Why must mine tailings be stored and disposed of carefully

Physics

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

how fast in revolutions per minute must a centrifuge rotate in order to subject the contents of a test tube (30cm) from the axis
trapecia [35]

Answer:

ω=6684.51 rpm

Explanation:

r= 30cm= 0.3m

a= 15000gs (convert to m/s^{2}

1g = 9.8 m/s^{2}

a= 15000 *9.8 = 147000 m/s^{2}

a=\frac{v^{2} }{r}

147000 = \frac{v^{2} }{0.3}

147000*0.3 = v^{2}

44100 = v^{2}

√44100 = v

210m/s  = v

v=210m/s (linear velocity)

we will convert this to angular velocity

ω=\frac{v}{r}  

ω= 210/0.3

ω= 700 rads^{-1}

we will convert this to rev per minute

1rad per second = 9.5493 rev per minute

ω= 700*9.5493

ω=6684.51 rpm

A 0.40-kg cart with charge 4.0 x 10-5 C starts at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface 0.50 m from a fixed object with char
maw [93]

Answer:

26.82m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass = m= 0.4kg

Initial Velocity = u = 0

Charge = 4.0E-5C

Distance= d = 0.5m

Object Charge = 2E-4C

First, we'll calculate the initial energy (E)

E = Potential Energy

PE = kQq / d

Where k = coulomb constant = 8.99E9Nm²/C²

Energy is then calculated by;

PE = 8.99E9 * 4E-5 * 2E-4 / 0.5

PE = 143.84J

Energy = Potential Energy = Kinetic Energy

K.E = ½mv² = 143.84J

½mv² = ½ * 0.40 * v² = 143.85

0.2v² = 143.85

v² = 143.85/0.2

v² = 719.25

v = √719.25

v = 26.81883666380777

v = 26.82m/s

Hence, the object is 26.82m/s fast when the cart moving is very far (infinity) from the fixed charge

Work = force x distance. In units, Joules = Newtons x meters.

So: Work = 50 Newtons x 3 meters

Work  = 150 joules. Answer D is correct

FYI - to ace physics, you should learn to identify these values using their fundamental units:
Force = Newtons = Kg·m/s²
Work = joules = kg·m²/s²
Power = watts = kg·m²/s³

In high school physics, If you learn to arrange equations so the units work out properly for the answer, you'll get most problems correct.

shows a conical pendulum, in which the bob (the small object at the lower end of the cord) moves in a horizontal circle at const
Contact [7]

Answer:

a) T=0.40 N

b) T=1.9 s

Explanation:

Let's find the radius of the circumference first. We know that bob follows a circular path of circumference 0.94 m, it means that the perimeter is 0.94 m.

The perimeter of a circunference is:

P=2\pi r=0.94

r=\frac{0.94}{2\pi}=0.15 m

Now, we need to find the angle of the pendulum from vertical.

tan(\alpha)=\frac{r}{L}=\frac{0.15}{0.90}=0.17

\alpha=9.44 ^{\circ}

Let's apply Newton's second law to find the tension.

\sum F=ma_{c}=m\omega^{2}r

We use centripetal acceleration here, because we have a circular motion.

The vertical equation of motion will be:

Tcos(\alpha)=mg (1)

The horizontal equation of motion will be:

Tsin(\alpha)=m\omega^{2}r (2)

a) We can find T usinf the equation (1):

T=\frac {mg}{cos(\alpha)}=\frac{0.04*9.81}{cos(9.44)}=0.40 N

We can find the angular velocity (ω) from the equation (2):

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{Tsin(\alpha)}{mr}}=3.31 rad/s

b) We know that the period is T=2π/ω, therefore:

T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}=\frac{2\pi}{3.31}=1.9 s

I hope it helps you!
