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.

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The center of mass of the Earth-Moon system is 4.673 kilometers away from center of Earth.

Explanation:

Let suppose that planet and satellite can be treated as particles. The masses of Earth and Moon (m_{E}, m_{M}) are 5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg and 7.349\times 10^{22}\,kg, respectively. The distance between centers is 384,403 kilometers. The location of the center of mass can be found by using weighted averages:

\bar x = \frac{x_{E}\cdot m_{E}+x_{M}\cdot m_{M}}{m_{E}+m_{M}}

If x_{E} = 0\,km and x_{M} = 384,403\,km, then:

\bar x = \frac{(0\,km)\cdot (5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg)+(384,403\,km)\cdot (7.349\times 10^{22}\,kg)}{5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg+7.349\times 10^{22}\,kg}

\bar x = 4.673\,km

The center of mass of the Earth-Moon system is 4.673 kilometers away from center of Earth.

A 46.8-g golf ball is driven from the tee with an initial speed of 58.8 m/s and rises to a height of 24.7 m. (a) Neglect air res
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

a) the kinetic energy of the ball at its highest point is 69.58 J

b) its speed when it is 8.11 m below its highest point is 55.97 m/s

Explanation:

Given that;

mass of golf ball m = 46.8 g = 0.0468 kg

initial speed of the ball v₁ = 58.8 m/s

height h = 24.7 m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

the kinetic energy of the ball at its highest point = ?

from the conservation of energy;

Kinetic energy at the highest point will be;

K.Ei + P.Ei = KEf + PEf

now the Initial potential energy of the ball P.Ei = 0 J

so

1/2mv² + 0 J = KEf + mgh

K.Ef = 1/2mv² - mgh

we substitute

K.Ef = [1/2 × 0.0468 × (58.8 )²] - [0.0468 × 9.8 × 24.7]

K.Ef  = 80.904 - 11.3284

K.Ef = 69.58 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the ball at its highest point is 69.58 J

b) when the ball is 8.11 m below the highest point, speed = ?

so our raw height h' will be ( 24.7 m - 8.11 m) = 16.59 m

so our velocity will be v₂

also using the principle of energy conservation;

K.Ei + P.Ei = KEh + PEh

1/2mv² + 0 J = 1/2mv₂² + mgh'

1/2mv₂² = 1/2mv² - mgh'

multiply through by 2/m

v₂² = v² - 2gh'

v₂ = √( v² - 2gh' )

we substitute

v₂ = √( (58.8)² - 2×9.8×16.59 )

v₂ = √( 3457.44 - 325.164 )  

v₂ = √( 3132.276 )

v₂ = 55.97 m/s

Therefore, its speed when it is 8.11 m below its highest point is 55.97 m/s

Two long, straight wires are parallel and 26 cm apart.
mezya [45]

Answer: 2.49×10^-3 N/m

Explanation: The force per unit length that two wires exerts on each other is defined by the formula below

F/L = (u×i1×i2) / (2πr)

Where F/L = force per meter

u = permeability of free space = 1.256×10^-6 mkg/s^2A^2

i1 = current on first wire = 57A

i2 = current on second wire = 57 A

r = distance between both wires = 26cm = 0.26m

By substituting the parameters, we have that

Force per meter = (1.256×10^-6×57×57)/ 2×3.142 ×0.26

= 4080.744×10^-6/ 1.634

= 4.080×10^-3 / 1.634

= 2.49×10^-3 N/m
