Why must mine tailings be stored and disposed of carefully

2 answers:

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

Answer:

maximum speed of the bananas is 18.8183 m/s

Explanation:

Given data

amplitude A = 23.195 cm

spring constant K = 15.2676 N/m

mass of the bananas m = 56.9816 kg

to find out

maximum speed of the bananas

solution

we know that radial oscillation frequency formula that is = √(K/A)

radial oscillation frequency = √(15.2676/23.195)

radial oscillation frequency is 0.8113125 rad/s

so maximum speed of the bananas = radial oscillation frequency × amplitude

maximum speed of the bananas = 0.8113125 × 23.195

maximum speed of the bananas is 18.8183 m/s

What demonstrates the flow of energy and materials through

Tcecarenko [31]

A. Food chain

A food web also shows the flow of energy and materials through an ecosystem but in a complex web, not a single chain. A biogeochemical cycle does not deal with the flow of energy/materials through an ecosystem at all.

A 210 Ohm resistor uses 9.28 W of

IgorLugansk [536]

Resistance=R=210Ohm
Power=9.28W=P

Current=I

$\boxed{\sf P=I^2R}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I^2=\dfrac{P}{R}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I^2=\dfrac{9.28}{210}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I^2\approx0.04$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I\approx\sqrt{0.04}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I\approx\sqrt{\dfrac{4}{100}}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I\approx\dfrac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{100}}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I\approx\dfrac{2}{10}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I\approx0.2A$
