300 kg crate across the floor. One worker pushes forward on the crate with a force of 400 N while the ot

almond37 [142]

Answer:

The kinetic coefficient of friction of the crate is 0.235.

Explanation:

As a first step, we need to construct a free body diagram for the crate, which is included below as attachment. Let supposed that forces exerted on the crate by both workers are in the positive direction. According to the Newton's First Law, a body is unable to change its state of motion when it is at rest or moves uniformly (at constant velocity). In consequence, magnitud of friction force must be equal to the sum of the two external forces. The equations of equilibrium of the crate are:

$\Sigma F_{x} = P+T-\mu_{k}\cdot N = 0$ (Ec. 1)

$\Sigma F_{y} = N - W = 0$ (Ec. 2)

Where:

$P$ - Pushing force, measured in newtons.

$T$ - Tension, measured in newtons.

$\mu_{k}$ - Coefficient of kinetic friction, dimensionless.

$N$ - Normal force, measured in newtons.

$W$ - Weight of the crate, measured in newtons.

The system of equations is now reduced by algebraic means:

$P+T -\mu_{k}\cdot W = 0$

And we finally clear the coefficient of kinetic friction and apply the definition of weight:

$\mu_{k} =\frac{P+T}{m\cdot g}$

If we know that $P = 400\,N$ , $T = 290\,N$ , $m = 300\,kg$ and $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , then:

$\mu_{k} = \frac{400\,N+290\,N}{(300\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}$

$\mu_{k} = 0.235$

The kinetic coefficient of friction of the crate is 0.235.

A diver leaves the end of a 4.0 m high diving board and strikes the water 1.3s later, 3.0m beyond the end of the board. Consider

shutvik [7]

Answer:

4.0 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the diver is the motion of a projectile: so we need to find the horizontal and the vertical component of the initial velocity.

Let's consider the horizontal motion first. This motion occurs with constant speed, so the distance covered in a time t is

$d=v_x t$

where here we have

d = 3.0 m is the horizontal distance covered

vx is the horizontal velocity

t = 1.3 s is the duration of the fall

Solving for vx,

$v_x = \frac{d}{t}=\frac{3.0 m}{1.3 s}=2.3 m/s$

Now let's consider the vertical motion: this is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. The vertical position at time t is given by

$y(t) = h + v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$
