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.

LOADS OF POINTS - PLEASE SHOW WORKING AND METHOD USED

erastova [34]

The formula your looking for is Vf = Vi + A (T)

Vf = Velocity Final
Vi = Velocity Initial
A = Acceleration
T = Time

Our Initial Velocity is 15m/s. That’s our starting point.

Acceleration is -3m/s. It’s negative because we’re slowing down

We know that the cyclist comes to a complete stop, which means the Final Velocity is 0

In order to solve this with the equation. We need three of the four variables. We just don’t know time. So our setup is -

0 = 15-3(T)

Then you solve

What is the Voltage of a circuit that has a resistance of 50 and a current of 2 A?

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

It's actually 100V

Explanation:

To answer this, you'd need to use Ohm's law, which states that Voltage is equivalent to the product of Current and Resistance (V=IR).

V = 50 × 2

V = 100

Therefore the voltage is a 100V.

None of the answers you have listed match this though, so I'm guessing it either must be typo or the question itself is wrong.

What is air pressure

vesna_86 [32]

Air pressure is the wi get of air molecules pressing down on the earth. The pressure of the air molecules changes as you move upward from sea level into the atmosphere, the highest pressure is at sea level where the density of the air molecules is the greatest.

1-A car moves toward east 12km is represented as A and it turns towards south 16km is represented as B. What is the resultant ve

hjlf

1. A-20 km south east

The car's displacement consists of two components into two different directions. Using a system of coordinates in which x represents the east direction and y represents the south direction, the two displacements are:

$d_x = 12 km$ east

$d_y = 16 km$ south

Since the two components are orthogonal to each other, we can find the resultant displacement by using Pythagorean's theorem:

$d=\sqrt{d_x^2+d_y^2}=\sqrt{(12 km)^2+(16 km)^2}=\sqrt{400}=20 km$

and the direction is between the two original directions, so south-east.

2. D. 10 m/s

First of all, we need to calculate the total time the stone took to hit the ground. Since the vertical distance covered is S = 78.4 m, and since the motion is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2, we have

$S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

From which we find the total time of the fall, t:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(78.4 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=4 s$

Now we can consider the horizontal motion of the stone: we know that the stone travels for d = 40 m in a time of t = 4 s, therefore the horizontal velocity of the stone is

$v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{40 m}{4 s}=10 m/s$

3. B=32.32 m

As in the previous problem, we have to calculate the total time it takes for the stone to reach the river first. Since the vertical distance covered is S = 20 m, we have

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(20 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=2.0 s$

And since the stone is traveling horizontally at v = 16 m/s, the horizontal distance covered is

$d=vt=(16 m/s)(2 s)=32 m$

So, the closest answer is B.
