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.

Assume that the polymer material has a constant refractive index of 1.5. For light of 600nm wavelength at normal incidence, what

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Minimum thickness will be 100 nm

Explanation:

We have given refractive index is n = 1.5

Wavelength of the light incidence $\lambda$ = 600 nm

We have to find the smallest thickness of the film so that there will be minimum light reflect

For minimum thickness of non reflecting film

$t=\frac{\lambda }{4n}$ , here t is thickness, $\lambda$ is wavelength and n is refractive index

Putting all values $t=\frac{600}{4\times 1.5}=100nm$

So minimum thickness will be 100 nm

If you see a sedimentary rock outcrop and red layers of sand are on top of pale yellow layers of sand, what do you know for sure

neonofarm [45]

Answer: The yellow layer is definitely older than the red layer

Explanation: According to Nicolaus Steno's law of superposition and original horizontality. Older rocks underlie younger rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are usually deposited in horizontal layers in which each stratigraphic layer is laid down before another can be deposited upon it.

The red layer, in addition to being older, is also likely to have undergone intense oxidation due to earlier exposure.

Need Help with this physics question, just a written response

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction

so it tells us that the force exerted by the earth on the spacecraft is equal to the force exerted by the spacecraft on the earth. But we do not see the earth moving towards the spacecraft because the inertia of the spacecraft is very less than the inertia of the earth.

A force exerted on an object produces acceleration. If the mass remains the same and the acceleration is doubled, the force must

Inga [223]

<h2>Answer</h2>

The force will be doubled.

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Using Newton Law II,

So it can be seen in the formula that force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration.

if mass is doubled ---> force will be doubled, keeping acceleration constant.

Similarly,

if acceleration is doubled ---? force is will be doubled, keeping mass constant.
