Mine tailings be stored and disposed of carefully since they contain a lot of chemicals that are very toxic that leaches into aquifers, and they also runoff in the rainwater into streams and lakes.

Tailings, also called mine <span>dumps, culm dumps, slimes, tails, refuse, leach residue or slickens, are the materials left over after the process of separating the valuable fraction from the uneconomic fraction (gangue) of an ore.</span>

Answer:

The mining tailings are the leftovers of the porces in which some minerals (the part that they do not want to keep) are separatd from a given ore. This leftovers usually contain some chemical compounds that may be dangerous for the enviroment, and other problem is the fact that some of the separated minerals can be also dangerous, for example things like the arsenic or the mercury.

This is why the mine tailings must be stored and disposed carefully

8. Il An 8.00 kg package in a mail-sorting room slides 2.00 m down a
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Normal force = m g cos 53 = 8 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * cos 53 = 47.1823 N

  no work is done by this force

Force friction = coeff friction * force normal = .4 * 47.1823 = 7.55 N

   work of friction = 7.55 * 2 m = 15.1 j

Force Downplane = mg sin 53 = 62.61  N

    work = 62.61 * 2 = 125.22 j

Net Force downplane =   force downplane - force friction = 55.06 N

net Work = force * distance = 55.06 N * 2 M = 110.12 j

How do you think electricity was discovered
sasho [114]
Italian physicist Alessandro Volta discovered that particular chemical reactions could produce electricity, and in 1800 he constructed the voltaic pile (an early electric battery) that produced a steady electric current, and so he was the first person to create a steady flow of electrical charge.

2. A 1750 kg car accelerates at a rate of 4.0 m/s2. How much force is the cars engine producing?
8090 [49]

Answer:

<h2>7000 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 1750 × 4

We have the final answer as

<h3>7000 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

Assuming the objects roll down the inclined plane, yes.
If the object never touches the plane, then no.
