Answer:

Among the main impacts that mining can cause to the environment are the destruction of the earth's crust, the contamination of the waters, the impact on the flora and fauna of the environment close to mining and the negative effects on human health of nearby populations to the mine, as well as deforestation, earthworks, chemical contamination and other substances used to extract the ore.

lakkis [162]

Answer:

A- series B- parallel

Explanation:

In order to measure current in a circuit, the multi-meter needs to be placed in series with the circuit while when measuring voltage, the multi-meter needs to be placed in parallel with the circuit.

It should be however noted that the same current flows in a series connected circuit and same voltage flows through loads connected in parallel. The ammeter is placed in series with the load to ensure that same value of currents is flowing in both the ammeter and loads(since same current flows in series connected circuit elements and all the amount of voltage must be made to appear on the load for the current to be measured accurately.

Voltmeter is connected in parallel to the load due to high value of current possessed by the voltmeter. The parallel connection will cause the current flowing through the voltmeter to reduce to zero so that it won't have effect (increase) on the amount of current initially on the resistor thereby measuring the exact amount of voltage on the load.

Calculate the tension on the rope.<br> A. 57.89 N<br> B. 32.73 N<br> C. 69.84 N<br> D. 12.55 N
Ratling [72]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{\text{B. 32.73N}}

To calculate the tension, we must calculate the acceleration of the system.

Begin with a summation of forces:

∑F = -M₁gsinФ + T - T + M₂g

Simplify and solve for acceleration: (Tensions cancel out)

a = \frac{-M_1gsin\theta + T - T + M_2g}{M_1+M_2}

Plug in values. Let g = 10 m/s²

a = \frac{-3(10)(sin30)+8(10)}{3+8} = 5.91 m/s^{2}

Now, to find tension, let's sum up the forces acting on ONE block. For simplicity, we can look at the hanging block:

∑F = -T + W

ma = -T + W

Rearrange to solve for T:

T = W - ma

We know the acceleration, so plug in the values:

T = (8)(10) - (8)(5.91) = 32.73 N

An Argon laser (λ = 5.0×102nm) shines down a silica glass fiber-optic cable with index of refraction 1.46. What is the speed of
Yanka [14]

Answer:

The speed of the laser light in the cable, c_f=2.1\times 10^8\ m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of Argon laser, \lambda=5\times 10^2\ nm=5\times 10^{-7}\ m

Refractive index, n = 1.46

Let c_f is the speed of the laser light in the cable. The speed of light in a medium is given by :

c_f=\dfrac{c}{n}

c_f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{1.46}

c_f=2.05\times 10^8\ m/s

or

c_f=2.1\times 10^8\ m/s

So, the speed of the laser light is 2.1\times 10^8\ m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
