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

A car starts moving from the position of rest with uniform acceleration of 8m/s^calculate the distance travelled by it during 10
ad-work [718]

We calculate the coordinates at t₁ = 9 min and t₂ = 10 min, since the 10th minute is between t₁ and t₂.

As it leaves from rest, it means that the initial speed is zero


t₁=9 min=540 s

t₂=10 min=600 s

x₁=at₁²/2=8*540²/2=4*291600=1166400 m

x₂=at₂²/2=8*600²/2=4*360000=1440000 m

Δx=x₂-x₁=1440000-1166400=273600 m represents the distance traveled by the car in the 10th minute of travel
