Pure water is a colorless, odorless liquid with no molecules
except H₂O in it.  You can buy it at the supermarket, or make
it at home if you have the equipment and know how to use it.
At the supermarket, it's sold in gallon jugs, marked "Distilled
Water".

It turns out that pure water tastes bleah, and you would not
want to drink it for very long.

The Earth's water cycle is constantly purifying our water.
When the sun warms the ocean's surface and evaporates
water, what evaporates and rises into the atmosphere is
pure water.  The pollutants don't evaporate.  The clouds,
the rain, and the rivers are self-purifying.  Another example
of a process of nature that makes life possible here.

The junk is collecting in the oceans.  We're lucky that the oceans
have such huge volume that we haven't been able to significantly
pollute that entire layer of the Earth and kill off all sea life yet. 
But we're working on it.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

y = 10.44cos(2t - 0.291) cm

Explanation:

y = Acos(2πt/T + φ) = Acos(2πt/π + φ) = Acos(2t + φ)

v = y' = -2Αsin(2t + φ)

10 = Acos(2(0) + φ) = Acosφ

6 = -2Αsin(2(0) + φ) = -2Asinφ

6/10 = -2Asinφ/Acosφ = -2tanφ

tanφ = -0.3

φ = -0.291 radians

10 = Acos(-0.291)

A = 10/cos(-0.291) = 10.44

In which case would electrical potential energy be built up and stored in the electric field? a) A positive charge is moved towa
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

Although, it is common knowledge that in an electric field, unlike charges attract and like charges repel. However, to build up an electric potential, a positive charge is brought close to another positive charge - this causes work done to be changed to electric potential energy and stored in the electric field.

It should however be noted that when a negative charge is moved away from a positive charge, the negative charge gains electric potential energy.
