All of the rivers in the United States are not monitored closely for pollution levels.

The statement in the question is False

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Not all rivers in the United States are closely monitored for their pollution levels. There are volunteers who take responsibility of checking water bodies such as lakes, rivers, streams etc. They take the next step required after finding a water body contaminated.

But to say that all the rivers receive the same amount of attention and action is incorrect. To ensure that all the rivers are clean and pollution free, it would require a lot of man power in the said department which would collect the water samples from all these rivers and send it to labs for checking the pollution level of the particular river. It can be said that the rivers which are situated beside an industrial site, close to a town, will be the priority for checking pollution levels as it would directly cause harm to a small set of population if the toxicity is at an increased level.

A Boeing 747 ""Jumbo Jet"" has a length of 59.7 m. The runway on which the plane lands intersects another runway. The width of t

Reika [66]

Answer:

1.7 seconds

Explanation:

To clear the intersection, the total distance to be covered = 59.7 + 25 =84.7m

first we need to find the initial speed to just enter the intersection by using the third equation of motion

v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*s

45^2 - u^2 = 2 * -5.7 * 84.7

u^2 = 45^2 +965.58

u^2 = 2990.58

u = 54.7 m/s

Now for time we apply the first equation of motion

v-u =a * t

t = (v-u)/a = (45 - 54.7)/-5.7 = 1.7seconds

solmaris [256]

Answer:

90 ohms

Explanation:

1/r = 1/180 + 1/180

1/r= 2/180

take the reciprocal of 2/180 which is 180/2 and its 90 ohms

1. Which type of wire would be a better conductor of an electrical current?

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

1. a

2. b

3. b

Explanation:

Resistance is the property of a conductor to offer resistance to the flow of current. The lower the resistance better is the conductivity of wire.

We know that the resistance of a wire depends on several factor which are inter-connected by an equation as:

$R=\rho.\frac{l}{a}$

where:

R = resistance of the wire

$l =$ length of the wire

$a=$ cross sectional area of the wire

from the above relation we observe that

$R\propto l$

$R\propto \frac{1}{a}$

Also when the temperature of the wire is significantly high then the lattice vibration cause obstruction in the path of the flowing charges and reduce the current flow.

As the collision between the electrons and protons increases the speed of the flow of charges will decrease because the opposite charges attract each other and as we know that electrical current is the rate of flow of charge.

Heating up of wire due to sunlight will cause lattice vibration in the conductor and will obstruct the movement of the charges which build up electric current, hence increasing the resistance of conductivity.
