Out of the following given choices;

A) It is always difficult to get a project like this approved. This study will help them convince the local community to support the project.

B) If they do not perform the study, and there is a problem during the dredging project, the media could make them look bad.

C)The study will weigh the benefits against the negative impacts so an informed decision can be made.

D)The study will demonstrate the local government's concern for the community's safety.


The answer is; C

Dredging can have a negative impact on the marine environment. Destruction of this ecosystem could have reverberating effects that affect the communities that rely on this ecosystem for livelihoods, such as fishermen. An environmental and feasibility study will help weigh the benefits and demerits of the project and allow for an informed decision to be made.

DochEvi [55]
To find velocity on a distance vs time graph, find the slope (of line segment C in this case)

Calculate slope by finding rise (change in x) over run (change in x).

Electromagnetic radiation is emitted by accelerating charges. The rate at which energy is emitted from an accelerating charge th
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

 P /K = 1,997 10⁻³⁶  s⁻¹

Explanation:

For this exercise let's start by finding the radiation emitted from the accelerator

       \frac{dE}{dt} = \frac{q^{2} a^{2} }{6\pi  \epsilon_{o} c^{2}    }

the radius of the orbit is the radius of the accelerator a = r = 0.530 m

let's calculate

       \frac{dE}{dt} = [(1.6 10⁻¹⁹)² 0.530²] / [6π 8.85 10⁻¹² (3 108)³]

      P= \frac{dE}{dt}= 1.597 10⁻⁵⁴ W

Now let's reduce the kinetic energy to SI units

       K = 5.0 10⁶ eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1 eV) = 8.0 10⁻¹⁹ J

the fraction of energy emitted is

      P / K = 1.597 10⁻⁵⁴ / 8.0 10⁻¹⁹

      P /K = 1,997 10⁻³⁶  s⁻¹

How might an ecologist Measure population density of pine trees in an actual forest?
ruslelena [56]
<span>Ans : The best way to estimate the population density of pine trees in an actual forest is to count the number of trees in a small area and than multiply to find the number in a large area. To get the most accurate estimate, your sample area should be typical of the larger area. Suppose you count 10 pine tree in 100 sq meters of the forest. If the entire forest were 100 times the size, you would multiply your count by 100 to estimate the total population density, or 1000 (10X100) pine trees.</span>

In a photoelectric effect experiment, it is observed that violet light does not eject electrons from a particular metal. Next, r
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

No ejection of photo electron takes place.

Explanation:

When a photon of suitable energy falls on cathode, then the photoelectrons is emitted from the cathode. This phenomenon is called photo electric effect.

The minimum energy required to just  eject an electron is called work function.

The photo electric equation is

E = W + KE

where, E is the incident energy, W is the work function and KE is the kinetic energy.

W = h f

where. h is the Plank's constant and f is the threshold frequency.

Now, when the violet light is falling, no electrons is ejected. When the red light is falling, whose frequency is less than the violet light, then again no photo electron is ejected from the metal surface.
